Sleeping - Since we've been home from Vegas (where you slept through the night 3 nights in a row in a hotel), I would say you've slept through the night 25% of the time. I think alot of these wake-ups could be due to the heater running almost continuously and drying you out. We have added the humidifier to your room, which you think is super neat. But it hasn't helped you sleep through the night yet. Your right front tooth has been cutting through for about a month. It's finally broken the gum, but I can't help but wonder if this has been disturbing your sleep too.
The next one has to do with feeding. You've stopped taking the bottle from dad, and you like to play with your sippy cups more than drink from your sippy cups. It seems like you're reverse cycling and drinking most of your milk at night straight from mom. Most nights you're waking up once between 12 - 3 and again between 5:30-7:00. Momma is TIRED, but loves the extra snuggles with her baby.
Breastfeeding - Still nursing like a champ. I never realized nursing could be such an active sport. Alot of times when you're awake, you like to stand and nurse, or squat and nurse. You use your forearms to push down on my breast in order to help the milk come out faster. Usually you eat once in the morning before work, right before bed and the last month or so, it seems like once or twice in the middle of the night. I'm hoping you start sleeping through the night again soon.
I pump between 2-3 times a day at work. I tried dropping to 2 sessions per day in November, but I caught a stomach virus and my milk slowed down alot. So I brought it back to 3 times pumping per day to up the supply again.
Cute Things You Do - You love mimicking noises. Especially you and daddy noises, which to me sounds like dolphin calls and whistles.
You're learning how to walk. Every day you are standing for at least a second or two by yourself. You crawl super fast on all 4's, so you're not quite as interested in walking as you were when you were doing the army crawl.
You like brushing your teeth alongside mommy and daddy.
You like playing peek-a-boo.
Doesn't Like: Still don't like your carseat. We have the convertible and just need to install it in dad's car. Hopefully that helps you alot.
You don't like drinking milk out of a bottle, especially if it's not on your time frame.
