I completely missed this month. I looked up at the date today and realized it was the 12th! How did that happen???

Weight: 18 lb 1 oz

Height: 30.35"

Percentiles:
Height: 95th percentile
Weight: 13th percentile He's lost a lot of weight with his stomach flu :(

Eating: We've started eating table food. Since he moved up to the bigger baby class, he eats all regular food. They don't feed him baby food anymore. :(
At home I'll still feed him oatmeal for breakfast if we're not having something that's easy to cut up for him. After watching Emi choke her first year, I'm still pretty cautious about bacon. But he's eaten pancakes and biscuits and waffles and all the other normal breakfast foods.
For lunch I've given him small pieces of chicken or veggies and fruit.
For dinner if the dinner isn't too spicy, I just give him what we're eating or I'll steam veggies for him.
He's still taking 4 bottles though. I think I could probably drop the early morning one, but it's just easier to give him a bottle when he wakes up before we get to school. Maybe this month I'll start reducing that bottle so it's not so sudden.

Bedtime: Still around 7:30. On the weekends maybe closer to 8, but this doesn't change very much.

Awake: He's slept in a couple times until almost 8. But weekdays he's usually up between 5:30-6:30. I try to keep him in his crib until 6:00.

Naps: He's taking 2 solid naps per day. One morning and one afternoon. Usually one or the other is longer, but they're still both over an hour.

Diapers: We're still finishing off our 3s, but I did buy my first box of 4s so as soon as we finish the 3s we'll move up.

Clothes: Pretty much all 12 month. Some of the pants are a little baggy, but 9 mo stuff doesn't cover the bottoms of his legs.

Favorites: He loves the Christmas tree. He's been much harder to keep away than Emi ever was.

He loves bath time now that we ditched the baby bath. He takes it with Emi and loves it.

He loves playing with balls. He'll roll one across the floor, crawl after it and then do it again.

He loves music.
He loves the dogs.
He loves to be outside. He's getting a swing to add to our swing set for Christmas and he's going to love it. He used one at Thanksgiving and laughed the whole time.

Dislikes: Still hates diaper changing. He claps at you when he doesn't like something which I think is hilarious. So when I'm changing his diaper or wiping his nose, he'll clap at me.

This month we finally had tubes put in our ears. He was cranky the day of, but his ears have been so much better.
He also caught a stomach bug this month which we're still dealing with. It's so sad because he can't keep much down.
He still hates socks which has been a problem now that the weather is cooler.

Latest accomplishment: Nothing new this month. He's perfecting his crawling and getting into everything he's not supposed to. I didn't have to baby proof much with Emi except plug up the outlets and lock up the chemicals. But Eli has already eaten dog food, put something in the toilet that didn't below, and has an obsession with outlets. He's going to keep me on my toes.
