I keep thinking I will skip a few months of updates, but then I think about all that has changed and feel the need to update and document what he is up to right now.

EATING

He prefers holding big pieces of food and biting off chunks rather than picking up small pieces. One time he ate 3 peaches and still got upset when they were all gone. He is a super messy eater!

NURSING

We are still going strong! Neither of us seems ready to wean, so I can see us going for quite a bit longer. After Finch turned 1, I tried to remove a feeding during the workday, but it wasn't going well for him, so we added it back in, and it has been a lot better. I would say 5 feedings a day is our normal, and more when he is teething.

SLEEPING

Takes 1-2 naps (20-40 minutes)
Bedtime: 5:00-7:00 pm (depends on his naps)
Gets up once at night (between 4:00-6:00 am)
Wake-up time: 6:30-7:30 am

For naps I either nurse him or just lay him down in his crib with his sleep sack on. For bedtime, I nurse him in his room and he either falls asleep on me, or he will eat and then point at his crib when he's ready to sleep.

TALKING

oh
uh oh/uh ah
ack (yuck)
dada
mama

He loves dropping things on the floor and then saying "uh oh!" It is really, really cute.

DEVELOPMENTAL

Waves
Points
Likes to immitate us
Clicks his tongue and thinks it's funny
