    Dena October 30, 2015

    It’s been entirely too long since I’ve made an update about my sweet boy.

  • Questions on Eating & Sleeping

    Dena March 2, 2014

    How did you introduce solids? Also, does Roman sleep in his own room? And does he fall asleep during the night time feeding? Or do you put him back in bed drowsy? (As you might guess, I am trying to figure out the feeding and…

    Last week, we had Roman’s nine-month checkup. He is 31 inches tall (above the 95th percentile) and 22.5 pounds (in the 75th percentile). The doctor gave him a thorough check and he’s right on track as far as development goes. Bath time is his new…
