OMG... After filling the food dish twice today I decided to do a weight check. Add another 5 grams in only three days! Wow, is that cool or what?? Ok, so you know I had to take a picture. 
Looks like I caught him/her in mid-wave. I wish I knew how to sex these guys...

Wonderful! "He" is so lucky to get such a conscientious parent!
As for sexing them... it can be difficult at best, but give him/her some time to grow. By a year there are some ways to make educated guesses regarding their gender.
Good Job!

By that size he should be able to sex. Just turn him over and looks for pores in between the thighs. They are quite notible in males barely in females.

I looked for the pores earlier, nothing much to see. Maybe, female? This one seems kinda shy, hides a lot under the hot side hide. Doesn't mind hand feedings but doesn't want to be handled for very long, probably the cooler temps on the outside of the enclosure. I read that the temps shouldn't be more than 120 for juvies, it was 125-128 today. It didn't seem to matter much to my uro, still hung out under the hot hide. He/she ate a lot today, so I'm happy.
