Sleeping solidly from ~7:30-6ish (usually on the 5:45 side of 6 these days though...) Typically taking 2 naps a day, the first around 9:30, sometimes 1.5 hours, sometimes 3.5hrs. The 2nd nap is usually around 2pm, but depends on how the 1st nap went ;)
Crawling all over the place, pulling yourself up to your knees and getting frustrated that you can't reach higher from your knees. (You're not getting yourself to a standing position on your own just yet)
You now own 2 pairs of your very own shoes, thanks to Grammy & PopPop! We went to Stride Rite this past weekend and could not get over how cute you looked in the little sneakers, oh my goodness. You had to have a pair of brown ones to go with your fancy outfits too.
Using Sophia's baby carriage as a walker with a 5lb weight in it. The other walking toys seem to move backwards too easily, but this one is slowed down with the weight and you're doing a great job cruising around the house with it! (You're confident enough in your masculinity to not care that it is a pink baby carriage ;) )
Giving lots of KISSES! Especially to your monkey blanket, you will pull the little monkey back far enough to view his whole face, then pull him close and kiss his face, pull him back to see his face, repeat. It is so cute because you're so gentle when you do it! Though you do usually end up biting his face after about 7 or 8 kisses. Warning to everyone getting kisses ;)
Clapping your hands excitedly over all sorts of things. You will see something out of the corner of your eye that you like and just start clapping and giggling.
LOVE reading books...you're starting to explore books other than Little Blue Truck now, though those are still your favorite. You do like to browse books on your own, but if I hold up a book and ask you if you want to read it with me, you will get very excited and crawl right over to my lap, I love it!
Have 7 teeth and seem to be working on a few more in the back...
Taking 3 bottles a day (just dropped from 4-5oz bottles to 3-6oz bottles this past weekend) 1 when you wake up, 1 in the early afternoon and 1 before bed.
We know you're supposed to be off of bottles and transitioning to milk around your 1st birthday so we are trying to time your bottles around the same time of day that you'd typically have milk! We just started giving you your nighttime bottle downstairs, to get away from the routine of having your bottle in your rocking chair in your room. Now we read you a book or two in your room before going to sleep!
Eating everything and wanting 2nds and 3rds at all 3 meals. Last week when you were getting another tooth and had your belly issues you didn't want to eat anything. Now you seem to be hungry ALL of the time. It almost seems like you're always in your chair having snacks!! You are still a huge fan of bread products (Freihofer's in your blood??), bananas, tomatoes, blueberries, on and on. You eat your veggies for the most part too...for now! You usually have breakfast around 7:30-8, lunch around noon, a snack around 3, another snack around 5 and dinner at 6. My goodness!
Still making us smile all of the time :) We love you so much buddy!
