The Weigh In: Part Four

Truman had his 5th month check up this morning and he is weighing in at 7.21kg (just shy of 16lbs) and is 67cm, he is in the 80% percentile for height! I wonder if he is going to be tall? Truman is obsessed with putting his soother in and out of his mouth and he especially enjoys chewing on the ends.

Yesterday we bought Truman his high chair (as you can see in the picture). The high chair is so cool and comes with a DVD to show you the different seating options. So far he seems to enjoy being in it. I am sure he is ready to start solids at any time, but we'll be waiting until he is 6 moths to begin the fun!

Anya, Wolf and Joachim are safely back in Belgium. We had a lovely visit with them and Joachim is going to be greatly missed! Friday night we had another lovely dinner at Wawa and David's house with many guests who wanted to see the boys. Aunt Danka made a special trip to Toronto to meet the cousins. She is such a natural with children and both Truman and Joachim seem to really like her. Truman has been shortening our outings lately as he wants to be in bed by around 8 o'clock. He has slept through the night (without waking or wanting to be fed) for just over a week now. Jerry and I have so much free time on our hands we don't know what to do. We have rented a lot of movies and have been catching up on sleep ourselves!

Saturday, Truman and I met up with Misty for some shopping at the Eaton Center. Truman was in such a great mood and was having lots of fun being carried by Misty everywhere! Yesterday we went to the Sullivan's for Stephanie's birthday brunch. Stephanie looks great and the baby has popped...what a beautiful belly! It was great seeing the gang again and I hope Tim and Katie were not sick of all the baby talk! Uncle Scott helped Truman stand alone for the first time on Sunday...we are so proud of our little son!
