Month: 8 - October 26, 2017

Height: No check this month!

Weight: From weighing him at home I think he is around 16 1/2lbs

Diaper Size: 3

Clothes Size: 9 Months

Sleep:  Same here as last month.  Goes to bed around 6:30 and does 12 or so hours.  Then sometimes goes back down for an hour or if he sleeps in a bit later, he is up until his morning nap.  He does 2 naps most days unless they run short, then we squeeze in that last 3rd one.  Still a great sleeper!

Eat:  4-5 bottles around 5-6oz.  Has 2 baby food "meals' and tons of baby snacks. This guy LOVES food.  This month I think I will introduce more real food and see how he does.  So far he has only had chopped up bananas and green beans.
 
 Likes:  Just our super happy, smiley guy who loves almost everything! Lately he really likes to be tickled and I swear is the most ticklish baby ever. He will just laugh and laugh!! It's funny because he won't laugh near as hard with Lance as he does for me. He also loves to chew on anything and everything.  He has something in his mouth at all times.. but still no teeth! He also still really loves to watch Tilly and laugh at everything she does. He is so fascinated with her.  And of course he is still a big ole mama's boy and loves to snuggle me! :)
 
 
 
 
Dislikes:  The Nose Frida.  Oh my!  He has another cold now thanks to big sis (who infested our whole house.. we're all sick!!) and I have had to suck his nose like crazy.  Poor guy is not a fan of mommy these days when he sees that thing coming!

 
 

Extra Updates:   We have had some big changes these past 2 days (which yes, did happen a few days after he turned 8 months but I'll go ahead and put it in this month).  He has been trying to crawl foooooorever and has been so close for weeks.  Yesterday all within 10 minutes he crawled for the first time and got into the sit up position on his own for the first time.  Apparently being sick makes him super baby!!   This month he also started saying "dada" on repeat allllll day long.  He thinks it's the funniest thing to say and thinks it is even funnier when you say it to him.  It's so funny to me he said dada first since the first few months he wasn't that big of a fan of Lance, haha! He sure does love his daddy now though!  Also, little man has such a head of hair! Oh my gosh, his locks are so luscious.  Probably this weekend Lance is going to give him his first hair cut.  So cute!  This past month he also had his first sleepover at grandma's (twice!) and let mommy and daddy have 2 kid free nights for the first time in forever, woohoo! Luckily he did great, minus waking up a bit earlier than normal for grandma!

He is still our sweet, snuggly little baby boy and is such a joy to be around.  He is such a trooper being drug all around and adapted so well to having to go with the flow a lot.  We love you so much little mini Lance! (I mean, how much does this guy look identical to his daddy?!?)
