Weight: My home scale says 16.2 lbs.
Eating: On a good day we're eating at 5, 8, 12, 5, and 7. I have done my best to stretch the 3:00 feeding closer to 5 and he's starting to give in the battle.
We started with cereal this month and then switched to veggies. He HATES pretty much everything we try. So far we have tried green beans, squash, peas, and sweet potatoes. The only one he tolerates is sweet potatoes. I wanted to delay fruits so he didn't get used to the sweetness, but I went ahead and tried just to get him to eat.
So he's eaten apples and bananas but he hates bananas. Guess we're just going to keep trying.

Bedtime: I've moved his bed time closer to 7:30 and trying to get Emi in bed by 8. It's been hard with summer ending and us trying to get our last minute events packed in, but when I do get him in bed by 7:30, he doesn't fight it.
Awake: I googled sleep training techniques this month and tried out a few things. Up until this month, whenever he woke up I would immediately pick him up, change him and then feed him. I decided to try to give him the paci first and quit changing him. Most times this works.
By 5:00, he's ready to eat though and normally he'll go back to sleep until 7:00ish. That's going to change soon though, because we'll be leaving around 7:00 to get to day care.

Naps: He's not great at a nap schedule, but he's definitely taking 2 naps per day at varying lengths. I'm hoping when he starts day care he'll have a more consistent schedule.
Diapers: I'm trying to use up my size 2s, but I have a case of Target brand that I'm going to take back to get size 3s. He's pretty much busting out of 2s.
Clothes: He's solidly in 6 month clothes and can probably wear 9 months, but I don't have many of those. He's skinny though so the bigger pants don't stay in place.
Favorites: He loves his blanket that has the bear attached.
Anything he can stick in his mouth.
He loves to be talked to.
He loves to grab hair.
Rolling over.

Dislikes:
He got another cough when we got back from Florida. It doesn't seem to bother him, but mommy dislikes it!
He hates being stuck in the car seat or stroller for very long.
BABY FOOD.

Latest accomplishment: He started rolling over this month, but since he's big chested, he can roll over from back-front, but not front-back.
