Grateful for his health!

Eating:
Still picky as ever! I always worry about what he is eating
and how much, it never ends. Someone told me that babies won’t starve
themselves and hearing that other moms have similar struggles with their kids,
makes me feel a little better. His favorites this month were blueberries,
cherries, grapes, waffles, applesauce, bread with cream cheese, cheese and fish
sticks. No new teeth this month, still at 12 teeth total.
Pretty much the same as last month. He’s been sleeping from about 7:30pm until 5:30am. His naps are usually 3 hours, but there were quite a few days this month, where he slept 4 hours (growth spurt maybe?). I’m grateful that he’s such a good sleeper, after we struggled for the first 9 months.
That's the best picture I got of him...lol!

This boy definitely knows what he wants and what he doesn’t want. He is stubborn like his Mama and recently started to throw tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants.
He has also been super attached to me and cries every time I
leave the room. He acts shy sometimes, especially when we’re in a group class
like gymboree. He loves to give kisses to his stuffed animals and is so sweet
to them. We love this age, he’s so fun!

Fun things we did:
This boy is still really busy while we’re at work: Story Hours at the Library, Baby Dance, Children’s Museum, Aquarium, Gymboree, Play Dates, Splash Pads…you name it, he’s doing it.

Our friends visited from Tucson for a weekend and Fox had a
lot of fun playing with their two kids. We also had a few first birthday
parties to attend and had so much fun!
Fox celebrated his second 4th of July with his
grandparents and aunt and uncle (and his mommies of course) and held a sparkler
for the first time. He also invited his baby friends for a 4th of
July Craft playdate at our house, where the babies created some cute patriotic
outfits!
Matthias sister Frida visited for two weeks and Fox just
adored her, he was so sad when she left. Lucky for him, she’s coming back in
October!
He’s learning so much these days. He understands a lot of things, especially when I tell him in german (Katie always says that he understands more German than English, which I think is also true, but only because Katie speaks german as well when she knows the german word or sentence). He also started to climb this month…we’re in trouble soon!
Our trip to Germany where Fox will meet a lot of his relatives for the first time!
Oh I didn't know you are planning a trip to Germany! How exciting! When will you go? :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your trip to Germany, Emilia and I have just returned from our 5th trip to Germany and flew to Florida when she was 12 months old, she's a world traveller now :)
