Here is the low down...
weight: 15 pounds 2 oz - 50-75%
Dr. Staerz said that he has had "explosive growth" in regards to his weight because he started out at the 10th percentile
length: 25 1/8th inches - 50-75%
head: 42 1/4 cm - 50%
Overall he is a healthy baby boy. Wes is still a bit wobbly for his age so we are off to PT to learn some exercises to strengthen him. I got approval to put him in his Johnny Jump-up and Exersaucer to get him stronger. I think that Nick and I have not been putting him on his stomach as much as we should have been and this has not given Wes the opportunity to use his muscles. I am excited and motivated to help him get stronger. Will give an update on PT after we go.
As for food... she gave me the go ahead for water but to hold off on solids until he is stronger. Since he has been refusing breastmilk out of a bottle she suggested I try using a Nuby sippy cup and see if he will take that. I am keeping my fingers crossed...
He is interacting lots and observant of his surroundings. He is also "blowing bubbles" which is too cute! Luke remains a great older brother and gives Wes hugs and kisses. I have yet to have a problem with him being too aggressive or hurtful towards his baby brother.
I just love being a mother to my two adorable boys. :)
