20 weeks old

Junior hit the big 2-0 this week.  We're still trying to figure out Junior's sleep schedule.  Over the weekend, he magically slept 8 hours straight.  It hasn't been repeated though.  We tried making him tired, but that just made him cranky.  We tried having him take enough naps during the day, but that makes him want to play at 2am.   Now we're thinking he's afraid of the dark, so we're shopping for night lights.

Grandauntie BL went shopping for Junior this weekend and scored some nice deals on some clothes and toys.  Since he can no longer get hand-me-downs from his cousin (they're practically the same size now), she bought some cute outfits.  He really likes the turtle seat she bought for him.  He's not big or strong enough to use it on his own, but he enjoys sitting on it nonetheless.  We think he kinda looks like the turtle too.

He hasn't made too much progress with rolling over.  We thought maybe he was starting to get the hang of it a few weeks ago, but he really hasn't rolled over on his own since.  The doc said she isn't surprised he's not rolling over yet.  Apparently big babies take longer to master that skill.  Makes sense.  Extra fat makes it harder to move.

He's also entered the squealing phase of infancy recently.  Whether it's squealing for joy or yelling to be picked up, the sounds he makes are SUPER LOUD.  He doesn't usually cry anymore (unless he's being put down for naps or bed).  He will instead voice his dissatisfaction by "screaming like a pterodactyl" as auntie puts it.   When he's really excited about something, he'll let out a high pitched squeal loud enough to make the neighborhood dogs bark.  Hopefully it's just a phase and not a permanent form of communication for him.

Last weekend we went to get dimsum with cousin and family.  He was pretty well behaved and even slept in the loud Chinese restaurant.
