Interesting Tidbits
- Ivan is getting a bit of an attitude and lets us know when he doesn’t like something, but he is happy most of the time
- Sits and does not fall over
- Ivan rolls over both ways – can make some distance in the room just from rolling
- Two teeth
- Eats lots of purees – his favorite is peas.
- He is saying more syllables – strings them together (gagadada is his favorite)
- He is talkative mostly when alone, or with just one person. Immediately stops if someone else starts talking to him (so polite)
- stopped sleeping through the night this month, but is getting better
- Was too sick for his surgery in December; rescheduled for January 22
- Cries when he sees me at daycare (until I pick him up)
- Loves his daycare teachers (lights up for them)
- First Christmas
- Got a real crib for Christmas!
- This month we still think he looks like Emily – but clearly has mike’s jaw line, ears, long legs, and mouth – blonde, fuzzy, curly hair.
