Talk about growing pains!

5.5 inches...5 1/2"...13.97cm

Ya, that's how much my "little" G-man has grown in the 3 months since he was born! That cannot be comfortable! Couple that with a brain that is making all sorts of synaptic connections and eyes that are developing and muscles that are strengthening and it's no wonder my little man has had bouts of fussiness. I wonder if babies get headaches from all the brain growth and developement happening in there? Did you know that the brain grows to half of its final adult size by the age of six months? Amazing stuff. And of course, I am feeling the pressure to expose my child to all the right things to properly stimulate (without overstimulating) and encourage growth and balance.

So, when G-man was born he was 19.25" long and weighed 6 pounds. He was in the 3rd% for size. Yup, he was a tiny peanut! (granted, he was 3 weeks early). Now at 24.75" long he is close to the 60% for height! We will have to wait until next month at his pediatric appointment to see what his weight is.
