do you have any general issues/struggles lately? Naps are still hit or miss. He has a stomach bug right now, which is miserable.

tell me about sleep! I hate to jinx it, but he tends to go to bed between 6:30-7pm and wake up between 5:30-6:30am. he goes down awake for bedtime & all naps which is amazing! naps can be a little hit or miss in terms of length, but overall pretty good. thank goodness for Dr. Ferber!

favorite food? least favorite? any struggles with feeding? favorite - blueberries, cheese, banana pancakes. not a fan of watermelon or peaches, but more for us!

latest milestone achieved: our nanny just texted me to say he crawled up some stairs this morning.

favorite activity: playing with/throwing balls, "reading" books (aka handing us a book and then insisting on turning the pages), the water table. and waving!

what milestones are you looking forward to? walking and talking more!

do you have any general issues/struggles lately? he's a bit whiny as he's cutting some top teeth. I can't even imagine how annoying the whining will continue to get!

lastly - does anyone else actually MISS the newborn days? yes and no. I miss the snuggles and how tiny he is, but I love the things he can do now - like wave bye bye when I leave the house or play with my ponytail while I nurse him before bed

birth weight/height and current weight/height:6lb 6oz 19in; now about 21.5lb, not sure about height, i'd guess 28.5 in

clothing size:12-18mo!

diaper size:4

tell me about sleep! great night sleeper (7:30-7am), naps are pretty good, usually 9-11am, 2-4pm at home. daycare naps are iffy. maybe 1 hr at most around noon!

favorite food? least favorite? any struggles with feeding? fruit, any kind! least fav is veggies, just like mama. he's starting to drop his food on the floor alot. we have dogs so i think he thinks its a game as well. so we take him down when he starts doing that. but then i'm always worried he didn't eat enough.

latest milestone achieved: i think he says mama and more! and signing more as well! and he just started regular crawling (was army crawling since 7 months but finally got his tummy off the ground). i don't see him walking for a couple months at least.

favorite activity: listening and dancing to music! whenever his daddy plays guitar he crawls as fast as he can over there and bobs his head as he crawls!

what milestones are you looking forward to? walking!!! this guy is getting heavy and squirmy.

do you have any general issues/struggles lately? nothing really.. hes starting to get stranger anxiety and always wants mama. its not too bad but hopefully it doesn't get worse! he's also getting hard at restaurants and out.we have to make sure he's been fed and that hes not tired or else meltdown!

lastly - does anyone else actually MISS the newborn days? how tiny they are! the newborn snuggles! how easy it is to take them anywhere and everywhere.

Oh yay! Hey Baby mamas, hey! I am going to update here when I can copy/paste the Qs( ie not on my phone). Woot!

birth weight/height: 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long
current weight/height: 23-24 lbs, height at 9 month appt was 28.3 inches
clothing size: 12 month
diaper size: 3-4
tell me about sleep! He sleeps through the night for the most part. Sometimes we hear him talking to himself but he goes back to sleep. We shoot for 2 naps at home but sometimes he will only go down for 1. Naps at daycare are definitely shorter and less often. The daycare just told me to try to get rid of his 9:30 morning nap. We'll see how that goes.
favorite food? blueberries, yogurt, and shredded chicken least favorite? peas
any struggles with feeding? he only became interested in finger foods in the past 2 weeks or so. I am going to try and see if his allergic to peanuts in the next week or 2 - kind of dreading doing that but we need to see what happens.
latest milestone achieved:comfortably eating finger foods; he tried to crawl up the stairs once a few weeks ago
favorite activity: crawling, pulling himself up, dropping books on the floor and playing with them
what milestones are you looking forward to? talking and walking and weaning from BM - the goal with pumping is to make it to a year. I am ready to part ways with the pump even though it is bittersweet.
do you have any general issues/struggles lately? not really - he is not a fan of changing into his pjs at night but it's not too bad.
lastly - does anyone else actually MISS the newborn days? at times -we got to watch him more closely to make sure he does not get into any trouble. We use his first bath tub (provided by the hospital) to wash his bottles so we reminisce about the early days of bathing him often - crazy to think he fit into that little tub!
