Miles wakes up a little after 7 daily. Some days he’s so quiet I don’t know her him until 7:30. There are days he’s awake for an hour in there and super pleasant. (Ella was a freak out cry immediately kind of girl.) Then he takes 1 nap a day. It’s mostly near 12:30. There have been a few times it was early and in the car. And sometimes we are out and about or busy and it’s closer to 2. He naps 2-2.5 hours daily. We start bedtime at 7:30 PM. Sometimes a bit later. But he’s super clingy and freak out most nights because he gets too tired.
Eating
Miles snacks in the morning upstairs while we are getting Ella ready. Then he has breakfast in the car on the way to preschool. Then we start lunch close to 10:30 sometimes 11. So that we are done eating by 12 or so for nap. He likes to eat right after nap. Then we get Ella and they snack in the car on the way home. They start dinner or snack immediately after getting home. The kids eat while I cook. Then they mostly don’t eat the actual dinner. He’s in his high chair most of the time we are eating. He has some dessert too. Then it’s almost bedtime.
Start bedtime routine pretty close to 7:30. Routine is Benadryl, diaper change, and sing him If You're happy and you know it while I put him in his scratch sleeves and sleep sack. Sometimes no singing though. Put on some ointments. Sometimes no ointments. Then I nurse. He falls asleep on me while nursing most of the time. Asleep by 8:30. He sleeps all night. If I happen to hear him make noise in the night he goes back to sleep himself. He wakes up anywhere between 7:30 and 8:10 for the day. Often time he's awake for a bit pleasant in his room before I go in. Sometimes he makes noise so low it doesn't trigger the app but I can see he was awake an hour in there. Play a little, get Ella ready for school, drop Ella off, and he has a snack in the car. Sometimes he falls asleep on the way home and other times he doesn't nap until 2.
He gets Benadryl before bed at night and before nap.
Special Moments:
On November 17, It was his second day in a row that he woke up 7:10 but was quiet and lied back down and I didn’t get him until 7:45. He was still pleasant.
On November 19, Miles was outside in the snow for the first time.
On November 20, Miles fell off the ikea step stool in the kitchen. Miles peed on the floor in the bathroom after his bath!
On November 21, I noticed for the first time Miles had a twinkle in his eye. He was up to no good.
On November 23, Miles spun himself on sit n spin for the first time.
Nov 24, 2017 at 5:25 PM On November 24, I note Miles definitely understands blowing on food. He has been for maybe a week. Miles opened front door himself.
Nov 25, 2017 at 10:47 AM On November 25, Miles ate at the table for the first time. First time eating with plate, too. He fed himself with fork
On November 26, Miles did 2 somersaults down the steps. He had quite the fall.
On November 26, Miles has a diaper rash.
On November 27, he has a bad diaper rash. He cries so hard when I wipe!
On November 29, his diaper rash almost gone
On December 2, my parents babysat Miles while he was asleep.
On December 5, I noticed he had 3 new teeth. I didn't get a look of bottom right but probably a tooth there too (few days later confirmed there was a tooth) His diaper rash was worse again.
Development:
He learned how to be a tricky bugger by not giving you stuff and laughing.
He also started the phase of dropping stuff on the floor on purpose just to see it happen and laughing about it.
He can clap, stomp, and yell hooray when singing if you're happy and you know it.
He knows some body parts.
He started taking off his socks.
Communication:
He will sign more and all done. He has signed to eat a few times. He says a few words. Sometimes he says sentences and we have no idea what he's saying. Other times with context we know. He's said "What's that?" and "Who's that?" He has a happy squeal and a sad squeal but I don't even know how to write that. He has an "I want it grunt." and an "I'm finally about to get it" exasperated panting.
