Godzooky 3 Update

It's been 3 and a half months since he made his appearance, and things are going well so far. Mrs Zilla is taking him to baby massage, so we get lots of opportunity to compare our situation with his peers. Obviously we have an edge, with him being our third, over the first time parents, as you never know enough first time around. There's a pretty steep learning curve with children. Godzooky 3 has now started sleeping through - which is a very welcome bonus. We didn't sleep train Godzooky 1, (hell, we didn't even know what sleep training was) but he was pretty good at sleeping anyway - still is in fact. With Godzooky 2 we introduced sleep training, and it only took a couple of nights for her to settle down. So with our success we tried it even earlier with Godzooky 3 and he has taken to it like a dream. He's far happier for getting a good night's rest, and so are we. He's the only one at baby massage who is sleeping through, but then he's also taking the most amount of milk with each feed - 9oz at the moment. Consequently he's also the biggest baby there, and is not far off doubling his birth weight, he currently tips the scales at 15lbs 4oz. The target for doubling birth weight is 6 months, so he's doing pretty well. Unfortunately this does mean that he's getting too big for a lot of clothes. He's been in the 3 to 6 month size for about a month now, and there is no way they're going to fit him at 6 months. We've reached that stage now where he's becoming more aware of his surroundings and there are real responses being shown. When you get eye contact with him now, you're rewarded with a lovely gummy smile. He's also discovered the pleasure of tickling, and has quite a disturbingly deep laugh. Here he is in his currently glory, the chubby cheeked monster:
