Got his first hair cut on December 29. Nothing more than a trim but the fohawk was getting a little long. Hair is still pretty blonde and those eyes have turned to a brown green just like dad.

Dislikes eating solids prefers to be bottle fed all day long. Did try coconut milk and sweet potatoes this month. Still drinking about 4oz every 3 hours but you cluster feed before bed and can drink up to 9 oz. 

Can hold his own bottle and feed himself when he wants to. 

Has deep belly laughs that are contagious. And flashes these adorable smiles with that dimple and this momma just melts, even when he's being a total stinker. 

Bedtime is still a chore. But you are doing better at crying it out for a few minutes or putting yourself to sleep. It sometimes helps if we give you a little bit of a bottle to hold and drink. Not the safest thing I know but it's never more than 2 oz and I remove it once you're asleep. 

You no longer like being swaddled but wear a wearable blanket because sometimes it's cold in your room at night. 

Won't crawl. Just rolls around to where ever you want to go. Just barely started scooting around. 

Still does not like a binkie much but every once and a while takes one. 

No teeth. 

Grunts and squeals when he's being ignored or just playing around on the floor. 

Sits up for about 10 seconds by himself. Getting a little stronger every day. 

Had three laser treatments on the hemangioma. It's getting smaller but I think it will be a while until it's fully gone.

Loves to chew on pizza crust but I'm nervous to give you too many more "snacks" because of your lack of eating solids. You've tried all the baby foods and nothing has really grabbed your attention enough to want to eat the whole jar. So silly.

Anywhere moms is is where you want to be. Sometimes its cute, but sometimes it drives me crazy.
You like to sit on the counter when I'm washing dishes or cooking.
