The week after his birthday I was determined to get him to sleep through the night, because I was just plain tired of getting up 1-3 times every night!! I knew he could do it because he was big enough, so I asked the doctor what we could do. She said to just give him a sippy cup of water and lay him back down, maybe give him a snack right before bed to fill him up. She said it may take about a week before he gets used to the new schedule and may cry 45 minutes or longer at first, but he'll get it. So that night I tried it and it really wasn't all that bad and by the 4th night he was sleeping COMPLETELY through the night!!! Woohoo, I'm still not sure why I didn't try this sooner! I also wanted to completely get rid of the bottles since we were planning to move over to North Carolina, I just wanted to pack all the baby things away and put them in storage when we went to Idaho. So that same day that we started the night sleeping routine, we nixed the bottles and he's been bottle free ever since and doing great!!!
We have started teaching him a little bit of sign language and he now knows "Please".
The walking thing hasn't quite started yet, which I think I'm okay with. However, he is getting really close! He has started standing on his own the last few days for a few seconds. I have a feeling he will be walking in the next couple weeks :/
Here are his stats:
Height: 29 3/4" (50%)
Weight: 22 lb 11 oz (50%)
Head Circ.: 18.5" (75%)
My step-mom took some pictures for the boy's yearly pictures this year. They turned out so cute!! Here are my favorites of Tyler:
