Anton's Updates :: Week 42

  New Favorites: Making funny faces. He has really been hamming it up with faces and sounds lately. He loves to scrunch his face up and squint especially when I pick him up from daycare. 

Eating: This kid hasn't met a food he didn't like. Our pediatrician assured us that we aren't over feeding him and he is a healthy size. I've even noticed him thinning out a bit since he's getting more and more active.. 

Sleeping: He's still on 11 hours at night and 2 naps a day. Sometimes the second nap is in the car though.

Milestones: I've decided to switch him to size 5 diapers at night. It's a bit crazy considering diapers only go up to size 6.

Mom and Dad: Grading is piling up on my desk. I've been using my home office for an hour or so in the evenings to catch up while Anton and Daddy have some quality playtime.

Anton's Updates :: Week 41

 New Favorites: Making music on the guitar and piano with daddy.

Eating: We've purchased a homemade pouch machine for purees and smoothies. It's really handy to make pouches for his lunches and pack them full of delicious veggies.

Sleeping: Doing great except for waking up in the middle of the night to practice rolling and crawling skills. Usually I just pull him into bed with us around this time anyway.

Milestones: A tooth!! The bottom left popped through the other day and the bottom right is swollen and red so I'm sure it's right behind. Luckily his new tooth hasn't interrupted his sleep or moods much.

Mom and Dad: Loving weekends!! Trying to squeeze in some chores and also find time to relax and snuggle the boy.

Anton's Updates:: 40 weeks

 New Favorites: Making funny faces. He has been scrunching his face up and puckering up lately.

Eating: I actually enjoy packing his cute little lunches every morning. Tiny chunks of veggie burger, blueberries, avocado, beets, waffles.....you name it, this kid loves it.

Sleeping: He's doing fine. Sleeps from 6:45 at night until we wake him for school at around 6:15. Sometimes I bring him into our bed around 5:00 to make it more relaxing to nurse him rather than while were rushing out the door.

Milestones:Rocking back and fourth on hands and knees. He's getting closer to crawling. It could be because he is back to daycare and has noticed all the other babies crawling and walking around. We've enjoyed having him so stationary. We've heard once they start crawling, things get really crazy.

Mom and Dad: Loving weekends!!

 We're back to school!

I guess this is my excuse for the lack of posts lately.

New Favorites:  Balls! He is completely obsessed. I bought a couple of big bouncy balls at bi mart the other day and he just giggles like crazy when we get them out. He is back to daycare and was very happy to be re-united with his teacher. He is still in the infant room which is nice and quiet considering there is only one other baby at the moment. 

Sleeping: Still sleeping like a champ. The simple bedtime routine has worked wonders and he has been sleeping consistently through he night. Naps have been pretty regular as well. Two per day. He even slept in his portable crib while we stayed at a friends to have our hardwood floors refinished.

Milestones: Words! He has been saying Kitty and Ball lately. I am so excited to see what else this little guy has to say.

Mom and Dad: Getting used to the new back to work schedule.
