9 months old - already...

No new pictures today, just a couple of him in the vertical position he now favors. I'd like to say he's getting big, but he's getting EVEN more active and starting to lose a little weight - only a little so far. He can eat too - about 28 to 30 oz of formula a day (including the nighttime feedings we can't seem to get rid of) and 3 meals; breakfast is 4oz of fruit and cheerios or some other dry cereal. Lunch is either a 4oz veggie or meat with 2 oz of fruit or 4oz veggie with mashed bananas. Dinner is essentially the same as lunch and all include dry cereal or dry fruit since he wants to feed himself. Plus I know daycare gives him snacks the 3 days a week he is there. Is this normal???? We go for his 9 month appointment in a couple weeks - it seems the likelihood that his vaccines received in ET didn't do the job is pretty high. So we have to think about a new vaccine strategy...BUMMER, but we'll get it taken care of.
Otherwise this little guy is amazing - he is so strong and so alert....and now is awake, no surprise it's bottle time.

AT LEAST IT'S NOT A MINIVAN.....

I can't believe we bought a station wagon... Here is the plan, actually keep this car for 10 years - ANY BETS OUT THERE...really truly that's the goal! Wish us luck.....

HOPE...need I say more...

The cutest baby ever

Just a quick update. I am at lunch right now, seems like the only chance I get right now. Kiddo is busy, busy...He loves his daycare (he's only there 3 days a week right now) and he's crawling, climbing the stairs, pulling up on anything and everything. He still loves walks in his stroller and enjoys being outside as much as possible. He definitley has an affinity for trees. His little feet have improved greatly after 8 weeks of his misery. The scabies treatment actually worked! Didn't even remotely look like scabies and was mostly on his feet, but we are thankful he is feeling better. He is even sleeping better; only waking up for bottles and sometimes only one a night (I wish we could do that every night). He is gaining weight, they weigh him every time we go to any doctor and he was 17 lb 4oz last week. We'll see when he does his 9 month appointment in a couple weeks if things change much. He eats 3 solid meals a day and is experimenting with anything I can think of. He seems to like everything, but some textures take practice, ie: watermelon. That's it for right now....
