cannon at 21 weeks....

So, the little man is almost 5 months old. He is 12 weeks old adjusted age. He is growing and changing so much everyday. Here are a few things about Cannon at 21 weeks:

- He is sleeping anywhere from 5-9 hours at night. He goes to bed early and wakes up (way too) early.

- We are having a hard time getting settled into a schedule, but I think it will be easier once he is sleeping more consistently at night.

- He loves looking at familiar faces. It takes him a while to warm up to new faces. He is definitely partial to his momma's face :)

- He is about 12.5 pounds and is wearing 3-6 months clothing and size 2 diapers.

- He still loves to be swaddled when he sleeps.

- He is being monitored weekly by a physical therapist (the same lady that Charlie had, we love her!). The left side of his neck and mouth is very tight. We are doing daily exercises to work on getting him loosened up. If we can get his tongue muscles loosened, we believe that it will help with his gas problems as he hopefully won't swallow as much air when he drinks.

- He is doing great with head control. He loves to hold his head on his own and is always trying to pull his head up when he is lying down - Mr. Independent already.

- He is still not sleeping much during the day. We are continually rotating through being held, being fed, hanging out in the bouncy chair and swing, doing tummy time and chilling in the sling.

I knew I had some pictures of Charlie in this same shirt, so I dug them out to compare. It looks like Cannon is about the same size at 5 months as Charlie was at 8 months. We have noticed that Cannon seems to be growing much faster than Charlie did. I love to see these photos side by side, so many similarities and differences between these two cute boys. (I wish the photo of Cannon was better. I had bad lighting today and it is a little blurry. Oh well!)
