Feeding: Stafford takes four bottles of Nutramigen, has 1-2 fruits (baby food), 2 vegetables (baby food) and just about anything "off the table" (that he wants to try, that is) per day! He is such a good eater and will pretty much try anything. We have found that he really likes refried beans (thanks to our many mexican nights!), chicken, baked beans, puffs, whipped cream and drinking water from a cup! He has one tooth on the bottom with another one pushing through right now. He has really gotten the hang of "chewing" and it is precious to watch him!
Sleeping: Stafford got his sleeping skills from his momma! He is such a great sleeper. He is still taking 1-2 naps per day (sometimes for 2+ hours each) and sleeps until around 7:15 every morning. He still doesn't have a set bedtime but is falling asleep around 8:00 - 8:30 each night. He sleeps through the night but has gotten in the habit of wiggling so much that he's at the complete opposite end of his crib every morning!! Still, I don't complain about his sleep...he's a good sleeper and I'm thankful for that!
Weight: Stafford's weight is about 20 pounds. We were at the doctor's office about two weeks ago and they had him at 19 pounds, 4 ounces so I'm guessing he's right at 20 now.
Clothes: Sweet thing has FINALLY graduated to 9-12 month pj's! He does still have some 6-9's that fit but those were always on the larger side of the size chart. He mostly wears 9 and 12 month outfits and a Size 1 sandal. Sweet little feet!
Personality: Still laid-back and generally an all-around happy baby. He does have his moments, though! Teething is causing him to be a bit cranky and irritable on occasion and he DOES NOT like having something taken away from him...temper, temper!! On the whole, he's an excellent, easy baby. Always smiling, talking and laughing!!
Fitness: Stafford has mastered sitting up, rolling all over the place, leaning forwards and backwards, catching himself when he starts falling over, etc. but no crawling yet. He's getting there...he lays on his tummy and pushes up with his arms but ends up scooting himself backwards instead of going forwards. He's crawling in reverse! He is so close and I know if I would just put him down some then he'd do it...I can't help it though! I love holding and kissing on my boy!!
Routine: We found out the hard way that routine is VERY important to this kiddo! A few weekends ago, we went to Oxford and got our routine all out of whack resulting in Mr. Crank. So, now we are going to be sticklers for it because Stafford was not a happy camper. Everything is still the same: wake up at 7ish, get to school by 8:30, pick up at 5:00, supper and bathtime around 6ish, play time and bottle around 7:30 and winding it down at about 8. ROUTINES ARE IMPORTANT if you don't want a cranky baby! :)
