i actually started typing and wrote 10 months…and i’m pretty sure i’ve been saying 9 + 10 months to every stranger who asks how old he is for like, the last 3 months….and good golly if i’m not sitting here in little puddle of tears thinking about our baby boy turning a whole year old in just a few short weeks!…not really. i just mopped the floor so i’m certainly not going to make a mess…but. i’m feeling all the feels for our baby boy! and he will forever be my baby boy because… y’all he’s still the greatest thing in the entire world. SO much has changed this month. SO MUCH. he’s like a bull in a china shop, screams 90% of the time about heaven-knows-what and is a complete nut job. and still the sweetest little boy you have ever met in your entire life.
…not that i’m biased or anything…

what’s NEW?!

e v e r y t h i n g ! that’s what’s new!

you LOVE to play chase….. typically starting with a screech for someone to look at you, a HUGE grin and then taking off in the opposite direction as fast as you can until you’re laughing so hard you fall over.

you give the sweetest lovies on demand

you went from not crawling to actual real crawling and then even taking a step all within a week. SLOW DOWN!!

you are SO ornery… you’re favorite trick is getting into everything you shouldn’t… i don’t know if the girls were just busy with each other or what but i swear they never were into outlets and eating everything unedible like you are. chalk being your favorite.

you got your first big kid haircut… i even had them cut in a part in hopes of being able to style it.. i apologize in advance for all the horrible hair styles you get… i’m learning!

peek-a-boo is your favorite game

you’re going to eat us out of this house, kid. you’re so over bottles and nursing, all you want is real food and i literally can’t feed you around real food or you throw the biggest temper tantrum.

speaking of tantrums… you throw the funniest little fits if something is taken away from you {see chalk above} or you’re moved away from something you want {big girl puzzles}… i swear you’re cussing me out in your hilarious growl.

you got in trouble for the first time for biting and got a stern ‘no’ followed by the most hysterical cries of hurt feelings… i scooped you right back up….goodness gracious you’re too cute, bud.

you now sleep with a little teddy from grandma + grandpa and your fuzzy blanket from tine… and you snuggle right on up at bed time and we don’t hear from you until morning…hallllllleluuuujah!

cruising… i mentioned you took a step… i seriously think you’ll be walking by your birthday and if not, it’s cloooose. you’re cruising around the tables, in between furniture and behind that little walker of yours. you just look like the tiniest little peanut walking around.

oh my gosh. you starting dancing with music and i may have cried. THE CUTEST little wiggle and lila spotted it… millah’s dancin!!!

and speaking of sisters… you’re sisters are your favorite people in the world next to your daddy. you love to play with them and just be anywhere they are. their room is actually your favorite playground and you’re so tolerant of all their games they play with you. you simply adore them.

daddy’s really #1 in your heart… i’ve never seen a little boy love his daddy so much and it’s my favorite thing in the world. you light up when he walks in the room, you whip that head around as fast as humanly possible looking for him when you hear his voice and he’s your preference to fall asleep on when you need snugs.

schedule

you’re still the easiest baby in the world and are SO easy going…except if you see food you want to eat, then you’re hangry. immediately until i let you have some of whatever it is you see. we still have the same-ish schedule other than my supply has drastically dropped so you’re really only nursing 2x per day, and i still offer a bottle after night time.. i actually think i’ll be dropping to 1x/day like, tomorrow.

8-830am: wake + nurse

9am: breakfast {pb+oatmeal+yogurt, fruit, cheerios, pb toast}

play / errands {sometimes will catnap in the car}

11am-12pm: 6oz bottle

1230-1pm: lunch {veggies + fruit + mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, pb+jelly, fish sticks}

1/2-4:30pm: nap
{when we’re home it’s usually 1ish, if we’ve been out running errands + there was a catnap, it’s usually closer to 2}

4:30pm: 6oz bottle

6pm: dinner {whatever we’re having!}

8pm: nurse, then 4oz bottle + bedtime routine

ohhh sweet boy. you’re growing SO fast, right before our eyes. every day, no..every hour.. there is something new. i say it every month, but i just had no idea how much i could love you… you’re so silly and are developing the most adorable personality and it is BIG. while you don’t really have ‘words’ yet, your face + grunts + squeals says it all. you’re rarely ever in a grumpy mood and some simple snuggles can always solve the world’s problems. watching you discover the world around you is one of the greatest treasures and i thank god {and your daddy!} that i get to be around for it.
your love for those sissy’s is not to be reckoned with and you hold your own… you are growing into this hilarious little boy full of sass, opinions + preciousness…all bundled up into this little body. your days of babyhood are quickly disappearing and i’m caught somewhere between being SO proud of you and loving this little boy you’re becoming and wishing i could soak up this baby phase just a little longer.
we love you SO much, bub!!
