Today was Sebastian's follow up visit with the developmental pediatrician. She basically goes through all those gross motor skills / age appropriate behaviors to see where Sebastian is performing. The doctor scored him at 5 1/2 months, which is right on for his corrected age. She was very pleased with the progress he has made and gave us some exercises to work on that will help promote crawling. He still has some stiff muscles in his legs that needs to be worked out in order to crawl and his back strength needs work, but overall she was very pleased. Growth wise he is still just below the 5th percentile for his corrected age, so he has more growing to do, but he's getting there. He should be around 14lbs at this point and he is weighing about 12lbs, 9oz and measuring about 24 inches long (which is double his length at birth!) I guess we know what Sebastian and I will be doing the next few weeks as Tyler heads off to preschool.
On a side note, we started the rice cereal on Saturday and Sebastian slept for 12 hours that night!! I woke up at 6am in a panic because he hadn't gotten up to eat. I went in to check on him and he was still sleeping peacefully. He did that again on Sunday night. I got my first full night sleep in quite some time. Yeah for rice cereal!!!
