Anyway, on to more important things. Ford now weighs 17 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches long. He is a mere one pound away from what Olivia weighed at 1 year old. He is in size 2 diapers (should be in size 3 but we have a ton of 2's left so we're being budget friendly). He is wearing 6-9 month clothes and 9 month pajamas. He nurses every 3 hours during the day and can go anywhere from 7-10 hours at night. He goes to bed every night around 7-7:30 and wakes up anywhere from 6:30-7:30 in the morning. He also takes about 4 naps a day. He LOVES a routine so that is exactly what we have him on.
He has grown physically but also his personality has developed a ton over the last month. He wakes up in the morning with the sweetest grin and the loudest cooing as if he is saying "good morning, everyone". He will smile and laugh at just about anything and is a VERY ticklish baby. He LOVES his lovies, ninny, activity gyms, his bumbo seat, a good, warm bath with his sister, to be pushed in the stroller and rocking before bedtime. He is also chewing on his hands like crazy so maybe we'll see a tooth before much longer. He has tried rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and pears. The only one he actually tolerates are the pears but it's a work in progress. He is such a sweet, laid back baby. Not sure what we would do without this Big Boy.
I hear my duckling #2 cooing so he must be waking from his nap and calling me. Gotta go. Until next time....maybe 6 months will seem like an eternity away....
