Weight: 22 lbs
Height: not sure
Eyes: blue
Hair: light brown. Curls in the back. Its getting pretty long now.
Wearing 9 or 12 months onesies and 12 month pants. 12 month jammies.
Sleep: about the same as last month except often going down earlier. Closer to 7. He still has the aweful cough which is definitely disturbing his sleep. He is often awake for 2 hr stretches. The lucky times when he doesnt fully wake, he is super restless. He wakes between 6-7. Sometimes happy. Most often not. Naps are between 45-2 hrs. Twice a day. Now that he has learned to sit up it is more difficult to get him down. He constantly tries to sit up.
Food: 3 meals a day plus four 7 oz bottles. He has oatmeal and fruit or yogurt and toast. Lunch is either soup, grilled cheese, eggs or ham and cheese. Plus veg and fruit. Dinner may be what we are having or meatballs, pasta or ham. Plus barley cereal, veg and fruit. He loves avocado and eggs. He isnt a huge fun of chopped veggies. He prefers them pureed. When he is tired he doesnt like to eat chunky food. He is lazy :). He has just now started to put some food in his mouth. Cheerios, crackers etc. but bread he will just tear up. Lol. Now he is starting to put everything in his mouth! This is a new development too.
Still just has the two bottom teeth and one top tooth
Still seems to have some gas issues. Is often quite squirmy in the early mornings or middle of the night.
Has just started to crawl! He just recently learned to push up into a sit from his belly and this gave him the courage to go on his belly more. For the longest time he would go on his knees but not move. But now he is on the go. Very slowly :). With lots of breaks. Lazy baby! :). He also likes to keep one foot on the ground as he crawls. It is rather funny to watch. Now I need to finish baby proofing! He is also starting to try to pull himself up on things. Actually, this evening he crawled over to me and was pulling on my pants. And all of a sudden he was standing against me! Crazy! This kid is going to be trouble!! He is already starting to get angry when he doesnt get what he wants and now that crawling is happening as well as pulling himself up, im going to have to watch him all the time.
He babbles when he wants to. Sometimes he talks forever and then he goes a while without saying much
He loves to pick up anything and bang it on the floor. He will move himself off the carpet to get to the floor.
He still loves water and has finally learned to drink from a sippy on his own. But has a hard time when it isnt full enough. He prefers drinking from our cups though. Still loves the dish set. He loves his activity table because he can stand up. Loves his shape sorter. Is starting to like cars. He loves chairs, bath time, and books. Loves books! He wont even drink his bottle if he sees a book. His favourites are Sniff, good night moon, but not the hippopotamus, and baby boo.
He still hates getting his arms in clothes or car sear. And sleep. Lol. Everything else, he is pretty easy going about.
Overall this kid is just so darn happy! Must take after his dad. For some one who really gets very little sleep, he is just so happy! Everyone comments on how smiley he is. Everyone in public loves him. He will stare at a stranger and make little noises until they look at him. Then he will flirt with them!
He gets sooo excited when he sees gramma M and grampa B!
This horrible cough still hasnt gone away. Pediatrician thinks possible whooping cough, or athsma. Got a chest xray (again) at the hospital. And is now back on puffers and antiobiotics. His cough does seem better tonight. Is also waiting on a referral to an allergist (peanut worry) and an ENT doc. This kids chart is huge!!)
Anyway, I say this all the time but he really is just the best. Everyday he does something new!
