(stats using WHO)
He really sleeps through the night now. I am enjoying sleeping until 8 AM. Most of the month he had 2 naps but lately he just has 1.
He eats 3 meals a day. He nurses morning, before nap, and before bed. If he wakes in the night, I nurse then too.
He still feeds himself everything.
He seems to eat for a pretty long time when he eats. He doesn't nurse very long. He even motions to go in the crib at night instead of nursing to fall asleep.
Start bedtime routine pretty close to 8:00. Routine is Benadryl, diaper change, and sing him ABCs while I put him in his scratch sleeves and sleep sack. Put on some ointments. Then I nurse. Asleep by 8:30. Sleep all night! Wake up 8:00 for the day. Play a little, get Ella ready for school, drop Ella off and he has a snack in the car, play or do errands, eat lunch or nap, then the other of those 2, play, eat, play, get Ella, eat, sleep.
He gets Benadryl before bed at night and before nap all days.
He naps 2 hours almost every single nap which is good.
On August 13, he walked a few steps to the ottoman. He peed in the tub!
On August 14, I noted that the past couple days Miles has been clapping more. I asked Miles what was in his mouth. He said Apple. I didn't believe it. Fished it out. It was apple! He almost flipped off the changing table but didn't since I had his leg.
On August 15, he was probably awake an hour before he was loud enough to hear (at 8 AM).
On August 16, he walked 3 steps.
On August 20, he walks a few steps all the time now.
On August 22, he walked on video!
On August 25, he sat on the sit n spin with my help and loved it. He bit his upper lip when he fell and it was bleeding.
On September 1, he walked numerous times.
On September 2, he walked a few steps multiple times.
On September 4, he is walking a lot.
On September 5, he walked and turned around and walked back without holding onto anything.
On September 6, he's a walker all over now!
On September 9, he worked hard to assemble medium sized Legos. He was so proud. He had his first forward roll. Everyone at his party saw it but me!
On September 10, it was his 2nd day in a row when he wants to nap, he climbs on me to try to get to nurse. He's definitely walking everywhere. He's way more aware of everything lately.
He has to be coaxed to wave but then he does.
He likes to shake his head no. Usually to actually mean no but sometimes when he's really tired he is falling all over the floor and shakes his head.
He knows the routine and puts his arms through the sleep sack and scratch sleeves. I haven't really asked him to help pull off shirts when I change his clothes so I should start doing that.
Miles tries to talk a lot. If I have context, I figure out a lot of things he's saying. But mostly I have no idea.
He's been more demanding. If he sees something he wants, he's vocal about it.
He can listen to commands like say "ahh" or "give me what's in your mouth" so that is nice.
He can pick stuff up off the ground and go back to standing without even holding onto anything. He can walk and loose his balance and just put his arms down on the ground and then get back up without his butt ever being on the ground. He just stands and walks everywhere now.
Communication:
He talks even more than before. But still has a long way to go. I started teaching him to sign more and he does. Maybe I should teach him a few signs just so I can be sure I know what he's trying to tell me.

Miles likes to hold his giraffe and my pillow while nursing and when going to sleep. He also likes his fleece blanket and afghan.
My Recovery
My knee had some good days this month but mostly bad. I lost some weight and gained some weight back. I'm still down so that's good. I hurt my wrist a few weeks ago and that still bothers me. I cannot believe my knee still bothers me. I can say it's officially be a year now!
