Nearly 9 months

In the last post Adam wrote that Matthew is looking more and more like Hayden every day. Well over the last few weeks everyone is telling us he is nothing like Hayden! He is probably more like Sophie these days. He still has the dark eyes he has had since birth, and while his hair has lightened up quite a bit it is still brown...unlike Hayden who was blonde at this age.

Matthew is now into the solids, and on formula - stopped breastfeeding at about 7.5 months. He is a really happy baby and is now commando crawling around the house. Started lifting up onto hands and knees but hasn't quite worked out how to move from there. He is giving us a bit of grief by waking up at least twice during the night. Not sure what hapened to my good little sleeper I had early on. He is no longer being wrapped, and enjoys the freedom of being able to move around the cot. On night he always sleeps on his back, but during the day he has taken to this...



Measurements update (8 months);

Weight: 8.38kg Height: 69cm Head circumference: 46.7

Like his brother and sister he must have big brains as this puts him in the 90th percentile for head circumference. It also means his weight has dropped from the 75th percentile back to just above the 25th percentile - "just means he is in more proportion to his length" the nurse comments. Losing those chubby cheeks? You decide...
