Sept 21st - Reuben weighs 17.77 pounds. He's gained 1 pound in the last 3 weeks! He has a healthy appetite and has grown approximately 1 inch since we last checked, so he's up to 2 feet 4 inches tall. He's not crazy about drinkiing out of a baby bottle but seems to enjoy his Sipster cup. In the last week, he's started to take more steps and be more confident in standing and moving around. He's learned how to go up and down the stairs and say words like "Dad, Mum, Hi, Bye, Up, Down, Zia, Oh-Oh" etc., and absolutely loves to dance and sway to music. His hair has started growing in so he's startng to look less like a baby monkey. Actually his hair has gotten quite long and is considered a mullet by most. Due to the large soft spot, we've held back from shaving his head. The soft spot is finally starting to grow in, so it's just a matter of time.
