Anton's Updates :: 46 Weeks

 New Favorites: Crawling!!! He has figured it out and is now all over the place. So far this phase has been really fun. He has been really good about staying near his toys and not venturing too far around the house. We did head out to purchase some baby gates and plug covers though.

Eating: He is loving his handmade pouches and has started to really enjoy teething biscuits. Tooth two has broken through and the tough biscuits have seemed to soothe him lately.

Sleeping: He did a great job when dad needed to do bedtime for a couple of nights in a row. Occasionally he wakes in the night, but it is random and not too often. He still goes down around 7 and we wake him at 6:15.

Milestones: Crawling.

Mom and Dad: Busy busy at work, and savoring the weekends with our little crawler. We've been making the most of these super warm October days.

Anton's Updates :: 45 Weeks

 New Favorites: Hats - he loves putting them on and taking them off. He's pretty obsessed with his dads hats and laughs when we put them on his head. He continues to practice new noises and a rough growl has been his favorite lately. The growling is especially rough and tough when he is playing with the basketball.

Eating: He still eats pretty much everything we feed him. He's been dealing with a bit of a rash on his back for quite a while now and I'm wondering if it's from something he is eating. The rash doesnt seem to bother him and it's really tricky to pinpoint what it could be if it is from a type of food. Hopefully it will just disappear.

Sleeping: Sleeping has been great. Next week he will have to be put to sleep without mama for a couple nights due to parent/teacher conferences. I'm sure Dad will be able to handle the job.

Milestones: Tooth number two is breaking through. It's pretty cute to see those little chompers.

Mom and Dad: Dad has been taking Anton to the park to show off some of his basketball skills.

Anton's Updates :: 44 Weeks

New Favorites: Funny faces. Obviously. I think these are my favorite photos of him to date. 

Eating: Anything and everything. We're taking it easy on the dairy these days to see if it cuts down on some tummy trouble he was having.

Sleeping: Great. Almost too great. He would love to sleep in if he could. We've been indulging a bit on the weekends and having family sleep ins until 8 or so. It feels wonderful!

Milestones: Sooooo close to crawling. He just needs to lurch forward instead of backwards. He's also working on his second tooth. I tried to catch a photo of his cute little bottom tooth, but his silly faces will have to suffice. 

Mom and Dad: Embarking on some crock pot adventures. Thrilling , I know.

Anton's Updates :: Week 43

New Favorites: Scooting around while sitting. It is amazing how far he can travel this way.

Eating: I'm preparing to drop a nursing session here or there so I can start the weaning process. I have a feeling it's going to be tricky with this kid. The fact that he never really warmed up to the bottle and still throws his sippy cup on the floor makes me wonder if he will be attached to nursing for a long long time. We shall see. I'm in no hurry to stop, but it would be nice to have the option feed him in different ways.

Sleeping: I love watching his sleeping positions lately. I keep finding him on his tummy with his butt in the air. So adorable!

Milestones: Pretty sure he said mama the other day. He says da da, ball, kitty, ooh ooh Aah Aah(monkey sound).... but mama has been really tricky for him. 

Mom and Dad: Getting ready for a visit from GrandPam and GrampAl this weekend.
