Sullivan is 11 Months Old!




























* Sullivan weighs about 20 pounds.
* He wears size 6-9/6-12 month clothes, and he wears one-size cloth diapers (size 3/4 in disposables)
*He is crawling everywhere! He will either crawl in the traditional sense, or he will drag one leg behind him, just like Fisher did.
*He is so close to walking! He'll stand alone, and also go from a sitting to a standing position without any assistance. He'll also hold on to objects and stand up. He's taken "half steps", but then goes down to the floor to crawl.
*He is a paper magnet. He will find paper anywhere and immediately put it in his mouth.
 * He nurses every 2-3 hours. When he takes a bottle, he'll drink 5-7 ounces.
*He still has a great appetite. I think the only food he won't even put in his mouth is broccoli.
*He will occasionally drink water out of a sippy cup, but only if someone holds it up to his mouth. Otherwise, he just chews on it.
*He loves taking baths, the vacuum cleaner, balls, and anything he can chew on.
*He loves the TV remote-chew it, throw it, hold it...
*He is a pincher and a biter! I'll be holding him and he'll bite my shoulder or pinch my chest. It hurts!
*He is still a mama's boy. He will scream bloody murder if I leave him, unless he's distracted. If I'm in the kitchen and he's in the living room, he's banging on the baby gate to get in!
* He is now a wonderful sleeper! He sleeps through the night about 95% of the time, and he generally sleeps about 12 hours. If he does wake up, it's just to nurse, and then back to bed. He's taking one afternoon nap, and that usually lasts 2-3 hours.
*He has eight teeth! Four on top and four on bottom. I think he's working on getting more, but nothing has come through yet.
*He smiles and talks all the time-he is the happiest baby! He loves to laugh and giggle.
*He is ticklish. Anytime I poke him in his armpits or on his tummy, he laughs.
*His eyes are hazel-they're beautiful!
*His vocabulary is growing! He now says "dada", "byebye", "ball", "choo choo", "boo", and "YaYa".
*He loves to clap and play peek a boo. He'll throw the towel over his head and pull it off.
* He and Fisher are...brothers. :) Fisher loves to hug and kiss him, and will then turn around and smack him for taking his toys. I have a feeling they'll be like this their whole lives. :)
* Nicknames: Sully, Brother, Bug, Brother Bear, "lil fella" (Fisher came up with that one)
