Halfway to Two!

Happy Eighteen Months Buggy!

Weight: 27 lbs (On April 15)

Length: Haven't been able to measure him this month

Teeth sure like to take their time:

• Has all four molars
• Has a total of between eleven and thirteen teeth ( I can't get an accurate count without the piranha bite)
• The drooling has slowed down some so we may be waiting for the rest of them.

What's Sleep? :

• Went back to taking two naps of one to two hours during the day.
• This month has been hell between another ear infection on April 6 and April 15 and teething.
• I still get him in bed by 8. 
• If I'm lucky, he'll fall asleep within 10 minutes and wake up around 6:30 am. 
• If I'm not lucky (which this month I've been 85% UNlucky) he'll either fall asleep around midnight or he'll wake up a few times during the night. More often than not screaming his little heart out.
• Have had a minor set back with Binky but still working diligently on getting that thing out of my house...
• Will not sleep unless he has his soft Kansas City Chiefs blanket.

Who needs to Eat:

• Loves, loves, loves any and all fruit
• Is still somewhat of a picky eater and most of his meals end up on the floor.
• Has almost completely stopped eating table food and has fallen back on soft mushy foods like yogurt, oatmeal, and applesauce. It's a good thing that his Gerber Graduate Meals are soft and squishy...
• Loves using a straw whenever possible which has resulted in the introduction to juice boxes.

Who Talks Anymore:

• is still more Noise Machine than Talking Machine
• has started putting the few words that he does say together to make sentences (Lets go is his favorite phrase at the moment)
• Says "Mamamamamama" or "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad" when he wants out of his crib
• Hoping the latest antibiotics will kick the ear infections for good so we can get more vocabulary from him. I think know he's behind now...
• Favorite word to say is Dian (Dylan)! 

Dislikes:

• This month hasn't shown me much "new" dislikes other than his complete and utter disdain for ear infections. 
• He is disliking most foods that I'm feeding him (refer to his Eating section for more of those details)

Likes:

• C loves to jump. Whether it be on solid ground in a nice pile of leaves or his nice, bouncy bed.

• C just learned how to drive the Cadillac and loves to drive his brother around.

• C loves trucks, trucks, and more trucks.

 

• C loves his baby cousin Z and can't wait to actually see his other cousins M&M. They've met, but the girls stayed in their stroller most of the time since they were asleep.

• C loves to dance on tables.

• C loves to blow raspberries. 

• C loves to play video games with his brother (no I don't let him do it all that often, he'd still rather play outside).

• C loves to climb on things that he really shouldn't, especially the ladders in the backyard. One handed makes it extra fun. 

• C loves to try and open doors, any doors, with Daddy's keys. 

• C loves to help in the garden, especially when I let him use his own shovel. 

• C loves picking dandelions and weeds flowers for Mommy 

My poor Buggy I'm so sorry this past month has been so hard for you. I hope that this next month brings lots of changes for the better! 

I love you Sweet Cheeks <3
