Re: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec '06 Mommies

How old?
10 months today!

How big and what size clothes?
21 lbs 7 ounces 29 1/2 inches, wears mostly 12 month clothes, some 19 month tops for her belly :)

What are they doing?
She is crawling 100 mph, cruising everywhere, walking holding onto just one finger of mine, took a few unassisted steps without realizing it, kissing, saying dada TO dada, ball, cat and babbling ALL day long in baby talk from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed. Yells at us when she's mad. She fetches and throws the ball like a dog. When I say where is Baby Ava she does So Big and claps and waves hello and good-bye to everyone, clicks her tongue when we do, lots of other silly little things. Her latest thing is to laugh when people are laughing like she knows what they are talking about. She just started to say "Ka" for kaka (poop in greek) when she poops.

How much sleep at night and naps?
She takes a 2 hour nap in the morning and then about a 1 hour or so nap in the afternoon. She sleeps from 7:30 until 7:45 (waking up a few times for the nuk sometimes, well most times)

Any teeth?
7 teeth - 4 on the bottom and 3 on top and doc said molars are swollen.

How much and what are they eating?
She eats just about everything we give her. She is on milk now and no more formula and has her sippy cup with water throughout the day.

What is their favorite toy?
The remote, the remote and the remote. Oh and balls, she loves balls. And anything that plays music. She also loves her push car walking toy. Her latest thing is climbing up the stairs ALL DAY LONG.

I say this every month but the last few months really have been the best. She's actually communicating to us now and has such a personality. I fall more in love every day!

ETA: She will hold her sippy, and anything else you give her but does NOT want to hold her own bottle!

We've transitioned him to whole milk completely and he takes 3 bottles a day.. One when he wakes up (6-8 oz) one midday (4-5 oz) and one before bed (8 oz).. He drinks water/watered-down juice in a sippy throughout the day and w/meals.

He likes his big dumptrucks that he inherited from his cousins but mostly LOVES the remote, my keys, my cellphone and tupperware the most He has a definite preference for yellow toys (his rubber ducky, his yellow blocks/balls etc)

eta: every month that goes by, I say "I love this age" but I have to say that right now as he approaches his 1st birthday I could not be more in love and in awe of this little boy of mine.. he just makes me laugh and smile (and sometimes bang my head ) everyday This age is the BEST (well for now )

Re: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec '06 Mommies

How old?
9 months in 5 days

How big and what size clothes?
She was 18.5lbs at a dr. appt a month ago. I think she's probably topping 20lbs now. She's in 12 month clothing for most brands.

What are they doing?
She is crawling, clapping, bopping her head to music, pulling herself up on things, standing for short periods with assistance, climbing on pillows/over our laps/over her bouncer. She says mama and dada but it seems like it was directed to us only once each so far. She fed herself with a spoon for a couple bites.

How much sleep at night and naps?
She takes a one hour nap in the morning, then a 1.5 hour nap in the afternoon. She sleeps from 9:00 - 7:30am.

Any teeth?
Yes, she has 2. One on top and one on bottom.

How much and what are they eating?
She doesn't have many teeth yet so we are still on Stage 2 baby food and soft table foods like mashed potatoes, bananas, etc. She also eats Puffs, Cheerios and teething biscuits. She has about 25-30 oz of formula per day and a ounce of water in a sippy cup.


What is their favorite toy?
The dog, the dog's food, the dog's toys She loves her bouncing Tigger, this musical turtle thing and anything she can climb on.

Re: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec '06 Mommies

9.5 months

How big & what size clothes?
About 25lbs, 24 month clothing.

What are they doing?
Lance is crawling & pulling up on everything. He walks along the furniture, takes 1 or 2 steps & falls down. Says mama, dada, baba, dog, duck, and jack. Claps when he laughs. Points randomly. Calls the dog & feeds him all of his food.

He sleeps 7:30pm-7:30am. Takes one or two naps per day for 20 min - 1 hour.

Any teeth?
8 total, 4 top & 4 bottom.

He is very fussy. I just started feeding him meats, he does not like them that much. He loves yogurt, cheerios, goldfish, and cheese. So he has 5 small meals per day & 28-32oz of formula.

Our dog Jack!!! His stuffed duck. He also loves the fisher price radio, it drives me nuts.

Lance is doing really well. I too love this age. Things seem to be getting so much easier, finally! I'm happy to see all the babies are doing so well.

Re: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec '06 Mommies

How old?
10 months

How big and what size clothes?
20 lbs 28 1/4 inches at her 9 month check-up, she's wearing 6-12 month in Gap stuff. I bought 12 month carters fall clothes since her 9 month summer stuff seemed to be getting small and it's too big! I need to get her more fall clothes.

What are they doing?
She is crawling, pulling up to standing, babbling like crazy, screeching (so annoying - it hurts my ears), clapping, getting into everything.

How much sleep at night and naps?
Her morning naps are pretty good - anywhere from half hour to an hour and a half in her highchair reclined. Afternoons have been challenging. I usually have to go for a walk or drive to get her to nap. I've been held hostage in the car when she falls asleep in her carseat since she's not in the infant carrier anymore. At night she goes to bed around 7:30 and sleeps until 6 or 6:30.

Any teeth?
Yes, she has the bottom. The top 4 seem to be coming soon.

How much and what are they eating?
DD loves to eat. We're slowly introducing table food. I've been worried I'm feeding her too much. Breakfast is a stage 2 fruit, oatmeal (around 1/4 cup - a little less), a yogurt (sometimes she eats only half), followed by a handful of cheerios. Lunch is a stage 2 veggie, fruit, the rest of her yogurt. Dinner is a stage 2 jar of meat with veggie, stage 2 fruit. She eats cheerios throughout the day. She's drinking 3 8 oz bottles a day but doesn't always finish it. I'm trying to get her to take the sippy cup.

What is their favorite toy?
She has so many favorites. A big favorite is the fisher price train with the animals. She also loves her FP learning table, her leapfrog Lily, and LOVES all of her books.

How's your baby doing? Lily's doing great! She loves getting out for walks and seeing other people, especially babies and kids. We've been going to a weekly playgroup at different parks and I'm planning on signing her up for other classes soon. She is so much fun. I LOVE this age. So far it's my favorite.

I hope all of the other Fall 06 babies (and the mommies) are doing well. I love this thread. It's great to catch up with everyone.

Re: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec '06 Mommies

1 yr next saturday - I can't believe it...

How big and what size clothes?

How much sleep at night and naps?
she sleeps 7-7:30 with a one-1.5 hr a day nap around mid day

Any teeth?
2 - and just recently, our poor almost toothless wonder....but at least there was not any bad teething!

What is their favorite toy?
The remote, water bottles (empty or full), the leap frog maracas, anything muscial, shape sorts and any box she can grab and use as a walker....

He is walking and dances by swaying his shoulders back and forth. gives occassional kisses, gives a few mama and dada but mostly babbles, loves throwing things, pushes everying across the floor, climbing, sticking out his tongue and going tttthhhpppp then laughs. Loves clapping and when I sing the alphabet song.

How much and what are they eating?
Jack will eat everything. Whatever we give him, he eats. He's drinking an 8 oz bottle in the morning, a 6 oz in the afternoon and 8 oz at night. I also give water in a sippy and we're trying to transition him to drink his formula in there. Then we're moving on to replacing the formula with milk. I've given him almost everything, except honey, sweets (meaning cake, ice cream etc.) and peanut butter.

What is their favorite toy?
Empty water bottles, cars, and balls.
