A slightly happier baby this week, although now he has random bouts of crying. Teething? I have no idea.

Likes: Toys, toys, and more toys

Dislikes: Sleeping (still); sitting on the living room side of the fence when I'm in the kitchen

Sleeping: All over the place. I thought we were getting better, but every night is a surprise. Hoping it will get better soon. He's taking naps again, so that's an improvement.

Eating: Raspberries and coffee cake are his two new favorite foods. Working on chewing harder foods. His favorite snack is currently goldfish. I made the mistake of giving him some of the goldfish left over from the twins summer. Now it's all he wants for snacktime.

Playing: We're been working on exploring new toys. He loves his walker currently, more playing with the front instead of using it as a walker. We've also read more picture books lately.

Medical Milestones:

Harder transitions between activities -- Not really seeing it yet...
Disliking being confined -- Check! He only tolerates the stroller when we're moving. Stop and he fusses.
Crying with loud noises, vacuum, etc -- Check! Pulling out the vacuum results in instant tears.
Object permanence -- Check! It's harder to "hide" snacks and remotes.
Responding to single-step commands -- Check! His understanding of language is getting better and better.
Grinding teeth -- Check! Ugh! It's the absolute worst noise in the world. And there's not good way to make him stop.

Out and About: We had a our usual weekly baby events (blanket babies, library visit, Deer Hollow Farm). Plus, we visited a new park (Washington Park) to check everything out. Then for the weekend, we attended two 1st birthday parties. Lots of fun!
