He loves photos, don't let him lie to you.
New things: clapping-ish. Yesterday I would have told you he didn't. But he did it today randomly. Maybe I'm confusing him with the sign for "more" food. / / Waves-ish. Same thing. / / He can drink from a straw, but he really isn't great with a sippy cup still. He just lets it all fall back out his mouth unless it's root beer. Unfortunately, root beer and twizzlers he is somehow expert at. We never see him get excited about anything more than a can of root beer. It slays me. / / He gave up his pacifier which sucks for me. Ever since last week he has been more irritable and harder to console without nursing him. I believe it started due to his stuffiness but even when he could breathe he wanted nothing to do with it. So random. I wish he would fall in love with a blanket. / / he discovered the toilet paper roll / / he started screaming more for attention / / he shakes his head we think as a way of dancing to music...but who knows because music isn't always on
He seems to be moving the same. Loves to walk when you hold his hands up, but doesn't balance yet with one hand. He is still pretty cautious when moving along things standing up, but he does try. He would climb stairs if we let him. / / babbles about the same when in the mood. still mostly a grunter. He also still bites a ton but we haven't seen any new teeth. Just felt the pain...
HE LOVES baths, sleeping ON mom, laughing at his sister, being held by anyone, going through my desk drawers, playing with toys - I was surprised to see him put the car on the track and watch it go down or fight with the light saber. HE LOVES TO EAT cheerios (his fine motor skills are impressive), bananas, apples (once Lexi is done eating), chicken, grains, goldfish, strawberry puree / / he is a little random with food as in one day he is fine, the next day not. He will spit something out if he sees something he wants more. He is well aware of what we're eating. I'm nervous about his lack of desire to wean though.
The first time he got aggressive with the bear.
And as far as SLEEP. I'm not sure if the night cough ever went away. The day cough wasn't away long enough. He stands up in his crib now and I have yet let him scream long enough to see him sit back down. Typically he goes down around 8 PM and wakes around 2-3 AM where he stands up. I'll go in about 20-30 min and lay him back down hoping he is too exhausted to stand back up and he'll go back to sleep. Once he got sick I became a little more of a sucker and just fed him a little. Then he wakes up around 6-7 AM and comes to bed with us (I feed him) and then is up around 8-8:30 for the day. It's still kinda sucky, but better for him. Bedtime is usually fine, but it isn't like I can just lay him down awake. Gosh I forget most kids work that way. He's fed & rocked asleep and half the time stays that way, the other half I have to rub his back and sh sh him back to sleep. Such a princess. NAPS were terrible for a long time. We usually get about 2 hours worth during the day. 11-1230 and another half our later on. It is so rare to see him nap on his own for more than 30 min, but those golden naps have occurred.
So although a little more needy this month. He is still precious. I just have a strained bicep muscle on my left side. His weight still isn't balanced with his height, but we did move up to the 18 month sleepers.
He was ruining her party.
I love that smile, dirty as it is.
