1. Does your LO have any words yet? - Mine doesn't. 2. Is your LO still drinking from bottles? - Yes, but I would like to drop them soon. 3. Can your LO (mostly properly) use a cup, spoon, or fork? - Kinda... still sticks hand inside cup, turns it upside down and spills, will sometimes put the right end of a utensil in mouth but doesn't have the consistent get-food-eat-food concept down.
He says Mama, Dada, Uh-oh and Go. The only one he always uses appropriately is Uh-oh and sometimes go. Mama and Dada, he's starting to realize is me & DH, but doesn't call us by name.
Still using bottles. At daycare he's 100% sippy cup, but he's gets a bottle morning/night at home.
Haven't really attempted utensils. Daycare is starting using them at all meals, so I'm going to let them do the hard (messy) work on this one.
STTN? It's happened maybe 10 times in his life. His wake ups are usually quick now, but I wish I could figure out how to get them to stop altogether
Height/weight at birth:[/strong] 6#, 6 oz, 19 inches Height/weight at 1 year: 20.5# So how old is your LO now? almost 14 months - same bday as cincodemayo's DS What new things is your LO doing? He's SO MUCH FUN right now. Gives hugs, cruises, babbling nonstop. He only has a few words- that, mama and Dora (our dog). He's thisclose to walking and can climb stairs like nobody's business. Also he STTN more than half the time- woo hoo!!!! Items on their birthday/holiday wish list? ILs bought him a cozy coupe, I have a few toys stashed (little people, megablocks, etc. I want a kitchen helper and some kind of Lego/train table which DH will probably build. Is LO dressing up for Halloween? He's a blue monster, which is fitting since we used to call him a tiny monster. Care to share some pics if you celebrated the 1st birthday yet? If not, what are your plans? Nothing of the bday boy, but I did make a chalkboard print courtesy of @natariru giving me her template. I also made a fabric garland and tablecloths. I was feeling crafty
We had about 40 people, semi-catered (Costco), theme was loosely elephants and teal/orange. What is your LO eating? DS is a stubborn baby and definitely a picky eater- not much other than purees and crackers. I also still have him on formula because he has milk allergies and I want to make sure he gets enough nutrition . Any plans for TTC? Sadly, DH is pretty firmly in the OAD category. I want another but since I will be 39 next year I'm not sure I will ever convince DH in time
Oh also- we are still using bottles. Like Velar Fricative he will drink water out of a straw cup but not formula. I am so tired of washing bottles and parts.
Utensils- he tries to use a spoon but dumps most of it on himself and then tries to use his fingers for purees. At least dexterity is not an issue?
DD2 was 8lbs3oz at birth, 20(?) in, and about 18.5lbs and I think 28.5in at her 1 yr check, "petite" her doc said. She's almost 13 mo. Her latest tricks are sticking out her tongue, blinking hard on command, "brushing" her teeth and hair, and fake coughing. She cruises a lot and loves any chance to crawl up steps. She is both bold and persistent, different from her sister. She says mama and dada with specificity, part of her sister's name, and what sounds like hi. No bottle but still nursing. No ideas for Christmas, I feel like we already have everything from her sister but we'll come up with something. Birthday was sunshine and rainbow themed. She eats oatmeal, scrambled eggs, hummus, broccoli, rice, salmon, meatballs, chicken, lots of fruit, shredded whole milk cheese, etc. No more TTC for us!
Height/weight at birth: 21 inches, 8 lbs Height/weight at 1 year: 31.5 inches and 26 lbs. 98th percentile for height and weight. Big girl! (I realize not everyone is actually a year yet) So how old is your LO now? She turned one 10 days ago. Sniff sniff What new things is your LO doing? Throwing herself back anytime she's not happy about something. When I try to wrap her on my back she crawls away as fast as she can. Items on their birthday/holiday wish list? Music toys. She LOVES music. Is LO dressing up for Halloween? Yes. Gah...gotta figure it out. Big brother is going to be a fire fighter. I wanted to maker her a dalmatian puppy costume but I don't think it's going to happen. It's just not cold enough here for fleece and I can't find dalmatian print flannel. So....I don't know yet. What is your LO eating? She eats everything. And if she doesn't want any more of something she throws it on the floor. Lovely. Currently, she's a better eater than her brother. But he was a good eater at her age and it all went down hill at 2. So I'm not holding my breath. Any plans for TTC the next one? LOLOLOL......LOLOLOLOLOL....we're not done but....LOLOLOLOL. No. Not now.
