Loves: His loves are still pretty much the same. He loves to stand and walk. He pulls up on the coffee table then walks to the other side and sits down. Then he gets back up and does it all over again. He's constantly standing and sitting. He also now stands up with his push toy and takes off around the house. He still can't turn though :)
Hates: He doesn't hate much these days except when we stop him from doing whatever he shouldn't be doing at that moment: playing in the dog bowl, throwing food off of his highchair, hitting our faces, etc.
Milestones: He pulls up on everything! He's also become a pro at sitting back down without startling himself. He loves to sit and stand back up. But he hasn't quite figured out how to stand up without pulling up on something yet.
He can stand without holding on though but I'm not sure he knows it ;). He consistently pulls up on the coffee table and then lets go to grab and play with a toy, leaving him standing unassisted. But if I put him in the middle of the room and let go he freaks out and sits down. We just need to do some baby confidence boosting!
He still favors saying Dada but he'll throw other noises/words in there too. He'll say mama if he's feeling especially nice, but his most favorite is screaming "DOOOOOOO". It's amazingly adorable. He'll also try to repeat your words. He'll get the sound right but use the wrong letters. "Jack can you say Dog"..."touggg". Eh close enough. Or even better he'll just think about it for a second and then look at you and say dada. Well he tries :).
His newest trick is giving people high-fives. He doesn't put any "umph" behind it but he does put his hand to yours which counts in our book :). We're still working on waving and clapping. When we ask him to clap he immediately grabs our hands and slaps them together. Technically he isn't wrong. We didn't specify whose hands to clap ;)
Sleep: He's still amazing in this department. He sleeps from 8 to 6:30ish. He would sleep longer but he's on work schedule so weekends I still have to get up like I would for work but those mornings are filled with cuddles instead of insane traffic.
Eating: He still has 4 bottles a day 6 oz each. Then three solids, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are starting to wean him off of the purees. He's been eating finger food for months now but we used to only offer them after he ate his puree. Now we only give him puree's if he's just not having the finger food we give him. I also still provide it to our day care lady so she has backup food just in case he rejects something she gives him. So I'm not completely out of the baby food factory but oh so close. I am so ready to be done making baby food all the time!
Teething: When it rains it pours! He has his top left tooth. His bottom left tooth has finally poked through and then the tooth to the left of this top tooth is just starting to poke through. I can see the teeny tiniest bit of white. So it looks like he'll be pretty lop sided to his left side for a while :). But all the other front teeth are swollen and hard so we're expecting them any day now.
