Milestones:

11/13--Moved crib down to lowest level. Yep, the little booger is just getting too tall for his own good.

11/15--9th tooth (or 8th since the loss) & first molar appears, top left side.

11/18--Started saying eyes & nose.

11/18--Changed car seat to forward facing. (Judge away)

11/20--10th, bottom left-side & 11th top right side(barely) teeth break though

In Other News:

Nursing--Still going strong at 2x daily. We're still doing morning & bedtime with no sign of stopping. I'll take every extra second of snuggle time I can get. We're pushing on until at least 18 months as long as C wants to.

Food/WCM--It's been hit & miss lately, but with 3 new teeth coming in (& I'm sure a 4th right around the corner) I wouldn't expect anything less. I'm just happy if he eats SOMETHING lately. It's been a lot of fruit pouches & puffs around these parts the last few days. C is still not a fan of WCM in a sippy or cup. He will take a few sips & then be done with it. =( We've weaned down to 1 bottle a day while at my parents or with the ILs, but next week that will come to a complete end. There will be no more bottle round these parts before we hit 16 months.

Sleep--Can't complain honestly. My kid is a great sleeper for the most part (even with teething). He is sleeping about 12-13 hours straight through the night & takes one 1.5-3 hour nap usually around 11:30-12. Sometimes it ends up being later, but that really seems to throw him off for the rest of the day. We had a bad morning this AM, but otherwise it's been great.


Activities/Play--The kid is a wild man! He pretty much finds himself hilarious these days. His new favorite activities consist of shaking his head back & forth really fast, spinning in circles, walking backward & putting his head between his legs so that he can look around up-side-down. He loves to point out people's eyes, noses, mouths & bellies for them. He loves to play with the camera & having his picture taken. He even says "Cheese" perfectly every time. He also loves when Momma lets him help to do things that involve button pushing, especially the clothes dryer. He's still obsessed with the telephone & nothing makes him smile bigger then seeing something Thomas the Train related. He loves it so much he will even say "Thomas" now. He loves to be chased & bounced & jumped on his bed or our bed. He also dances to any music he hears playing & loves to "play drums" on anything that makes noise. He's big into his books right now & will sit on his floor & "read" to himself for long periods of time. He loves when Momma or Daddy reads to him, but he likes to turn the pages & be in control. He loves going to the library & he especially loves trying to make friends with other kids (they aren't always so receptive =( ). He loves to play with our dog, Jack & throw his toys/balls for him His other new favorite thing to do is wash his hands (we've been practicing this a lot lately).
