And the winner is...

Callie!

Atticus is 21 lb 8 oz and 29 inches. (BTW- we stopped using an infant seat several months ago...)

Our doc put him in ~65% for height and weight.

Atti is reaching all of his milestones- crawling, standing/pulling up, babbling, etc. He even can sign for milk (which he does ALL THE TIME). Now if he would only take naps during the day... If any mommies out there have some helpful hints for naps, we'd love them! We have been working on a schedule, but Atti doesn't do well being told when to sleep. Poor Jeff! We could let him cry for an hour and he won't go down. Our doc just said keep trying and if he's not sleeping better in six weeks give us a call. He also mentioned that we've probably got a strong-willed on our hands and that we've got more to look forward to! Nights are getting better and he does better with going down and staying down.

Thanks for all your guesses! I'll try to take/post some new pics tomorrow. Coming soon... Fright Fest pics!

Em- Try reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". It has some good recommendations and it goes from birth into childhood. It was a lifesaver with Olivia. When she was Atti's age she woke up at 7am, napped from 9-11am, napped from 1-3ishpm, and went to bed at 7pm and slept through the night... the book is amazing! But, like all things not everything works for all babies. Savannah is a little more strong willed... she is still getting up twice in the night and she thinks the day starts at 5:30am!

Thanks MS. I have that book and we're working on his routine. The book says to allow babies to cry up to an hour to try to get them down for naps and Atti will go the whole hour. He's very strong-willed! Nighttime is getting better and he'll only cry a bit, but during the day... Forget it! I think we're both in for it with our strong-willed little ones!
