Looking back:
- December 19th, he had just figured out crawling.
- January 2nd, we noticed his first tooth.
- February 7th, Daddy discovered Sydney's fifth tooth.
- February 8th, he started climbing up the side of the playpen.
- February 12th, he took a few first steps without holding onto furniture.
- February 17th, he walked alone from one person to another and would attempt short distances on his own.
- March 1st, Sydney walks by himself; looks like Frankenstein with his arms extended.
- March 12th, Sydney is starting to give up the Frankenstein-style walk.
- March 18th, he adopted a new (goofy) laugh.
- March 20th, he started to point.
- March 21st, Sydney can stand up without holding onto anything and walks 75% of the time.
- March 22nd, his SIXTH tooth (another upper) broke through his gums.
Sydney also plays Peek-A-Boo, Pat-A-Cake, claps his hands or sways his body to music, and proudly throws his arms high into the air for SO BIG. This past week, he also figured out how to drop the ball(s) into his tunnel toy - causing the toy to giggle; hence, his new goofy laugh was born. He also likes to push his baby-approved cars (or other toys) across the floor.
Thankfully, he still likes to hold onto our hand(s) sometimes.
Sydney LOVES Sesame Street! We watch it a few times a week and he is fascinated with that show and its puppets. (We think it is helping him to be so smart!)
On more than one occasion today, he was signing the word MILK while he breastfed.
We're working with him to establish a better bedtime and naptime routine. He has NOT been napping well for us for quite a while now, but everywhere we read, he SHOULD be napping TWICE daily. We are now ATTEMPTING an afternoon nap, to lay down between 2-3pm and sleep for more than 20 minutes. (Yesterday was 2.5 hours in the afternoon!)
As for bedtime, we are working to make that better, too. We hope that he will eventually be able to fall asleep on his own and will (hopefully) go to bed willingly.
