You are double digits now! Only 2 months until you are 1 years old! I simply cannot believe it. I am busy planning your barnyard themed first birthday party. You & Sissy will have a combined party. I have booked your first birthday picture session complete with a cake smash. I hope you give us some wonderful pictures!
You are as sweet as you are destructive. This month you chewed your footboard and one of the sides of your crib. I just about died when you chewed your footboard because your crib will be your full size bed when the day comes. I scolded you in a firm voice and you began to cry. I felt bad but it was so naughty.
We did so many fun fall activities this month! Pumpkin carving, painting & trick or treat! We played in the leaves and enjoyed the yard this past month. You went out to "play in the snow" (aka sitting in stroller watching sissy play).
Sleep: Still doing great. You got to bed at 7/7:30pm and still until 7/7:30am (sometimes 8am). You take a morning and afternoon nap.
Feeding: Still nursing 4x daily. You love to eat & always like new foods. You enjoy feeding yourself but have no problem being spoon fed. This past weekend you had your first scrambled egg and you loved it! You also had french toast, mandarin oranges, homemade sweet potato fries & American cheese this month.
Last week I had a clogged milk duct on the right. I had the chills at night but never ran a temp & you could feel a hard lump in the breast near the nipple. I read online that the best thing to do was to nurse often. You were absolutely fine with this. It took about 4/5 days but it is completely gone now.

Firsts:
*10/31-First Halloween
*11/2-First Trick-or-Treat
Check-ups:
*The results from your finger stick at you 9 month check-up showed that you are slightly anemic so you are now on a vitamin with added iron. Your sister had this same issue when she was a babe but it went away as she got older and ate more table food.
*I brought you for your hip x-ray last week. I had a sick feeling as I was loading you into the car. The idea of something being "wrong" with you just broke my heart. I never want you to be in pain my love. You were a great boy at the appointment. They had you lay on a table and took 3 x-rays total. You had to wear a little shield over your male parts because of the radiation. I got the call yesterday that you x-rays were completely normal. Thank you God!
*You eczema spot behind the knee cleared up nicely but returned a few days after we stopped the medications. Dr. M said this would happen.
