I feel like I had a full workout after these pictures each month!
Month: 9 - November 26, 2017
Height: 26 3/4th - 3%
Weight: 17.2lbs - 10%
**Fun fact- Tilly was only 0.2oz bigger than this at a year! haha**
Diaper Size: 3 for daytime and 4 at night
Clothes Size: 9 Months
Sleep: He is just like his sister was as a baby with bedtime and is READY for bed at 6:30. He will sleep until 7-8am. 2 naps a day that average an hour to 2.5 hours.
Eat: 4 bottles and 2 meals. I am trying to find the balance to squeeze in a lunch as well around naps and bottles. He LOVES baby snacks and eats sooo much at his "meals". I am also starting to introduce more table food and get him used to textured food and chewing with his gums. He still has zero teeth and no signs of them coming!
Likes: I swear he is the happiest little baby. Ivor is just so content and smiley. He is still a big ole mama's boy for sure!
He also loves anything and everything he shouldn't. Anything plugged in (especially phone chargers), every tiny toy Tilly has, remotes, phones, etc.
Dislikes: Being in the car seat for long trips! We drove to VA for Thanksgiving, and while he does great in the car, the trip wears on him. For about a week or so after a long trip, he FREAKS when we go to put him in the car seat. Luckily as soon as he is buckled in, he stops. I feel so bad because it's like he thinks he's going to be stuck for a long time again. He also does not like to be sleepy. That is really the only time he cries! Oh, and he is starting to realize he doesn't like to be told no. Uh oh!
I thought this picture was hilarious. They both just got new PJs and I said, ok smile with your new PJs!! And I get this gem! haha!
Extra Updates: Since last month he finally started to say mama! Now he'll babble mama and dada all day long. He also is a turbo speed crawler and is ALL over the place. He has started to pull up, but mainly to his knees. He has only a few times pulled up all the way to standing, but I am sure that will be here very soon. One big difference (though there are many!) between baby Ivor and baby Tilly is the anxiety of strangers. Poor Tilly still to this day has very bad separation anxiety, but this little dude will let anyone hold him and be happy as a clam. I can't tell you how much easier this makes my life!! I don't know what I would do if I had 2 kids who were terrified of being away from me. I find this funny since he is wayyyy more of a mama's baby than she was. But.. he's funny. He'll do great with strangers until he sees me walk by or come in the room.. then he cries and wants me! haha He spent the night with my mom Saturday and was 100% fine. Then we Facetime'd to see him and as soon as he saw me on the screen, he started crying!! ha Silly boy!
He had many firsts this month.. Halloween, Thanksgiving, going to VA to meet a lot of Lance's family, and.. a first hair cut!!! He has SO much hair. I swear he looks like a toddler now after his haircut.. ah!
I know I say this all the time, but he is such a happy little baby. He sits and soaks in everything with the biggest grin on his face. I really can't believe that pretty soon he will be a YEAR! I know the holidays are going to fly by and it will be January before we know it, which means his birthday will be the next month. Ah! Life with 2 kids is crazy, exhausting and oh so fun..and this little man completed our family perfectly! We love you homeboy! (my nickname for him that Lance finds hilarious!)
