Yes i know most of them he is sleeping, but honestly that is all he does, and he finds the funniest ways to sleep!! I am thinking that i should finally post more about how Ky is, and what a better day to do it than the day that was supposed to be his birthday!! Now instead he will be 4 weeks old Wednesday...oh how time flys!! Here is a little about my growing guy
~ When he was 9 days old we had him weighed and he was 6lb 6 oz (was 7lb 2 oz at birth) he came in at the 6th %tile. His head was in the 12th %tile, and height was in the 9th.
~ Last week at 19 days old he had jumped to 8lb 1oz!!!! He jumped to the 20th %tile. What an eater! (it did help i am sure that i had to feed him every 2 hours)
~ He is still yellow from his jaundice...i guess we get to have a yellow guy for about another month.
~ He is getting super strong. He can lift his legs off the ground and swing them when on his belly. He has even managed to roll himself over onto his back--i think it was pure luck, but hey he has to have strength to do it!
~ He loves laying on his side and belly
~ He HATED baths until maybe 5 days ago. He screamed the minute he hit the water. Now he loves them. He needed a reminder today...he had a laps of memory and thought he still hated them, but after some reminding he quieted down and enjoyed the rest.
~He likes an occasional shower too!
~ He SLEEPS ALL DAY! That is how it seems. We get his eyes for a few minutes a couple times a day but that is it.
~He can be found sleeping with his mouth wide open waiting for a fly (as dad puts it).
~He doesn't like his diaper changed.
~He hated his car seat, until mom and dad realized he was probably claustrophobic in there with both of the head things in it....once we removed one of them, he was a content little guy to get in there (well most of the time)
~He is an excellent traveler....he in the short time he has been alive has...gone from the hospital home (2 hours), back up to the hospital in Murray the next week for mom (2 hours again), to Provo (1.5 hours), 2 trips to Ephraim (30 minutes) and a trip out to Grandma Rees' (2 hours). He sleeps the whole time, and if he happens to wake, if i put my hand on his cheek he will hold on for dear life and calm down.
~He loves to suck! He and his binki are getting to be close pals! And when the binki is MIA he will latch onto whatever he can find...the top of his hand and his wrist are his favorite. He has even been known to give himself monkey bites!! Bad ones, they were purple...promise i am not abusing my son!
~He LOVES to stretch! He Stretches probably close to a thousand times a day :) Seriously, he loves it and does it more than i could ever keep track of.
~He scrunches his forehead up and gives scouls lots....cute scouls though :)
~He loves to be swaddled and cuddled up. (When he wont go back to sleep, he just has to lay with mom or dad in bed for a little while and he is out cold....he loves to be close to you, and cuddle up with ya. (YEA!!)
~He loves to get his hair combed. Funny but when he is crying, which is not all that often, but when he is after a diaper change, if you comb his hair he will calm right down.
~Now he is starting to like to look right at your face (in the brief moments he is actually awake)
~He will stare at his toys on his play mat. Today he cound the mirror quite facinating. (So cute to watch, might i mention)
Well i think i could go on forever about him, but i think this is about all for the moment. More to come as always!
