*For me and my memory...feel free to skip*
Weight / Length: 17 lbs 12 oz (26%) and 28 inches (81%). Head circumference is 45.1 cm (65%). He is wearing 6-9 month clothes and is in size 3 diapers. Measurements as of May 19th.

Eating: We are still breastfeeding (yeah!). He's getting proficient at solids. He has tried many little table bits and pieces. He has likes baby oatmeal, apples, carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches and banana so far. Only food he doesn't like is banana and favorites are carrots, green beans and apple. He will fuss and then cough to beg for food we are eating.
Milestones/Development: He's able to sit on his own for longer periods of time, usually falling over on purpose or due to excitement. He has started army crawling and can cruise the room pretty easily. This is quite the challenge with older sister's leaving things around the house that could be a hazard. Baby gate is up on the stairs. He babbles more and more...ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba syllables are coming out. He is developing a pincer grasp pretty good which has including pinching arms, face and neck (ouch! not a fan). Still not quite able to feed himself although he can pick things up.
Physical Therapy/Torticollis: We think this will be complete at our next appointment. He has reportedly been excellent and in normal range the last two appointments (over a month ago now) and our therapist only wanted to follow up if he were put in a helmet to make sure it didn't cause regression. Now that he's been in the helmet a couple weeks I can't see any regression so really hoping to be done with it.

Sleep: His sleep has been suffering with the helmet. He woke up 3 times between 9pm to 2 am last night. I am tired all over again. If he really starts freaking out I have taken the helmet off for the last few hours of the night. Hoping that he'll get used to being back home and with the helmet to sleep better.
Fun Memories (Outings/Events): We just returned from visiting my parents in Florida for a couple weeks. He loved it and loved them. He learned to army crawl in the house (luckily no stairs). He also loved the beach and water, playing with the sand with his feet and dipping toes and legs in the water. He was a good traveler and flyer as well with no major fuss. He is just a really smiley and happy baby.
Challenges: Being in the helmet and sleeping is the only real challenge. He really isn't bothered by the helmet but it does seem to throw off his sleep and naps a little (mostly just the night sleeping).
Likes/Dislikes: Despite being able to crawl and move more now he still seems frustrated by movement. He doesn't like it when his sisters run and play without him and he doesn't like it when you walk away from him into another room or just out of eyesight.
Looking Forward to: Looking forward to summer (kind of). Excited at the idea of going to park and splash pad but also realizing it's going to be hot and his helmet might become a bit of a burden to wear in the heat.
