at the doctor

Clothing: 12 months

Diapers: Size 3 Pampers Cruisers & Size 3 Huggies Nighttime Protection- end of month starting to wear size 4 at night

Eats: He is down to 3 meals a day, two snacks, and 4-5 bottles of soy milk. He eats breakfast around 8:30 which is yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, etc. He then eats a 6 ounce bottle. He has a snack at 10ish which is normally cereal of some sort, puffs, yogurt puffs, or yogurt (if he didn’t eat it with breakfast). Lunch is around 12:30 where he eats cheese, crackers, a veggie and a fruit. He follows lunch with a 4-5 ounce bottle. Snack time around 3- same snack as morning- I try to change it up each day. Juice & Water is in a sippy cup all day. Dinner is between 5:30-6. Depends on what we are eating he will eat what we eat. He really likes beef and chicken. He is not so keen on veggies- but we are trying. If we are eating something he can’t eat (no milk for him) he will have ravioli, mac and cheese, veggie/fruit cup. He then has a 5 ounce bottle. Before he goes to bed he gets one last 6 ounce bottle to help him drift away to sleep. *good news*- he can eat cheese and yogurt, hoping this means his allergy is slowly but surely going away. He still can’t handle certain things that have milk in them but I’ll take anything I can get. I am so happy he can have cheese and yogurt cause he LOVES both!

Sleeping: If Justin is leaving for work, he wakes up when Justin locks the door around 7:15-7:30- if Justin isn’t going to work he will sleep till 8:15ish. So nice. He takes a morning nap around 11 and has been sleeping a lot longer this month. I think it is because he is on the move all day so he passes out when he does go to sleep. He has been sleeping from 11-1 most days, at least until 12:30. He takes his afternoon nap around 3 and sleeps between an hour and an hour and a half. It really depends on what we have done that day. Then he goes to bed at 8 and sleeps thru the night. However, I am still putting him to sleep in our bed and then when we go to bed Justin moves him to his crib. When Justin moves him- he just lays down and goes right back to sleep. I love him sleeping 8pm-8am. I know it could go away at any moment so I am soaking up all the good nights sleep I can get!

Emptying the toy basket

Playing in the dog food

Pulling up on everything

Swings at the park

New Favorites:

Walking along the couch or with walker (see Walking post)

Petting Pip—he has always loved Pip but now he likes to pet him- he goes over to him and rubs his hand along his back- only pulling on him half the time (haha)

He thinks anyone coughing or crying is hilarious. Terrible I know- but he just thinks it’s so funny

Melissa & Doug Truck Puzzle- I put it back together EVERY night. Every morning- he dumps it over and carries a different truck around all day long.

Going to sleep on my head

Dislikes:

falling and hitting his head- he crawled over his walker and fell into the tile- hard- he had quite the little knot- I watched him for signs of concussion- he was fine but I still worried

green peas & really starting to dislike all Stage 2 Baby Food or being fed at all- he wants to do it
changing clothes or diapers (tries to roll off changing table)—OMG this has gotten really bad. We have been at our wits end when it comes to this. It has been ridiculous.

sitting still (picture taking is getting difficult)

cleaning his runny nose

being in his high chair (see photo above of him fussying in his high chair)

Firsts & Events:
January was a pretty chill month. Lets see…

Not a first- but had his 2^nd ear infection- poor bubby- he did NOT like his medicine- wonder it worked considering half of it always came out

January 15: said Mama for the first time (crying in his crib for me to come get him- but I’ll take it)

Moved to “Crawler” room at church nursery- sad day for mama but you love it- you get to ride in a buggy, have indoor play, go to music class- you always take a great nap on Tuesday & Thursdays after bible study and MOPS.

Still no teeth, Saw your Great Grandma Hardy, swung at the park LOTS, follow me everywhere, took really good naps

Still make this mama the happiest I have ever been- we have so much fun every day and I can’t imagine myself doing anything else other than being a stay at home mama to my sweet baby boy. I am so blessed.
