Duane went to the doctor's yesterday. He got three pokes in the legs (shots) and has been terribly grumpy and clingy since then. When the doctor came into the room to do the regular check up, Duane was sitting up on the table and smashing the tissue paper they put down with his hands. The doctor looked in shock and said, "I can't believe he's sitting up so well!" Duane was sitting by himself. I was standing right next to the table just in case, but he was doing wonderfully on his own. "Usually babies are able to sit up, but they topple over within a few seconds." The doctor informed us.
We were pleased, but not shocked. To us our baby is what we are used to. He is bigger and stronger than most other babies and was one week late so he had more time to develop. Now he is pulling himself up on tables and sofas, but he isn't crawling. He hates to spend time on his tummy, but is growing more and more used to the idea. He can now get on all fours and rock back and forth.
Baby Duane weighed 18 pounds and 13 ounces and was 27 inches long as of yesterday morning. He has just recently started taking an 8 ounce bottle on top of nursing and solid foods. The solid foods I've managed to work into his diet are rice cereal, yams, carrots and bananas. He is growing strong and healthy and is a huge weight to lug around! LoL
