How.did.this.happen?! I blinked and he was this big.
We haven't been to the pediatrician since 6 months, so I'm not 'official' on his stats, but he weighs about 22 pounds and is 27.5 inches long. He's short and chubby :D
He's an expert crawler and is getting fast! He pulls up to everything and started cruising last night!
He's finally outgrowing his hate for his car seat. Boy, is that a relief.
He is still nursing like a champ and shows no signs of stopping. I won't cut him off before he's ready anyway.
He occasionally enjoys solid food. There's nothing he's tried and not liked. He prefers finger foods to being spoon fed. He's working really hard to master his pincer grasp. It's cute to watch him concentrate on picking up little pieces of food!
He wakes up at least once or twice a night. I honestly can't tell you how often or how many times for sure because I don't wake up and check the clock. I pull him to me from his bed extender and latch him on and we go back to sleep. I get sleep. He get's sleep. It works for us.
He's a very, very sweet baby. He's silly and playful and serious and smart. He's calm as can be, just like Stella was.

I still have about 10 pounds of baby weight left to lose. I'm going to blame breastfeeding for making me hang onto the extra fat for baby. I haven't really been doing anything to promote weight loss and I'm not super worried about it. I would really like for all my clothes to fit be again soon, though.
Things have been rough emotionally for me lately. I'm involved in a lot right now: kids, daycare kid, household stuff, school, potentially getting a job. I think I have off a little more than I can chew right now. It'll get better once everything all the scheduling gets smoothed out.
