Jennifer, Thanks. The eating/low tone association makes sense to me as well, so I am doubtful that that is the issue here. He is literally almost 18 pounds and is not even 6 months old yet - wearing all 6-9 month clothes since 5 months old and some 12-month shirts now. He eats 4 8oz bottles a day as well as two solid food meals a day. I think it is my "fault" for not finding a way for him to have enough time to be on his belly/back and just learn how to do things for himself. Every time I would put him on the floor, his older brothers were literally on top of him, bringing him every toy and just making him giggle - he has been totally entertained since day one with little need to do anything for himself! I guess with me also trying to meet the MANY needs of my twins (Mommy, can I have...mommy I need to go potty...Mommy he hit me, etc.) my baby just hasn't gotten as much one on one attention from me as I would like. I think he will catch up, especially now that we blocked off part of the living room with a play yard so he can safely explore his surroundings. --Previous Message-- : My youngest son was botn with PRS and is so : very different from my oldest.
