William 9 months old

Well third children get the short end of the stick. I haven't kept track of William's milestones as well as I did for Andrew and Aiden, but at least with an iPhone I get lots of pictures. Here goes my attempt to update the last three months. William's sleeping has been very inconsistent, we have tried a lot of things to improve it but nothing has made much improvement. Finally at 8 months we put him in his crib and let him cry it out. After about a week he realized sleeping at night was good and has been sleeping pretty well ever since. At 7 months I started eating dairy again and Will seems to have grown out of any problem he had with it, yay for me (and him). William seems to have a very strong gag reflex and an adversion to the texture so it has been a struggle to start eating baby food. He has tried a few fruits and veggies and some rice cereal but he doesn't care for most of it, he tried avocado pieces and seem to like it but then he spent the whole night throwing up. William has 2 teeth that popped up around 8 months which is helping him chew on chunks of food. It seems that baby mush is the main problem with his distaste for food, he like eating slices of cucmber, banana, and few other foods. Mostly recently he tried some baby cereal puffsand bread, and then proceeded to have an allergic reaction to them (throwing up and swollen eyes). After some benadryl he was fine but it looks like he will need some allergy testing to figure out what the problem food is. William's biggest achievment as of late is crawling. He started at the begining of March inch worming along and within a few weeks he has almost master the "crawling position".

William 8 months old!

William 7 months old!

William 6 months old

William is 6 months old now and more active then ever. He weighs 17lb 6 1/2oz (49%) and is 27 inches long (75%). William is so close to rolling from back to tummy and he is working on a little scooting, mostly backwards though. On Christmas day he tried a little pureed sweet potato. William was not impressed and neither was his skin, his chin broke out in a rash. He does love to try sips of water from a cup or sippy. Will still loves to be swaddled but it doesn't seem to help him sleep through the night, he did however sleep 9 hours one day this month then back to 5 hours. He is also mastering sitting up which makes him smile very wide!

Halloween

William 4 months Old

William is 14lb 10oz (26%) and 26 inches long (85%). He is so easy going and smiley. William loves to be tickled and play peekaboo, especially with his big brothers. The only time he ever cries is in the car a little. He is working on rolling over from his back to his tummy, but he isn't quite there yet. William is starting to bounce in his jumper a little and he seems to love it!

William 3 Months Old

William is 3 months old! He is doing well, he likes to be held most of the time but he's pretty content to lay in his crib and watch his mobile spin. William still loves to smile and sometimes cue, he loves eye contact and talking with people. He is still a good sleeper, lately he has been sleeping for a long stretch on his own and then spending the rest of the night in bed with me, but no more hourly wakeups.
