Legan update!
Weight: 19 lbs
Length: 26.75"
Head: 18.75"
Head: 18.75"
Percentiles: 91%, 83%, and 100+% in that order.
New Skills: Rolling from back to front, taking his socks off, turning around in circles on the floor (whether on his belly or back), and moving toys from one hand to another. GRABBING EVERYTHING and eating it.
Likes: Chewing on anything he can, tasting new foods, stroller rides, showertime, and hanging out with people more than anything.
Dislikes: Being home with just mom, being on his side for PT, getting his eye boogers cleaned out.
Tummy problems: Still definitely on the Zantac, but we seem to be increasing it slower. Still kinda pukey most mornings, but I think it's from swallowing too much saliva overnight.
Eating progress: We have had some tastes of some real people food. We're planning on mostly skipping purees/baby food of all sorts - just not worth it plus I have no reason to want to force feed him. So we're offering tastes of adult food that is appropriate. So far he's had: plain sweet potato, smidgens of corn cassarole (missing the kernels), tiny apple chunks, veggie pasta, split pea soup, tomato, one tiny piece of pickle (it was worth his face!), scrambled eggs, and little bits of orange minus the fiber. He really liked the sweet potato, tomato, and pea soup - everything else he makes funny faces at.
Sleeping: Goes back and forth. We'll have a week of OK - up only once or twice in 12 hours overnight, with maybe 1 75 minute nap, and 2 short ones. Then we have a week or two of terrible - up 4-5 times overnight (every 1-3 hours) with 4 or 5 15-25 minute naps during the day. There's not much I can do about it, other than cry. On the bad days he gets totally overtired and can't sleep and won't let me put him down either...
Clothing sizes: some 6 month, but mostly 9 month and some 12s.
Other new updates: Impatiently waiting for his teeth to come in and stop bugging him!.
Mommy Update!

STILL waiting on my insurance card. SO FRUSTRATED with the State of Illinois, but totally not willing to spend hours on hold on their phone system. So irked. So pretty much nothing has changed. I still hurt. I've got back to my workout routine - I'll write it out below - and try to take maybe 2-3 walks a week, but it all hurts. I also don't take walks with baby when it's raining out and it's been raining for just over a week now....
Physical stuff: Still suffering irritated skin around the incision, deeper scar tissue pain there, plus looseness at my pelvic juncture that causes pain anytime my knees aren't lined up next to each other.
Workout routine, in this order:
Group 1:
1 set of 20 squats, over baby
1 set of 6 pushups, over baby
1 set of 20 toe touches, over baby
1 set of 2 (each side) windmills, over baby
short break
Group 2:
1 set of 20 squats, over baby
1 set of 6 pushups, over baby
1 set of 12 arm curls, using baby as weight
1 set of 12 shoulder presses, using baby as weight
short break
Repeat Group 1
short break
Repeat Group 2
DONE!

Emotionally: Pretty much nothing has changed on this front. I did get up on my horse about 2 weeks ago and it was a great time. Then I physically paid for it with pretty intense pelvic pain for a few days.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I love when he has to stop to contemplate his hands/fingers
He thought the basket on him was hilarious.
The face plus the outfit was too much to ignore.

This is what I wake up to most days.
