Infant Check-in (1/31)

[oldbaylover1024]

Age: 11.5 months

Milestones: Words! All the sudden he says a bunch of stuff, including the newest word - hot. Everything is 'ot' these days LOL

Challenges: Baby proofing is still a challenge, but he's been pretty cool this week.

Funny/cute stories: He was sitting with one of his books - a big picture book. Well, he was sitting ON the book and simultaneously trying to open and close it. He couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Well, bro, your butt. Your butt is on the book.

How are you? In denial that he's almost 1 already.

Anything else? So very tired and busy.

QOTW: I could use more winter. I'm stuck inside until April anyway LOL

oldbaylover1024 11.5! Too funny about the book. Silly boy.

Age: 5mo 1wk 6d

Milestones: oh my gosh. He’s doing so much! He’s sitting unassisted for the most part, has rolled back to belly, tries so hard to crawl but just isn’t there yet. He babbles like crazy. He can take his paci in and out of his mouth. And today my nanny sent me a video of him playing with the toy that has the pole with rings that you take on and off it and he was pulling the rings off. He amazes me every day with what he does. I’m so in love.

Challenges: sleep / naps. Hit or miss. Nights where he wakes up every 1-2h and nights where he wakes up once. What gives kid?! We KNOW you can do it- so do it!!! Woof.

Funny/cute stories: he rolls into his belly and then eventually gets mad that he can’t crawl so he screams his head off. But dude, just roll onto your back! You did that roll first so I know you can do it. And he calms down if I flip him over. But noooo.

He met his first dog yesterday. He loved the dog until he grabbed the dogs ear and the dog yipped loudly and ran away. The yip scared N and he burst into tears. It was adorable. Am I terrible for thinking it was so cute to see him scared? Like I hadn’t seen him get that expression on his face before so it was nice to see him have that emotion. Even though I felt badly he was scared it was cute and made me laugh. I’m terrible, I know.

How are you? Ok. Tired. DH said he’d do the first wake up last night. 2am- I got up. At 5am DH was like wait what? I was like uhhh I fed him at 2.... 🙄 “I didn’t hear him!” Bruh, the monitor is on YOUR nightstand. Come on, son! Whatever, my boobs haven’t regulated sleeping through the night so it was fine that I got up and fed him, but 🙄 to DH.

Anything else? I feel like my baby is growing up so fast. We visited our friends who have a 12 day old baby girl and omg the snuggles. She was so tiny. I can’t with her cuteness.

QOTW: Are you hoping the ground hog does or doesn't see its shadow?
Which means what? I want it to be warm soon bc then our nanny can take N out for walks and to classes. And then I can take him for walks on my days off.
