He has 2 teeth, and knows how to use them. Breastfeeding has become painful at times because he likes to bite. I have been assured by some breastfeeding pros that with time he will stop doing this.
He likes to be cuddled and entertained. Evan is a happy go lucky little guy, until he is put down by himself or is ignored for a few minutes, then he can shriek like a banshee. I love having him close, but do find it hard to have to hold him so much. We did just introduce the bouncer, which he LOVES, so that has freed me up a little as he is content to stay in there by himself for a little while. He will also take an afternoon nap in his swing, which gives me some free time too. The twins love his swing too though, so I can only use it when they are napping or upstairs.
He is growing like a weed. He didn't get measured this month, but his clothes keep getting tighter and he has some nice chub. He is still tall and skinny like Anna and Alex, but not as slim as he once was. He loves to eat and nurses a LOT (1 to 3 times in the middle of the night still). I also have to give him a little formula in the later part of the day to keep him satisfied and gaining well. I hate doing it, and wish he could be exclusively breast fed, but the few oz he gets are just a small percent of his daily intake, yet make the difference.
Evan is obsessed with food and tries to grab it off my plate, out of my hand, out of my mouth etc. He will stare at me and mimic chewing motions and drool. He will really be ready to eat when he hits that 6 month mark (if I don't give in before).
He is on the move all the time. Wiggle wiggle wiggle. He rolls over both directions, pushes himself backwards and around in circles and is trying to scoot his knees up underneath his bum. It really isn't going to be long before he is on the move in a forwards direction. I hope he takes a while longer...
