I took little Paxton in for a well child visit today and I wanted to document his stats and give a little update on what a cutie he is!
Height: 25.26 inches, 93rd percentile
Weight: 14.29 lbs, 80th percentile
Head Circumference: 15.7 inches, 27 percentile
He's kept pretty close to the same size as the other boy's so far, big and cute! :) (Sorry no blog post for Zack at that age, I hadn't started blogging yet! But he was about the same size as the other 2!) I keep little keepsake books for each kid and pregnancy, it's been fun to see how close they all are in size. I keep hearing people tell me "he's definitely a Nelson boy" when they see Paxton for the first time, I LOVE hearing it! I think it's so cute when siblings closely resemble each other and I love that my kids do! :)
Just last weekend Paxton laughed for the first time! It was SOOOOO stinking cute! We keep trying to get him to laugh more often but it's like he tries with ALL his might not to laugh. :) We'll tickle him and he'll wiggle around and smile and hold his breath so he doesn't laugh. It's silly and cute and we love it!
Pax is a VERY happy baby. He needs just a tiny bit of attention (especially from dad or Zack) and he'll break into an instant smile. He loves to coo and talk to us.
He, unlike the other boys did, LOVES being on his tummy. From the time he was about 2+ weeks he has preferred to be laid down on his tummy. My theory is that it's because his head is significantly smaller than his older brothers so, unlike them, it's not to difficult to hold it up while laying on his belly! :)
He is a GREAT little sleeper! He sleeps THROUGH THE NIGHT from 7pm-7am nearly every night. If he does wake up it's just once between 3:30-4:30 for a quick feeding and goes right back to sleep! Naps are a little sketchier, he's inconsistent with his nap schedule and doesn't regularly take long naps. However, he's easy to get to sleep and doesn't mind "sleeping on the go" in his carseat or the stroller occasionally which is really nice for me!
It has only been 2+ months that he's been in our home and I can hardly imagine life without him. I enjoy every minute of having a baby around and feel spoiled rotten to have 3 healthy, loving, sweet little boys in my home!
