Anton's Updates :: 48 Weeks

 New Favorites: Pointing - at everything.
Eating: He's been a bit picky lately. It's driving his dad crazy. I'm pretty sure it's just a phase.
Sleeping: Speaking of phases. He's in a not so lovely sleeping phase. He's been waking up several times a night and standing up in his crib. Whaaaaaaaaaa! Not too fun. I'm ready for the good nights sleep to come back.
Milestones: He crawled up the first three stairs all by himself yesterday.
Mom and Dad: Mom is obviously a few weeks behind on these posts. I'm going to finish them up this week. I can't believe my baby boy is going to be ONE on Friday!! I'm so proud of him. He's so much fun and really keeps us on our toes.

Anton's Updates :: 47 Weeks

New Favorites: Golf balls...His new hobby is putting golf balls in strange places around the house. He has tried putting them in the bathtub, the toilet, between couch cushions, under pillows, and basically any little nook and cranny he can find. He also loves the sound of them rolling down the stairs. Ahh the joys of being a mobile baby finally.
Eating: Gaining quite the appetite. Unfortunately the weaning situation is going a little slower than planned. He has cut a day feeding but added a night feeding. Oops, looks like we're going to have to work on this a little longer. He is now 24 pounds and wearing a size 5 diaper. He seems to be thinning out a bit and getting taller. 
Sleeping: He's been a bit of challenge in this department for the last couple of days. I'm thinking he is ready to transition from 2 naps to one. He's been waking at night every so often and has been a bit difficult to rock back to sleep - then he ends up in our bed. Well played... sneaky baby.  We're also trying to have dad do the night time routine for a while to see if hit helps him cut out the night nursing sleep associations. He has had such a great stretch of good sleep that we are hoping to keep it that way.
Milestones: Working on pulling up on furniture and practicing taking steps with his walker.
Mom and Dad: Dance parties in the living room in the evenings with baby boy are the best.
