Dalton: Aka- Dozer, Big D, D- Man, Bubba, Chunkers,
Wearing: Mainly 9-12 month stuff and some 18 month shirts/onesies. Size 3-4 diapers, both fit him fine.
Sleep: No change from last month. And our camping trip and vacation didn't help it. Some nights are better then others. He is napping less though. Normally 2 naps a day anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Sometimes a bit longer, but not usually. And typically this kid can sleep anywhere with any amount of noise.
Eating: Still loves to eat. So far he is eating everything I have given him. He will definitely be loving life more when he can eat real solid foods. If he isn't eating real food he is sucking down a bottle.
Milestones: He just started clapping his hands! Very cute! And his new word is "num num!" as he is eating his food. He is getting better at walking along the furniture and balancing himself. He can finally let go of something and not topple over backwards smacking his head. He is starting to dance a little when music comes on. And tooth #2 finally popped through as of yesterday! He is also a speed crawler!
Personality: Pretty laid back boy and has really loved to snuggle this past month. He loves napping in my arms when I will let him and I would more often if it wasn't for the fact that he is so darn heavy. He is my little dozer and will plow right through anything, for instance his poor innocent sister. He has no fear as of yet. He is very determined to get to where he is going or keep trying something until he achieves it. He is also very sensitive. A good mix of mamas boy and daddy's boy. Although he slightly prefers daddy over mommy.
Activity: Loves all his toys and also things he shouldn't have. He loves playing with big brothers toys as well. Walking along furniture and exploring every room in the house. He loved being outside while on vacation and will stand at our sliding glass door throughout the day banging on it like he wants to be out there. If only this rain and cold weather would let up! He loves watching big brother run around the house and act crazy. And he also loves climbing up my legs.
Dakota: AKA- Princess, peanut, sissy, doodle bug, sister sue,
Wearing:6-9 month and some 12 month shirts. Size 2-3 diapers.
Sleep: Same as her brother. Sleeping issues are a mess. Some nights she only wakes once others can be up to 4x. She takes 2 naps a day usually around 2 hours each. I might be trying to take it down to one to see if it helps with her night time issues.
Eating: So far she is liking everything, even peaches now. Sometimes she has a hard time with green beans (she has to be in the mood for certain veggies). Still taking about 5-6 oz in her bottle at every feeding.
Milestones: She just started waving hi. She won't do it often but aunt Tracy could get her to do it in Arizona! She is also trying to say "What's that?!" coming out as "Ahhh tat!" Austin used to do that same thing. So cute! Every time I say it she repeats it. Today I had her giving me Hi-Fives. Every time I put my hand up she would put hers up and hit mine. Love this stage!!! She is also balancing herself real good and is letting go of furniture and standing on her own for a few seconds at a time. Walking soon? Hmmm, I have mixed feelings on this. We finally have her taking the sippy cup. For a long time she wanted nothing to do with it, now she loves it. Still NO teeth. I hope they pop soon!
Personality: A total diva. She gets so upset if she doesn't get her way. But a toughie too. She is sticking up for herself when Dalton pushes her over or takes a toy from her. She may be tiny and put on a sweet face, but looks can be deceiving ;) With 2 brother she is going to need to have some tough skin. She is quite sweet though, and a big snuggler. Definite mamas girl but has no problems pushing past me to snuggle with her daddy. She likes to be acknowledged when either I or hubby enters the room. If we don't she gets VERY upset. She didn't get the nickname princess for nothing lol! She is very careful in everything she does. A bit fearless but very smart about things.
Activity: Playing with all the toys and Austin's toys. Water bottles and the carboard rolls from paper towels make for great entertainment. She loves paper and sitting forever and just crinkeling it. Very fast crawler and will follow me and her brothers throughout the house. Pulling herself up on anything and everything.
I can't believe we are 3 months away from their first birthday!! I guess I better start planning :)
