Today being Thursday we got weighed. Prior to this we went for our morning walk, ate breakfast, took a nap, and went to the park. We tried out a new park- near grandpa J and grandma C's house. I think it's a bit old for big guy b/c there are a lot of slides. But we sat on a swing for the first time. Very cool. Big guy liked holding onto the chain. We walked across one of those bridges that bounces slightly. Which was cool b/c the texture is different from normal ground and you can see the mulch underneath. Then we walked in mulch which was really fun and really messy. Big guy liked the mulch the most. He tried several times to bend over and pick up a handful! Following the park, we took another short nap. Then we got up and played on our floor mat and exersaucer. More naps and playing followed!
We made it to BF group and I spoke with T- the lactation consultant about the refusal to nap and eat. She said it could be teething- he always drools so much when we are there. She said to just keep doing what I'm doing- which is just offering him a chance to eat often and when he's sleepy. We also discussed his starting oatmeal and she said to give it to him in he morning if he is sleeping well at night ( which he has been recently- probably due to the immense amount of activities we do during the day!) she also said the oatmeal may settle him down for the rest of the day! Promising! Then she showed him off to the other moms with younger babies. It's so funny that she does that every week. Secretly, I'm thrilled- we could be a BF poster. Big guy was the same weight as last week, which is great, as they are supposed to slow down after four months. All in all, a pretty great day!
