Eleven Months

The basics?

Diapers - Size 3 or 4 but using cloth more and more
Clothing - 12-18 month
Food - Everything and anything!  Eating more regular foods every day.
Sleeping - Through the night!
Teeth - Ten chompers with two more coming
Words - ba ba, da da, ma ma
Favorite toy - Activity cube, anything he's not supposed to play with


Not much has changed with this little guy.  He's still wearing 12-18 month clothing.  He's still wearing size 4 diapers, although I did have to drop him to size 3 for a while because he was losing some weight.  He was having terrible diarrhea so I took away all adult foods for a while to see what his problem was.

We still aren't sure what is going on with him.  I stopped all dairy because I thought that was the problem but that's not it.  I'm thinking now that it's either just teething or the spices I'm cooking with are causing him problems.  He's definitely gaining weight again and is back in size 4 diapers when I use them but I mostly cloth diaper now. 

He generally sleeps 10-12 hours over night.  He wakes occasionally and cries but usually goes right back to sleep.  I think this is because of his molars.  He usually only naps once per day now.  It's generally a 2-3 hour nap in the middle of the day.

He's so close to walking!  He cruises non-stop, climbs on everything and has stood on his own a few times.  I said he'd be walking mid to end of August so we'll see.  I know he desperately wants to keep up with his sister so who knows!

He's going through a bit of separation anxiety right now.  He doesn't like to not see me.  If I go down into the basement to do laundry and close the door behind me, he literally sits at the door and cries until I come back.  You can't walk past him and not pick him up because that will just piss him off and cause a crying fit.

He throws tantrums like nothing I've ever seen before.  He does not like the word NO.  He wants to do what he wants to do.  Period.  He usually gets over himself pretty quickly but he certainly can tantrum with the best of them.

He is constantly saying da da and ma ma now.  I'm pretty sure he says ba ba and then waves as if to say bye bye but I'm not sure about that one.  He does open and close his hands to wave now.  He has said Ashlyn one or two times and he said Boom the other night.  I'm pretty sure he said Hi to his daddy as well.

 Little Dude, you are just so sweet!  You love to cuddle and Mommy just soaks it up!  You give serious hugs and you've even started given kisses.  They are usually open mouth kisses with a little tongue involved but they are still cute.

You are so much more curious than your sister ever was.  I LOVE to watch you explore and can't help but laugh at you most days.  You just want to see everything!

You love your sister.  Fiercely.  You look at her with such admiration.  You try so hard to keep up with her and I know you will be able to soon.  She is so sweet to you on most days and I really think the two of you are going to be the best of friends.
 
One more month until you turn a year old and that makes Mommy cry.  I can't believe you are already going to be a year old.  I'm not ready for toddler status yet!

  1. Aw I think it might be teething too. I SERIOUSLY cant believe he's going to be one in a month. I feel like he was just a newborn. UGH! They grow too fast and lol at his distaste for "no." Sounds like a Dylan! I love his happy disposition and teething champion nature. He is ADORABLE!

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
