Eating: We transitioned from 5 4oz bottles a day to 4 6oz bottles a day. It seems to be working just fine. He always eats breakfast and dinner. Most days he has a little lunch, but we're not as consistent with this. Mostly just when he acts hungry. I know he's still getting plenty of nutrition from the bottles, so I'm not to worried about it. For breakfast he has some combination of oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, banana, and cheerios. Lunch is usually some leftover yogurt, a jar of baby food, or a banana. Dinner is 2 jars of baby food and something crunchy (cheerios, puffs, graham cracker). I'm trying to get him more used to using a sippy cup with water and he seems to do better with it - he actually swallows the water instead of spitting it out.
Sleeping: He is still taking 2-3 naps a day for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours each. It's pretty inconsistent on how long or when he naps. He also usually naps in someone's arms, his chair, or his carseat. He's not a fan of the crib for naps. But, at night he does amazing. I've been starting to get him ready for bed about 7:45 or 8:00 and he's usually asleep by 8:30 or 9:00 and will sleep anywhere from 7-9.
Other Cool Stuff: He's crawling all over the place. It amazes me how quickly he can go from flat on his back to his belly to all fours and then on the go! He pulls up on the couch and us. He will walk still just with us holding both hands. We tried to see if he would at least stand with just one hand, but he immediately starts wobbling.
He's getting to be more expressive and opinionated. He knows when he wants something and usually doesn't want to wait - like for his food. He screams and yells and bangs on the tray until the food is going in his mouth. He cries when we take something away from him that he doesn't need. He smiles and laughs and gets so excited at the most random things. Like us blowing in his face or barking like a dog.
He has tons of toys but seems to prefer climbing on us or finding Jere's toys the most.
We've had to introduce the word "no" and he just looks at us like we're insane and then smiles super big.
He gets super excited and flaps his arms around and then likes to smack you in the face. Not cool.
He can hold his own bottle like a pro and for the most part, prefers to do it himself now.
He's babbling still with lots of various sounds at various volumes.
And for a few pics from the last month...
