Peanut is no longer the smallest creature in our house. During his latest well baby check-up on Friday, Sam tipped the scales at 12 pounds and 8 ounces, and now outweighs Phil the cat by a full 8 ounces. I guess it will be awhile before he surpasses Louie, who's at 80 pounds and counting...with each and every cookie he tricks me into giving him.
Sam's growing tall, too, and is now 23-3/4 inches long, putting him in the 75th percentile for both weight and height. He's only in the 25th percentile for head circumference (but the doc said that was fine), apparently inheriting the "pea head" that Adrian accuses me of having.
Our little guy's also got his first cold, but it's not been too bad. A stuffed up nose and a lot of protesting when we try to clean it for him. The pediatrician said to run a humidifier for him, which not only will help his cold, but should also serve as that white noise he loves so much.
It's not slowing down his playtime though. He's spending more and more time with his little play mat thingee (seen here) and chatting it up with his friends on his mobile. We're also giving him more and more "tummy time," encouraging him to learn to push up on his arms. He still pretty much hates it and doesn't hesitate to tell us so.
