11 Months!

This past month was a little slow with new discoveries, but a HUGE one was made. Ian figured out how to cruise around. He took his first step at Christmas and starting going for jaunts around the living room soon after the first of the year. Since he started walking, he hasn’t kept as still. He’s still crawling a little, but he’s walking everywhere he can.

Ian’s fourth tooth will be popping through soon. You can see it in his gums and he’s feeling the teething pain, which has been messing with his sleep. He still isn’t sleeping through the night, but he is sleeping longer. We’ve started up his bedtime routines again and he’s generally asleep and in his crib by 8:30 every night. When he isn’t in pain, he’ll generally sleep until 3am before getting up to assure himself we’re still in the room. He doesn’t get a bottle or a changing at night, so it doesn’t take too long to get him back asleep. That’s a plus. Even though I’m still getting up with him at night, I’m sleeping better and so is he. When he’s teething, then everything is tossed up into the air.

We’re starting to plan his first birthday and I think I know what we’re going to do. So for those who are coming, look for the invites.
