Sean Patrick is ELEVEN months! Just one more month until he is a year old. Where does the time go? My little baby is becoming a boy. It took about 20 tries to get a picture this month. He's a wiggly little guy!
Height/Weight: I haven't had him weighed for a while, but I would guess he's close to 25lbs now. He had a growth spurt over the last month and is very long now too.
Other growth/actions: He is in 18mo clothes now, and I'm trying to get the last few weeks of winter to wear out of the 12mo things. 18mo pants are a little too long, but a small cuff is all we need while he's starting to get moving. He has 4 teeth now (2 bottom and 2 top), and is working on two more on top. The top ones have been the hardest for sure. Hopefully the top two coming in will be fast...he's miserable!
Routine: Up at 7am, first nap at 9 or 9:30am. He takes a 1.5 hour nap here, and then is up until 1:30pm. He then takes another 1.5 hour nap, and is up until 7:30pm. Because of daylight savings time and teething, this schedule has been a little wacky, but this is the general timeline of our day. He normally wakes at 3:30am and then for the day at 7, but the last few days he's been up every 2 hours. Mommy needs some sleep!
Eating/Feeding: We are starting to get into the rhythm of nursing every 3 hours, and I am increasing his solids at every meal. I also do a snack here and there. Again, with teething, this has been a little messy, because he doesn't always want to eat. But we try to offer him a variety of foods to get some 'real' foods eaten. He really loves puree pouches, which was not part of our plan, but I've learned to be more flexible. He will suck down a pouch but refuse all other foods, so I'll take it!
Milestones: SO MUCH!
He is starting to get brave and let go/stand unassisted for a few seconds. He uses all furniture to cruise around, and goes from one piece of furniture to another while letting go for a moment.
He says 'mama' and will repeat you if you say a simple word to him. We SWEAR he said 'bye grandma' when we hung up with Emily a couple of days ago! But of course he only said it once :)
He is becoming quite a little toddler, and that is complete with tantrums (on a small scale).
Stacking is a new skill, and he is so proud of himself if he can stack something and then knock it down!
He waves 'bye bye' and is starting to give people kisses when asked.
He can also pet the cat 'gentle' when reminded!
I don't get snuggles anymore, unless we are nursing. He has too much to do and too much to see!
Every day is a new discovery! We are so blessed to have such an amazing little man letting us see him change every day.
I am in denial that in a month he will be a year old. It CANT be! It was just yesterday that he was swimming inside of me and I was so ready to become a mommy. It's truly the best job ever!
