This past month has been so much fun. Leland and growing and changing so quickly. He is about 22 pounds and a little over 30 inches. He wears size 4 diapers mostly because he rear is a little wide, otherwise the size 3 would still fit fine. He is in a size 5 shoe and wears 12-18 month clothing. Though he has just now gotten tall enough for 12 month pants.
Leland continue to talk more and more. Some favorite words this month are “bird” and “boat”. There are both birds and boats in some of my paintings around the house and he likes to look at them and talk about them. He has started identifying birds in pictures elsewhere as well.
Leland took his first steps on August 4th and has just taken off since then. He tentative toddle has turned to a full on run. He wants to walk everywhere now, rather than be carried. He also loves his shoes. He brings them to us and asks us to put them on him. I think he hopes that if we put his shoes on that we can go outside. He loves to play outside so much lately. I am hoping to find an outdoor play set at the upcoming consignment sale.
I stopped pumping this month. Leland still nurses 3-5 times per day, usually on the higher end of that. He nurses (most nights) sometime between 2-4 AM, first thing in the morning, after lunch, (sometimes) an afternoon snack between 4-5 PM, and again before bed. When we are together on the weekends he will sometimes just ask to nurse at random times. When he does this it is usually just a “sip” and he is back to playing. I find it very sweet that he now asks to nurse when he wants.
Leland now has 3 teeth. His top two front teeth came in this month. We had a few days of awful teething but once they really broke though he has been much better. He still has just one tooth on the bottom, but he recently lost the “tooth cap” that was next to the real tooth so the other one may be on its way in soon. When we saw the “tooth cap” appear last November (when Leland was just 4 months old) we thought that he was getting his first tooth. His first pediatrician even told us he would have a tooth any day. When he still had the “tooth cap” and no tooth at about a year, his new pediatrician explained that it was just a “tooth cap” and would fall out before the tooth actually come through.
Adventures this month include another plane trip to Florida and a new cousin. At the end of August, we flew to Florida again to visit my parents. Leland was teething while we were there, but otherwise we had a nice visit with Nana and Granddaddy. Then, on September 3rd, we welcomed Leland’s first younger cousin and his first cousin on daddy’s side. Leland did great visiting with his little cousin in the hospital. He loved watching him get a bath in the nursery and showed no signs of any jealousy when we were holding our new nephew.
