11 months [babywise]

11 months [babywise]

It's happening whether I'm ready or not.  In 4 short weeks, this baby boy of ours is turning 1.
This month, Rogue added a big milestone to his resume: taking steps!  He doesn't do it often b/c crawling is faster and cruising is his fav but with warmer weather coming, we want him to walk asap.  B/c crawling on pavement and the grass will make my laundry pile that much taller....to which I am not a fan.
In other news, Rogue popped his 7th tooth, still does not like to be left alone with strangers, and sits in the car as quiet as can be.  Which is a blessing b/c Solis takes the opposite approach.

Eating: Still the easiest time of day.  Rogue will sit in his highchair all day long if we keep putting food in front of him.  He out-eats his sister every meal.
Here are the regulars on rotation on his plate: 

Breakfast: cut up fruit, scrambled eggs, a carb (oatmeal, pancakes, cherrios)

Lunch: Soft veggies (yams, carrots, peas, etc), beans, cottage cheese, cheese cubes, fruit

Dinner: salmon, tilipia, ground turkey/beef, beans, avocado, pasta, veggies

Rogue's trademark head tilt

Our dog, Naysa, knows where to hang out at meal times.  And Rogue thinks it's the funniest thing to drop food for her.  When I tell him to stop, he gives me the head tilt.  Trying to weasel his way out of trouble already.

Waketime: So this month Rogue became clingy.  For 10 months, he almost never whined.  Now he crawls after Shaun or I and wants held.  But the minute we hold him, he wants down.  It's a fun game. 
His favorite toys are made of rubber which just so happen to be the dog's toys.  I know, gross, but you gotta pick your battles.

Sleep: He's still awesome :)  He finally dropped his evening catnap and now takes 2 naps a day with 12 hours at night.

Schedule: Everyday is different b/c of our activities.  But some things are always the same like waking at 8, taking 2 naps a day, and going to bed at 8.  Since dropping the 3rd nap, we let him sleep as long as he wants in the afternoon.

8am 6oz, breakfast

10-12 nap #1

noon 6oz, lunch

2ish-4:30/5 nap #2

 4:30/5 4oz

6:00 dinner

7:50 6oz, bed

Solis and Rogue love being goofy with each other.  They make each laugh all day long.
But in case you thought everything is perfect over here, I probably hear "Rogue, STOOOOPPPPP!" 20x a day.

 

I wish I could freeze time and keep him this age for a little longer.  He is so incredibly sweet and fun and doesn't tell me no yet :) But we are so excited to watch him grow into a little man.  Eeeek!  Cannot believe the first year is almost done.
Love you buddy!
