17lbs (29th percentile)

27.5" long (73rd percentile)

     I was looking at Cannon this morning and realizing how much he's changed. He is growing out of his baby features so quickly and looks more and more like a little boy instead of my newborn. He may be getting bigger, but he's still as happy and snugly as he was those first weeks having him home.

     It is so fun to watch him grow and discover new things. And I love that he still has some of his old, funny quirks along with some new ones.

-When he's excited or being funny he will gasp then let out a sigh. This used to scare us because we thought he couldn't breathe...then we figured out he does it to get a reaction from us. Funny boy!

-Kicking, kicking, kicking! We have one active kiddo on our hands. My favorite kicks are when he kicks both his legs out straight and stiffens his whole body and squishes his face into a double chin.

-Sticking his thumb on his face (or on anything else) and waving his open hand back and forth (we call this the "flipper-flapper."

-Cannon loves playing with all kinds of things that arent his toys (isn't that just how it goes). :) When we hold him Cannon really loves playing with Mom's jewelry she wearing, or any drawstrings on our clothes.

- Lil man rolls over easily and is all over the floor. He hasn't showed much interest in crawling yet. He seems pretty happy with his mobility in rolling from one end of the room to the other.

- He can sit up unassisted for short time periods of time. We have to put up "bumpers" around him because he gets so busy playing he doesn't realize he's falling over until he hits the ground.
