Mommy Bootcamp

Jayden sitting up all by himself. The pillows are to cushion his fall

Tired out from all the hard work


Jumping in his Johnny Jump Up


For the past couple of weeks I have been working hard with Jayden to help him meet some of the milestones he was behind in. I have been asking everyone for advice and reading a lot of books. I think it has paid off. Jayden has been sitting by himself and rolling over. He still isn't bearing weight on his legs but now thanks to the Johnny Jump up he loves to bounce when you hold him up. So at least he is using his legs and building up strength . I know I had posted a video of him rolling before but he really didn't roll much after that. But now he is doing it like a champ. I was going to post another video but I couldn't get it to work. so hopefully I can later. He is also babbling a ton and it is so cute. He may be our little jabber mouth.

6th month Check up



Jayden had his six month check up yesterday here are his stats:

Weight 14lb 13 1/2 oz 8th percentile

Length 26 1/4 inches 45th percentile

The doctor sayd he looks pretty good however his gross motor skills are a little delayed he said he is about where a five month old is. So we are going to keep an eye on it and check back with him in a month. The doctor isn't too worried yet but said that it is something we need to keep an eye on. He just got a pretty bad cold as well and has been fighting off a fever the past couple of days. That coupled with getting shots yesterday has made for one unhappy boy and two tired parents.
