What's Whitt up to these days?!
-Well, we are having another sleep dilemma! You have been sleeping through the night for the past 2 months (after we ferberized you). But this past week, you have been waking up for a bottle. You are really snotty....and we are thinking you are having another growth spurt....so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt this week. After this week, it's back to the ole Ferber method if you aren't back to sleeping through the night!!! Before these recent shenanigans, you're normal night schedule was down for bed at 7 and up between 6 and 7. 1st nap: 9-10:30. 2nd nap: 1:00-3:00.
-You usually take about 5 bottles a day. You are eating 3 meals of stage 2 baby food. Mommy makes your food sometimes, too! It just depends on what is fresh and....if I've been to the grocery store! However, you are dying to eat table food. You took a big ole bite of my honey dew the other day and just chomped away. You love to lick our food and desperately try to take bites. Which brings me to the reason you are NOT eating table food....
-You still do not have one single tooth in your mouth....or even a hint of one! Hello teeth...are you in there?!?!?!
-You can wave (grandpa taught you how)
-You have moved up to a size 4 diaper.
-12 month clothes.
-You have been rocking back and forth for almost 3 weeks...but still not quite crawling. You know what to do with your hands and can scoot your knees about two times, but then you flop on your belly and "swim"!! You get really frustrated when you can't get somewhere. I thought for sure you would be crawling by 9 months, but I think it is going to take a few more weeks!
***Update: You decided that it was time to crawl! Right after your nap, I put you down in the living room....and away you went! Way to go, Whitters! Video to follow soon!***
-You are making all sorts of noises. The typical dadadada, dededede, babababa. I've heard the mamama, but not very often. You have the highest pitch scream in the whole entire world. I'm pretty sure you could shatter glass!
-You're still obsessed with your brother and think he is the funniest person ever. I'm pretty sure he feels the same about you. I love that y'all can keep each other entertained for long periods of time!
-You're starting to have some stranger danger and you LOVE your momma!!! If you're in "mommy" mood and I happen to walk away...total melt down! I have to admit, it's nice to be loved!
-Daddy can make you laugh almost as hard as Cooper can.
-You still have no desire to cuddle at all! Every once in a while you will rest your head on my shoulder and it makes me fall to pieces. But that's about all I get! You do love quick hugs and I kiss all over you whether you like it or not!! ; )
And here is my precious dimpled baby boy who absolutely lights up my world! Happy 9 months, Whitten!
And here is my other beautiful baby boy at 9 months! I know I say it all of the time...but they are oh so different...and I LOVE it!
