I swear I blinked and another month happened...sheesh.
No clue on the actual length/weight of this guy right now but stepping on a scale with him puts him between 24-26lbs depending on the scale. I don't know how accurate that is at all, but lets just say that Addison was only 17lbs at 9 months. Busting out of the seams of most of his 6-9 month clothing, Perhaps if I find the time this weekend we can make a switch over to 12 month clothing...or not, I mean some if it still fits fine. Still in size 4 diapers and still impossible to put shoes on his chubby, curled up toes feet.
Alex now has FOUR teeth, cut both of his top front teeth this month and is definitely working on some others as we speak. He's been super momma clingy (if it was possible to be even more clingy than he previously was) this month, I'm assuming it's been due to the teething.
He's mastered crawling and is working on his couch surfing/deciding which day he's going to decide to take off running. He's got the best balance I've ever seen in a baby and will just stand somewhere for minutes without using anything to support himself before plopping to his bottom. It's kind of the weirdest thing I've seen. He's also started "dancing" when music comes on which is really just him sitting down and rocking back and forth, but it's adorable. He refuses to clap, he refuses to wave.
Still nothing I will consider a real first word yet. He babbles a Da-Da, Ba-ba, and Mama sound but I refuse to accept it as a word until he says it directed to the thing/person he's babbling ;) Is that high standards for the second baby or just me?
His hair is starting to calm down, it's still got a mind of its own but we've gone from flipping up straight into the sky to wavy and curly and looking like something out of the 70's.
Eating like a champ has only turned his nose up to some pre-made oatmeal thing I bought him from Gerber. Everything else he eats like he's not had a meal in days.
Continues to have a mostly great attitude, super cute, super sweet, just getting a little bit of feisty. As in, I scream like a banshee when things aren't going my way.
He loves to wrestle and rough house with his sister but the boy is seriously a biter. Comes straight in with the teeth. Is this something that he's going to outgrow, or am I going to have a kid with a biting problem on my hands. Seriously, he does it ALOT! He also puts everything in his mouth, look like he's sucking on something? Probably a piece of: dog food, capri-sun straw wrapper, chunk of plastic shrink wrap from god knows what, dirt, anything else he can find to shove in there. It's funny that Addison never was much of a mouthy (as in shoving EVERYTHING in her mouth) baby like he is. Seriously, everything.
This month we went to Ohio for Thanksgiving and Alex got to meet some of his family that he hadn't gotten to meet yet. He did great with everything, hotel stays and strange house naps.
We also got to see Santa this past weekend and while there were no tears or hysterics he definitely give the fat man a good "who the hell are you stare" but overall did great with him.
