Tracker 12 Months

Weight: 24.8 lbs (87%)

Height: 32" (98%)

Clothes: Pants and shirts are 12-18 month and Jammies are 18-24 month

Size 4 diaper. Size 5 shoe

Sleep: Sleeping this past month has been just about the same as last month. He goes down between 7-8 and sleeps until 5am. We bring him in bed with us and pray he goes back to sleep which sometimes he will do. We have tried sleep training once again this last month as well as moving his naps around but nothing has changed. This boy sure is strong willed. I honestly cant complain much. I pretty much look forward to 5am every night just so I can snuggle that boy next to me. He is still napping twice a day but those naps are becoming shorter and shorter. All these Mums that tell me their kid sleeps all night and than takes a 3 hour nap during the day... WOW... I don't even know what I would do with myself. Perhaps get a few more things done around the house.

Eating: This boy can eat. He is pretty good about any new foods we introduce. He loves any and all fruit. He can eat an entire can of mandarin oranges, a container of raspberries and strawberries and blueberries. He loves yogurt, bread, mac n cheese, pasta, squash, zucchini and goldfishes.

He really will eat anything we give him though. He is becoming more independent when eating so I have had to get a bit more creative on how I prepare his food so that it can all be turned into finger foods and he can do it on his own. Meal time is very messy.

He love his bottle and I don't even want to think about the time we will be taking it away. I admit we haven't even thought of a game plan. He drinks water and juice in a sippy without a problem but its more ME that just doesn't want to think about him as bottle-less.

Likes: Our walks, the park, crawling on the grass, watching other kids play, wrestling, throwing balls, climbing, trying to walk, standing, peed a boo, swimming.

Dislikes: That he cant swim alone, that he cant run, when he is alone, when I take something away from him, when we are in the car to long, getting out of the bath, changing his diaper, the word no.

11 Month Favorites

Zizzy Bee Bags: I get the BLUUM box every month and these zizzy bee bags were in them last month. They are awesome. Its nice to have something to throw snacks, toys or clothes into. I want to order more so I can use them when I pack for my things.

Swimways Baby swim Float with Canopy: Tracker would live in this thing if he could. Well he would live in the water maybe not the floaty. I love this particular floaty because of the mesh. I like that its less likely to spring a leak, we can play rough with it and Tracker can bite at it as much as wants. I love the canopy. It really helps keep the sun off him.

Parum Pum Pum Drum: Tracker is all about banging on everything. This is such a fun toy to bang and shake. I love all of toys in this line from Target. They are so cute and so well made. 

Child Camelbak: I love my camelbak. Tracker has come to love it as well so we got him one of his own and he loves it. I was surprised he was able to drink out of it since you have to bite it in order to get something out but he can. I love that it doesn't leak.

Ella's Kitchen Cookies: Tracker gobbles them up. He cant get enough. They are easy for him to hold and eat. I love everything in Ella's Kitchen.

Playskool Busy Poppin' Pals: This will keep T busy for hours. I open them and T closes them over and over. A classic toy that every child should own.

Leather Hackey Sack: Tracker is obsessed with balls. Any kind and any size. We have found hackey sack balls are the best for his tiny chubby hands. He can throw them, carry them all around and are the perfect little size.
