The 5 month checkup

Gone are the days of this kiddo crying when he gets shots.  He is a rockstar!  He didn't make a peep, and hardly noticed the first one, then he barely cried after the second.  He was back to smiling and laughing within minutes.  Man! am I a lucky, lucky mom! 

Length for age

Weight for Age

Shock of all shocks...he's getting taller by the month...last month was only 25th percentile and now he's 53rd! Still hanging around 20-25th for weight.  Not bad for a premie, eh?

Proof that he does eat:

He hasn't quite mastered the self-feeding yet, but he's definitely trying!  We're practing bottle-feeding to make sure he'll still eat when Mom goes back to work in a couple weeks.  :(   Leaves me hands free to update the blog though!  :)
