Weight: 17 lb 2 oz

Eating: He usually has a bottle between 5:30-6:30, 2 at day care, and more at home. He's also eating 2-3 baby food jars each day depending how the timing at day care.

On weekends I feed him breakfast (cereal/oatmeal), lunch (some sort of veggie or fruit) and then dinner (some sort of meat mixture).

Bedtime: Still shooting for anywhere between 7-7:30. He'd go to bed before if I'd let him, but he'd be up that much earlier.

Awake: He is FINALLY sleeping through the night!
He usually wakes up around 5:30 and during the week, we just get up and get going.
On the weekends though, he wakes up at 5:30, I give him a bottle, and then he'll sleep for about an hour or hour and a half.

Naps: He's taking 2 decent naps a day now, one morning and one afternoon. Sometimes they're only 45 minutes like normal, but I'm getting more hour+ naps from him now too. Yay!

Diapers: He's still in 3, but I swear he could probably wear 4s.

Clothes: Mostly 9 mos. Even 9 month pants fit him for the most part. Onesies I've been buying in 12 mo in hopes that they'll fit him longer than a month.
I feel like we skipped 6 month clothes. Even 6-9 is too small now. So it's all 9+.

Favorites: He loves Emi so much. He thinks everything she does is hilarious even when I think it's super annoying. It's impossible to feed him when she's running around, because he wants to watch whatever she's doing.
He loves eating his feet, especially if he's wearing socks.
He likes being on the floor with toys.

Dislikes: He hates socks. They last a whole 2 minutes before they're off and in his mouth.

He also caught a bacterial infection that is in the strep family so he had to take another round of antibiotics. He can't catch a break.

The day after he turned 6 months, he took a hard tumble. We were getting our last diaper change and heading to bed. While he was on the dresser, I was digging in the drawer looking for Vicks because his cough had come back. He kept trying to roll over so I strapped him in. He got frustrated with me for not letting him roll over so he launched himself off the dresser even though I was standing right next to him. We took him to the ER because he was acting strange, couldn't stay awake, and started violently throwing up.

They did a CT which came back clean. After being in the ER about an hour, he started acting completely normal again. The next day we had to follow concussion norms and watch for strange behavior so I stayed home with him. Scariest night EVER!!
He also had another ear infection she we had to use the Recephrin injections. This was a hard month for little guy!!

Latest accomplishment: SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! HALLELUJAH!
He's also started the backwards crawl, but that's not nearly as exciting as sleeping through the night! ;)
He started holding his bottle.
He's almost sitting up. I guess I forgot to document when Emi started doing that but based on my pictures, it looks like some time between 7 and 8 months, so maybe we'll start that soon. That would sure help bath time since he's outgrown his baby bath. It would also be nice to sit in a high chair or a grocery cart without the car seat!
