So, as you can see, Ford was a bigger baby than John
Brantley is. He was such a happy little
guy at the doctor’s office. He crinkled
the paper, squealed, kicked, helped the nurse, licked the doctor etc. Then tragedy struck and stuck him 3 times in
the legs and he went to yelling! He was
a trooper and his juice helped to calm him down. I can’t stand shot days! It breaks my heart.
Where is John Brantley???!!!???
Some John Brantley facts…
John Brantley was born on June 13. He weighed 8.12 lbs. and has since gained 7.9
lbs.
He still can’t crawl.
He will get up in the crawling position, but can’t seem to get on his
knees to start moving. HOWEVER, you can
move. I like to refer to him and a
bowling ball because he rolls all over the place.
He doesn’t have any teeth, but he drools and attempts to
chew on anything he can reach. He is
like a vulture. He attacks anything he
can grab and will eat it. He broke
Puddin’s necklace yesterday.
He rarely wears shoes.
He can take his shoes and socks off faster than anything I have ever
seen. It’s almost a hopeless
situation. I can’t seem to find any
socks that he can’t rip off.
He sleeps in footed pajamas.
I prefer the zipper kind, but we do have some that snap. My little Houdini can figure out how to get
his feet out of those too.
He gets upset when he’s hungry, tired, or if you put clothes
on him. He gets ticked when I have to
get him dressed. He especially hates for
things to go over his head.
I have started giving him Puffs to snack on. I tear them into about 6 pieces. He loves them. He has also had Cherrios torn into little
pieces and has sucked on a lemon. Other
than that he has only had baby food.
He is somewhat of a thumb sucker. He won’t have anything to do with a pacifier
and quite frankly, I am glad. Ford had
one until he was over 3 years old.
He wears a size 3 diapers, Luvs. He is in 6-9 month clothes.
He has beautiful blue eyes.
When he gets tired he rubs his eyes, nose, and ears.
A lot of his brown hair has fallen out. It’s growing back blonde.
His nicknames from Ford and me include: Toto, Buddy, Bitty, Big Stuff, Toots, and
Little Dude
He has never been sick.
He has never spent the night away from me. He has slept in his baby bed since he got
home from the hospital.
We have been practicing sitting up. He can stay there a few seconds and then he
topples over. He’s a little top heavy.
He loves Delta. He
watches her whenever she is in the room.
Fortunately, she is the most gentle dog that God ever created and allows
John Brantley to grab handfuls of her hair without barking at him.
Ford and John Brantley are able to play a little bit
now. He is so happy when Ford gets down
on the floor and loves on him.
John Brantley is spoiled.
He basically only has to squeak and I run and pick him up. It’s hard to get stuff done around the house
while I have him on my hip, but I love it.
He likes being outside.
He loves to drink water from my cup.
He smiles while he has a bath. He
will sleep in the car.
He is still breast fed and doesn’t like a bottle.
He doesn’t sleep through the night. I think it’s more of a habit that he is
waking up rather than him being hungry.
His schedule usually is as follows:
5:30 Wake up and eat
6:30 Oatmeal
8:00 Eat and nap
10:30 Eat… usually he doesn’t eat well at this feeding
1:00 Eat and nap
4:00 Eat… he doesn’t eat good at this feeding either
6:00 Rice cereal mixed with ½ a fruit and he eats ½ a vegetable
7:00 Eat and bedtime
6:30 Oatmeal
8:00 Eat and nap
10:30 Eat… usually he doesn’t eat well at this feeding
1:00 Eat and nap
4:00 Eat… he doesn’t eat good at this feeding either
6:00 Rice cereal mixed with ½ a fruit and he eats ½ a vegetable
7:00 Eat and bedtime
Compare……
