6 Months of Dayton

My poor neglected blog. I have had zero time. I really shouldn't even be blogging now because there's ALWAYS homework to be done, but both kids are napping and I am already 2 monthly posts behind…
Dayton's Measurements:
Birth: 7 lbs. 6.2 oz., 20" long, 13" head, 13" chest
6 days old: 7 lbs. 2.5 oz., 20 1/2" long

4 Months of Dayton

I am so behind on blogging!! Dayton just turned 5 months old and I am just now doing his 4 month post. Such is life with a baby and toddler. ;)
Let me just say that I LOVE having a little boy!!!! Dayton melts my heart like I never believed possible. Check out his picture and you'll easily see why. :)

Dayton's Measurements:
Birth: 7 lbs. 6.2 oz., 20" long, 13" head, 13"chest
6 days old: 7 lbs. 2.5 oz., 20 1/2" long
2 weeks old: 7 lbs. 14.5 oz., 20 1/2" long, 14" head
1 month old: 9 lbs. 6 oz., 21 1/2" long, 15 1/2" head
2 months old: 12 lbs. 1.5 oz., 23 1/4" long, 15 3/4" head
4 months old: 14 lbs. 5.5 oz., 24 3/4" long, 16 1/2" head

This boy has grown a ton!!! In only 4 months he has doubled his birthweight and grown almost 5 inches! Not to mention he's got a big head ;) He's right at 50th percentile for all of his measurements…weight is closer to 40th percentile, but he's still a big boy!

Look at this cutie!!!

Dayton's 1st Easter was March 31st! He dressed up in a cute sweater vest! And he got his picture made with the Easter Bunny!

Dayton attended Sawyer's 2nd birthday party on April 13th! He loved celebrating with her by wearing his Elmo onesie :)

I cannot believe the growth from 1 to 4 months. Crazy.
 Dayton got his first fever after his 4 month shots - it was about 101 degrees…I gave him some baby Tylenol and he got some extra snuggles and then felt better. :)
