I cannot believe it but the youngest of the household is now 11 months old and a mere one month away from being a whole year. Oh.My.Goodness. Where has time gone???
I think it is safe to say that he's a growing boy seeing that he weighs almost 24 pounds and is about to outweigh his sissy. His new nickname should be Junk Food Junkie seeing that his favorite past time these days is to see how much of it he can eat. He is going through a phase where he is refusing any kind of fruit or vegetable. Today at lunch he made a weird, grunting, high pitched whine until I gave him a piece of my pizza, that he ate all of! He also loves gold fish, cheese balls, Oreo's, chicken nuggets, mum mums and thankfully, yogurt (a little nutritional value). I feel like such a terrible mom when I realize what his meals consist of. He drinks 3 eight ounce bottles a day and you can NOT let him see it before you are ready to give it to him unless you want him to lose his grip on life.
He is a pretty good sleeper these days though, knock on some wood for me, would ya? He is usually begging to go to sleep around 6:30 and wakes up with loud chirping ready for a new day sounds around 6:30 in the morning. He takes two naps a day usually one hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
He is STILL not moving, poor thing. He can now turn himself in all directions while sitting on the floor but remaining in the exact same spot. I'm hoping this laid back personality continues through out the rest of his childhood years to somewhat off set his big sister.:)
He loves his ninny at bed time along with all 3 lovies, to be rocked before bedtime, Lilly and her tail, long long baths that include lots of splashing, his sissy and all her toys, to watch the Polar Express, riding in the car and looking out the window, Baby Signs video and to sit in the little red car and hold on to the stirring wheel like he's driving. He hates his exersaucer, to take medicine and to have his diaper changed without a toy in hand to occupy his time. He is our ticklish, squishy, growing, smiling, loud talking/jabbering, blue eyed baby boy.....that won't be our baby much longer.
