October

Seems like his growth and development really accelerated this month! Super mobile on the floor now. Have to keep an eye on him. He's already gotten into the paper recycling box. Loves to army crawl around and chase after toys and my toes. Time to baby proof the house. He weighed in at 19lb 5 oz last week.

Where's my cigar?

Lots of drool

Thanks for my Ling Ling Potsticker hat Auntie Ann Riddle-Bernsten!

Hanging with Dad

Auntie Mo came up for a visit!!!

Leo loves cuddling with Auntie Mo. We miss you!

Stretching. Funny. He stretches just like me.

We can't get him to suck on a pacifier but he'll suck on the head of the rubber ducky.

Loves story time before bed

Just up from a morning nap

Out for a walk in the neighborhood

Getting ready to head out

He outgrew his infant sling in the chariot! Looking forward to using the ski kit this winter.

Started sucking on his toes a couple weeks ago

We are trying to get him on a schedule, he's only napping 30-45 min at a time right now:
0700 Wake/Nurse
0730 Activity
0900 Nap 1
1000 Nurse
1030 Activity
1130 Nap 2
1230 Solid food/Nurse
1400 Walk/Nap 3
1500 Nurse
1530 Activity
1700 Nurse/Nap 4
1745 Get ready for bed (bath, singing, story time)
1830 Lights out
1900 Sleeping

He's been sleeping for 7-9 hours, then always waking at 0500 get him back to sleep for 45 min, wakes at 0600 and get him back to sleep at 0700. For some reason he has a hard time sleeping until 0700 but he is definitely not ready to be awake for the day at 0500 or 0600. Neither are we!! Hopefully, as his brain matures he'll learn how to sleep until 0700 and also nap longer. But I'm already starting to feel human again!
