Baby to Toddler

Kyle is 13 months old now.....another month flew by!


He is slowly becoming more of a toddler than baby, so amazing to watch! A little bittersweet still though slowly getting away from all the baby stuff...bottles, bouncy seats, toys ect! It all happens so quick...one day he's all baby and the next its like he just magically turned to a little big boy in ways! He's still a lil guy at 27.5in and 19lbs(by our scale..woohoo) He's little but with a big personality!
He throws fits now, hits his head on things or throws himself back....not hard though thankfully! Its quite amusing for us to watch, his face is priceless.....he really thinks he's making a point! hehehe

He now only gets 2 bottles a day...in the morning and bedtime(I haven't a clue when we'll drop this one though!) Rest of the day he gets his sippy! He's been off formula since maybe the second week of Dec so shortly after his 1st birthday! Again we slowly added whole milk and less and less formula...he did great and loves milky just like sissy did! And again just like sis he isn't fond of juice so its water or milk to drink! Edited - 1/17 daddy switched his morning bottle to a sippy...he was a bit mad at first but took it and we haven't went back! The next couple mornings he was still a little mad about a sippy but there is no going back now! So we are down to just a bed time bottle!
He eats about anything now! We still get some baby food mostly just for a take and go meal if needed! We'll chop up meats and veggies for him and he eats it up! He loves variety and doesn't want to eat just one thing in a meal. He loves oatmeal with fruit in it for breakfast and again we have to mix up what we flavor the oatmeal with or he gets bored and won't eat! hahaha He eats all three meals and probably 3-4 snacks like a champ....he likes to eat!

Sleep thankfully has gotten better! Since October we've been struggling....between learning to crawl, teething and being sick it just threw his body off! But since the 1st of Dec our lil man has slept better and better! Past couple weeks he has his bottle around 8:30, one of us rock him for a few and then tuck him in...He'll wake up between 5:30a-6:30a the next morning! Yes its early but hey it ALL night sleep, we are early birds anyway! Maybe our next step will be sleeping a bit later!

Learning is still the same really! He's not walking yet but that's totally ok with us! He is letting go of things and getting his balance and learning to climb on things. He jabbers all the time, laughs, smile and is just all around happy! He is only cranky when sleepy or hungry! We are still trying to get him to say sissy or sis sis anything for sissy, she can't wait for him to say it! He know what a dog is, he'll go to one of the dogs and say dog dog..so cute!
Edited - Over this past week 14-19th Kyle has taken more and more steps! When he's not super excited he can take several steps and sometimes he'll even just go on his own! Pretty sure within in the week or so we'll have a walker!
