Size he is wearing: Moving into 12 month clothes. Can I just take a moment to tell you how stinkin CUTE holiday clothes are for babies! I have already stocked up on some Christmas pjs and outfits for Alex. I may or may not be already looking for some red footie pajamas for myself as well...
Development: CRAWLING! We went from sitting up from laying down, laying down from sitting up, to crawling all in ONE day. He has been going backwards and rolling to where he needs to go for a couple months now and sitting up like a champ but he now has figured out how to go forward. Time to get some new running shoes and lots more k-cups for the Keurig. We also have a TOOTH! This kid likes to do everything all in the span of a couple days.
Funny things he does: Be himself. He is a funny funny kid. The way he smiles, talks, laughs, everything cracks me up.
Daily activities: I am going to start taking him on more walks in the stroller. The weather is FINALLY cooling down and since he can now sit facing out in the stroller he really likes being in it.
Sleeping: Most days he sleeps until 7 and some days he will go as long as 7:30...I love those days!
Eating: Moving on to chunkier textures. He has also discovered ice water and REALLY likes it. I give him little sips out of my glass and he seriously loves it. We have also been giving him Plum puffs which he is learning to pick up and teething crackers. Confession: I find myself snacking on his puffs while he tries to pick them up.
Things he loves: Books! He loves his light up/sound book and his board books. He also loves eating and his sesame street stuffed dolls.
Things he hates: He thrives on predictability and his routine. If I deviate from his routine, even a little bit, he sometimes doesn't do so well (cranky, fussy, etc). Type A personality possibly?
How Mom and Dad are doing: Good! I am starting to get antsy for the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite times of the year and I want to see Alex experience eating fun foods, opening gifts, taking him to see Santa, etc etc etc. Also, one of my best friends gave birth to her beautiful baby girl Annabelle this past week. Alex brought her flowers and we took a photo with them in matching outfits! Made my heart MELT!
Disclaimer on the Halloween costume: I bought this costume back in August before I was aware of the ridiculous song "What does the Fox say?". If anyone so much as asks me "what does the Fox say" or references my sweet little angel to that song I will hurt you.
