Sleep is less awful. He will sleep 3-4 hours at night for his first stretch. Sometimes I have issues getting him in the crib and other times I just fall asleep. Lately I'm sleeping holding him all but maybe 1 hour. He won't nap in the crib either. I tend to start afternoon nap near 2:30. Sometimes he's ready before then but everyone else isn't. I mean i start nursing then so it could be awhile before he's asleep.
Eating
Liam nurses before and after naps, in the morning, before bed, and many times throughout the night. He will eat 2-3 times in the high chair everyday. I wish I had more things to feed him. He's actually pretty picky with his food. Also there are times he doesn't want to go in the high chair and instead of having him scream, I let him hold something and eat it on the floor and then play hopefully.
It's still insane to have a sample schedule. He nurses every time before he falls asleep and when he wakes up unless we are out. He will have food when I eat lunch and when I eat dinner. He maybe takes 2 naps a day but only one is a decent nap.
He starts bedtime near 7:30 and wakes up 3-6 times in a night. He wakes up near 7 am for good. He will nap twice a day but I'd say at least 2 days a week it is just 1 nap. I will try to get him to nap for 90 minutes a lot of the time. If I try to get him into the crib, he may be done napping or nap 5 min in the crib but if I hold him he will nap 90 minutes and sometimes 3 hours.
He has a morning nap. Then he nurses, eats lunch, gets Ella, plays, and then nurses to nap again. He will nap about 90 minutes if I get him to sleep. Then we play and get kids and eat dinner and stuff. Then that brings us to bedtime.

Special Moments:
On February 15, at 1:38 AM, I gave Tylenol again. I have no idea his problem and it’s awful
On February 19, 2020 at 3:24 PM Ella kicked Liam in the head. Liam is a good crawler. He finally has a favorite song. It is this is the song that doesn’t end. Ella told a joke and Liam laughed on cue then she told it again and he laughed appropriately again.

On February 25, we had a rough night. Liam was crying with his eyes closed.
On February 29, I wanted to know how much he always drools. Also he wiggles to dance and has been for awhile.

On March 5, Liam waved a lot on google hangout
On March 7, Dave put Liam to sleep for nap. Around bedtime he threw up.

Development:
He pulls himself up to standing sometimes but most of the time pulling himself up to kneeling has him as high as he wants to go. Liam learned to wave this month. He still has some inconsistencies with straw usage. He learned to open drawers and cabinets this month. He enjoyed taking things out too.
Communication:
I think he has said "ba" in reference to a balloon new this month. He's also said bye. He's shaken his head no. He mainly says da for daddy and Ella. He will babble as a response. He will seem to babble on cue but I have no idea what he's trying to say.
Other Tidbits:
Likes
He loves to take a bath.
He likes to smile and watch other people.

(According to the internet sleeping through the night is considered sleeping 5-6 straight hours.)
Days with sleep greater than 8 hours: 3

This is the song that doesn't end
Favorite Books
none yet (He's liked books but doesn't seem to have a favorite)
Liam still drools an insane amount. He is so clingy. I have had to hold him almost all waking hours and also while sleeping all but 1-2 hours a day for the past few weeks. It is rough. When he was sick for over a week he barely had wet diapers so it lowered his average to 4 a day. Now I have many cabinets child proofed. He prefers to drink out of a regular cup and I often have one with water at dinner to have him drink out of that instead of his sippy cup. From all of his drool, he has some patches on his skin. I think from the wet shirt just outside his bib area. Also his chin has the weird patchy skin too. He has slept a few times without his sleep sack but I think he sleeps worse that way. Miles will ask me to get this baby out of here because Liam will bother him while he's on his gray chair.
My back got worse as the month went on. I started PT again and it helped greatly but then I had to cancel with Dave and Liam being sick and haven't gone and I'm getting pretty bad again. I didn't get strong enough before the carry and hold Liam all day long happened again so now I'm bad.
