Piccolo's Posts: January 2017

Weight: My scale said 20 lb this morning. Thankfully he’s back to gaining weight after losing so much. Now maybe his pants will start staying on again.

Eating: He loves spaghetti and pizza. If he sees food, he wants a bite.

He’s more sensitive to spice than Emi was so if food is spicy I have to give him something else.

He LOVES peanut butter sandwiches. He’ll eat a whole one by himself.

He’s still taking 4 bottles a day. The morning one is more for my sanity. I’m sure he could probably do without it and I said I was going to start reducing it, but I prefer sanity right now.

Bedtime: Not much has changed here. He’s usually in bed by 7:30 and asleep by 7:45. We did have to lower his crib and then right after he needed it lowered again. He stands up as soon as you put him down, but he doesn’t fight for long.

Awake: Usually by 6:30. If it’s earlier, I’ve been making him wait until I’m mostly dressed or at least my hair is done. He usually doesn’t mind. If he’s freaking out I’ll get him a littler earlier.

Naps: Still 2 a day. Both are usually 1.5-2 hours.

Diapers: Still in 3s. We’re getting close to 4s again so maybe by the end of this month we’ll start using our 4s.

Clothes: 9-12 months. We’re almost solidly back to 12 months again. 9 month pants are too short, but it depends on the brand whether 12 months will stay on or not.

PJs are all 12 months for sure!

Favorites: Daddy. Emi was a mommy’s girl and would have periods of time that she wanted daddy. Eli’s happy to see me when I pick him up from day care, but after that he wants daddy only.

He loves to eat.

He loves standing on everything!

He loves banging on Emi’s piano.

He likes to be left alone when he’s playing Emi tries to make him do what she wants to do and he lets her know he has his own ideas.

Latest accomplishment:

He started standing on everything. He had already pulled up once or twice before, but now he's pulling up on everything. It's a problem in the bathtub.

He took his first plane ride this month. The flight to Santa Fe was great because he slept the whole time. The flight home, however, was more difficult because he wanted to be moving and Emi was wanting my attention too. It wasn't quite a disaster, but close.

He started crawling up the stairs.

Anthony said he saw him take a couple of steps, but I haven't seen it yet.

He started saying da-da. And he knows EXACTLY what it means!

He started crawling away from me when I was unpacking his suitcase. I thought he was fine since the gate was closed. Next thing I knew, I heard a SPLASH and he was back in the bathtub with sister PJs and all.

Dislikes: We had a stomach bug this month which put us in the ER for fluids. He wasn’t a fan of the IV but who can blame him??

He’s not a fan of having his hair rinsed in the bathtub. I tell him with his genes, he should enjoy it while he has it!

He’s not a fan of being told no. He knows he’s not supposed to pull things off the entertainment cabinet, so he’ll look back
