Woo Hoo!

the sprout, who up until this point has thought sippy cups were only for chewing and banging, drank 4 ounces of formula from a cup tonight!!

(picture me doing the happy dance here)

he also has completely finished the transfer from two naps to one that he started 2 months ago. he now naps pretty reliably at 1pm and USUALLY sleeps for at least 2 hours. (yes, yesterday he only napped for 1 hour and 15 minutes but that is not the norm)
sadly he still hasn't gone back to sleeping through the night. ever since that horrible illness he had at christmas he has gotten up in the middle of the night. it started out as 3-4 times a night and now we are down to one. he almost always has to eat to go back down. we are in the process of making those bottles smaller and smaller hoping to get him to not need the milk at all. hopefully this will work. (keep your fingers crossed!!)

and several of you mentioned how big he looks. he doesn't just look it- he is big. he is starting to wear 18 month size clothes already, for goodness sake!

i just love the age he is at right now. he is just suddenly becoming aware of so much more, discovering things, and learning new things. he has this wonderful joyful face that he makes. he giggles and laughs and is just the happiest little guy i have ever had the pleasure to know. what a lucky mama i am! :)

and he doesn't like me. :( sigh.

But I still like him and think he's the cutest little man! :)

He is a handsome little guy -- what a lucky mama you are indeed!

Oh yes you are! And don't worry Brittany, A Free Man's Boy Z didn't like me much either but he's starting to come around now (at 16 months).
That Sprout is such a cutie.
