Vier Monate
For my records...
May 7, 2013
65 cm - 25.59 inches
7450 g - 16 lbs 6.79 oz
Prior to our trip to the US for Spencer's wedding, Atticus was doing amazingly well. he was going to sleep between 8 and 9pm and waking between 6 and 7am. We felt really lucky for how easy he was for us.
After our trip, we have had a lot of trouble getting him to readjust to life in Germany. However, it has taught me a lot.
Things I have learned:
1. Crying is ok. I am not helping him by running to his every little noise. I need to leave him alone and let him discover how to entertain himself and how to put himself to sleep.
2. He needs to be left on his blanket on the floor so he can play with his hands, learn to roll on his own, and discover the world around him. I do not want to put him in his bouncer or swing if it can be avoided.
3. I do not care about developmental milestones anymore (unless he is way behind) or him being "ahead". I want him to discover everything on his own and I do not want to push him to "beat a date".
4. I want to create less stress for him. This means not traveling as much or putting him in too many environments where he may be stressed.
5. He is getting enough food. Even though my supply dipped after the wedding, he is getting enough and my supply has returned.
