Sleep: Oh my... every time I think we've got it figured out, you throw a curve ball. It's an every other night thing for you. You really do well going to bed around 7:00-7:30pm after your bath and eating. I still feed you around 11:00pm because I'm just afraid to switch you off of it and not know if you'll wake up crying angry and hunger with everyone in the house. Also, I get off work at 10:00pm, so it's just so convenient. You typically nap at 9:00-9:30 and sleep 1 to 2hrs. The rest of the day is so hit and miss since we coordinate with your brother's nap, and me dropping you off at sitter's houses. Thank you for being such a good baby even though you're not getting as much as sleep as you need and deserve!
Weight: At your last appointment you were just over 14lbs. Dr. Weipert says you're looking good ;)

Sitting in the big chair |
|
Chewing on everything |
Milestones: Well you are enjoying more tummy time these days (Hallelujah). You are sitting up by yourself a little better (but you still lose it and tumble). I think you might be cutting a tooth because you're drooly, whiny, not sleeping well, runny nose, fever, and you chew on everything. I just can't find the tooth that is probably coming through. You're eating lots of food now: oatmeal cereal, banana, yogurt, apple sauce, mushed potatoes, bread, apple juice, etc. And you just sat up in the counter booster chair at Grandma's for the first time ever! Oh and on a good day you like the Bumbo chair. Oh, and you sat on Santa's lap for your first Christmas season:)

Maddix asked to hold his brother |
Likes: You LOOOOVVVEE your toes! You love to talk talk talk to everybody now. You love poking your beety little eyes over the edge of the crib whenever you wake up, as well as having Maddix climb up on his ladder to say goodmorning to you ( you LOVE seeing him in the mornings). You are always proud of yourself after you roll over. You enjoy the Christmas lights and playing with the ornaments on the tree. I have had not problems in the past just letting you pull off the bottom nut cracker until the other night when you wrapped your little fingers around the lights and yanked the tree completely over (thankfully I caught it before it came down on you). You love your brother... I mean LOOVVEEE Maddix. He is by far your favorite and can get you going whenever he wants. And like your brother, you love your Nala. Lately you've been trying to roll all over her and grab her face... good luck Nala.

Holding hands with your puppy |
Dislikes: You don't like being put down when you're in the mood to be held. You're not a big fan of sitting in the bouncy chair or the gumbo for me (but you will for other ppl who watch you). You don't like bubbles in your tummy. I think you spit up more when you eat any bread. Sometimes you get angry if you wake up too early and it's not time to eat. And you definitely don't like being strapped into your carseat unless we're moving somewhere.

Bath time at G.Gma's house |
You are just too much fun. Everyone who watches you walks away saying you're the happiest baby. There isn't a single person that can't walk up to you and either say Hi, or smile, that you won't smile back to. My favorite is you'll give an initial smile, and then when you're in a certain mood you'll lock eyes with a person, tilt your head to the side, tuck your little chin into your neck, and break into an even bigger smile (if that's possible) as you look away. It's like you're being shy, or coy, oh it melts my heart!
