What's Justin up to these days

Gross Motor Skills
Justin is sitting unassisted, can pull himself to stand in his crib, and can get himself into a seated position from both his stomach and back. He's still not crawling but is starting to scoot on his stomach.

Feeding
Justin's eating 6-8 ozs (30 calorie Neosure) per bottle 4 times a day. He's also eating stage 2 solids twice a day and we're also introducing him to other foods to get him used to different textures. He's had ice cream, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, crackers, celery, carrots, and pickles just to name a few. Although the last 3 he's not really eating, just gumming on. As soon as we finish the stage 2's we have we'll be moving on to stage 3 foods.

Talking
Justin is finally saying mom and mama. He's babbling quite a bit, but no other really distinguishable words. He's on month 2 of "Your Baby Can Read" and loves it. He's not saying the words just yet but you can tell he's totally grasping the meanings/concepts. Just yesterday he shook his head no when they asked him to and he also loves when they do "arms up".

Sleeping
Justin continues to sleep through the night. He takes 2 naps during the day, anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. He gets a bath at 9, then a bottle, and on a good day he's asleep by 10. But most nights he's not falling asleep until 11, sometimes even midnight. For now it's not that big of a deal because I'm off so I can sleep in with him, but I'd really like to move up his bedtime by the time I go back to work next month. I've already adjusted his nap schedule and don't let him nap past 6. Now I need to start waking him up earlier since he normally sleeps until 9 or 10. Maybe I need to shorten his nap times too.

Other
Ty C taught Justin how to hi-5 this weekend; it's so cute. He loves playing with his toys and is starting to understand cause and effect. No teeth yet, but he continues to drool and put everything in his mouth. I really wish they would just break through already.
