Sterling had a checkup/immunizations yesterday. He is now weighing 15lbs 8oz. He is 24.5 inches long. I was told he is the 50th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. She said he is progressing quite nice. He did wake up with a fever this morning, from those darn shots. My mother was changing his diaper last night, and be mistake grabbed his thigh. He screamed! Poor guy. The pediatrician gave us the green light to begin solids. I told her he had already begun rice 2 weeks ago. We didn't really discuss to much. I asked things like, "when can I take him for walks" I want to know how warm it has to be outside. We are getting restless. I also asked for some advice on how to keep Jeremy in his memory, when he deploys out again. We need to make another picture album of Jeremy, for him to look at daily.
The other day Sterling was crying and my dog Julian began howling (something I have never heard him do) it was so weird! I felt like Julian was worried about Sterling. Ever since then, Julian will howl if Sterling cries for longer than 5 minutes. With Sterling's recent visit to the doctor, he has been so fussy, and crying way more than he usually does.
My little guy has changed so much. He really loves being read to. He loves it when I sing to him and loves bath time. He kicks the water around, so bath time is pretty messy. Also, he found his feet last week, and likes trying to eat them.
Not too much more going on here, oh and now I hear Sterling waking up from his nap....better go!
