11 months
Oliver has adjusted pretty well here on Maui. The first couple weeks were definitely chaotic & tiresome, but we are now on a good routine. He finally has started sleeping through the night (which we are SO THANKFUL to Sean & Hannah for letting us borrow their crib!), it has helped tremendously! And he takes about 2-3 naps a day (depending on how tired he is). His routine goes something like this:
Between 6-6:30am Wake up
Breakfast is usually an 8oz bottle with some fruit mixed with oatmeal
play time until 9-930am, then he takes a nap
Between 10-10:30am wakes up
snack is usually mashed avocado or apples & blueberries pureed
play time then lunch around 12-12:30pm
sometimes he wants another bottle (we have started giving him a little water...LOVES IT!)
nap around 2-2:30pm
wakes up around 4:30pm then play time/snack
dinner around 7pm followed by a bath & bottle before bed which is 8-8:30pm
I decided to try & weigh him on our scale, so I really do not know how accurate it is :) But the scale said 18.5lbs... He still can fit into mostly 3-6 month clothing, with a few 6-9 months (depending on the brand). He really doesn't play with his toys. Instead, he LOVES anything that we have out! For example: He loves throwing all my mom's nail polish containers on the ground, hitting all the buttons on the remote control, taking the ceramic coasters & banging them on their nice, wood coffee table! Haha... So pretty much throwing anything & hitting things against something else ;)
Oliver is in love with water. Total beach/pool baby! He literally cries whenever we take him out. He loves to splash or kick the water & makes this cute little face while he does it! When it is bath time he splashes so much that Matt & I are completely soaked by the end! Another funny thing is that he doesn't like grass! I guess it is not soft enough for him ;) Every time we put him on the grass, he lifts his legs/feet up and won't put them down! Crack up every time!
I am trying to savour each & every moment because time literally is flashing before my eyes! Soon, he will be off to college & I will be in his dorm room balling my eyes out begging him not to leave... Ok, a little dramatic, but you never know what might happen ;)
