@ 11 months

at last, a timely post :D

after almost a year, karol had at last established some sort of a routine:
* wakes up around 6am and starts his nonstop breastfeeding until he gets fully awake
(around 7am)
* plays with ate and lola helen until 9am (sometimes snacks on piskoty)
* eats breakfast (8-grain cereal or fruit puree)
* goes to playground (loves to swing), and sleeps before lunch (quite lucky if he gets more than 30 mins of nap)
* eats his lunch (which mommy cooked) or a favorite bottled food (which i think he prefers more, very picky eater)
* drinks 7oz (210mL) of formula
* playtime and naptime (again only for around 30mins)
* snacks or goes straight for dinner (depends on his mood and what time he went to sleep)
* bathes and drinks another bottle of formula (with daddy)
* goes to sleep (he now sleeps without being rocked/breastfed. but i still have to trick him into not standing or sitting up)
* sometimes wakes up during the night, but i just need to put him back down and he falls back to sleep.
* wakes up once to feed and stays on mommy and daddy's bed until the morning.

yes, he doesn't breastfeed so much anymore :( mommy is a bit sad. but he's a big boy now.

other updates:
* screams when he doesn't get his own way :D
* likes so much to play with ate alex's kitchen toys.
* loves to play ball, and can hold it with just one hand.
* still a lazy walker.
* has now 5 visible teeth, and one more looming around.

@ 9 and 10 months @

there's only one word to describe karol at 9 months -- emotional! it was really funny how he pities himself, drooping eyes and lips, and all. screams when you take a toy a way from him or if you take him away from his target.





at 10 months, he is more active. travels around holding on to furnitures and sometimes even lets go and stands by himself for a short time. but he's a lazy walker, he prefers to crawl. it was a crazy month, what with 3 upper teeth sprouting at the same time. poor cookie! was a real cry baby.
