Weight / Length: 30" and 21 lbs (guessing here). He is wearing some 9 month clothes (although it's becoming a stretch) but he fits mostly into 9-12 month now. I'm just trying to stretch the transition until the weather cools off.
Eating: We are still breastfeeding (yay!). He feeds himself most meals now. He does put up with me spoon feeding him dinner foods that are messy but he loves to be in charge of feeding himself.
Milestones/Development: He is walking!! He is a determined crawler, climber and walker. He climbs anything that sits still long enough and once he started pulling up I knew he was going to walk before his birthday. He still drops to a crawl to get somewhere faster but is eagerly figuring out how to walk as well. He babbles and imitates sounds and tone of voice. He loves to be in the middle of the action.
Helmet Treatment/Torticollis: We are still plugging away at this. I'm frustrated with it and sick of it and I think he's getting sick of it (he doesn't want to hold still and cries when we go to put it back on). Next appointment is September 10th so crossing our fingers again but I think it might be October or November before we get the go ahead to quit. Grrrrrrr! Happy to be able to help him but frustrated with how long it has taken.

Sleep: I started putting him in a fleece sleeper cause I thought he got cool in the middle of the night. For three days in a row he only woke around 1:30 am and then between 6:30 and 7 am . We'll see if this is the magic bullet.
Teeth: He still just has his two bottom teeth in. I think his top ones are shifting around but we still haven't seen them trying to pop yet. I kind of hope they'll wait until after his birthday and weaning is done.

Fun Memories (Outings/Events): We are hoping to go camping overnight but we'll see. We tried to do a weenie roast and smores up the mountain and that failed. He loves to crawl around outside with his sisters and he loves the swing in the back yard.
Challenges: Sleep and Helmet. Enough said.
Likes/Dislikes: He likes almost anything I give him. He loves to eat what we are having for dinner and everyone loves chicken pot pie (including Nolan). He does well with meat and almost all textures. He does okay with bananas now if they are cut up. He LOVES to go outside. He climbs everything and is so curious and eager to see and try new things. He is going to be a different type of child than his sisters to keep up with.
Looking Forward to: Being done with his helmet. Him sleeping better. Final preparation for Nolan's 1st Birthday.
