Quillan Isaiah: Nine & Ten Months Old

Quillan (Quilly BooBoo) is now ten months old. He weighs around 17-18 lbs (17 at doctor's office, 18 at home) and is 28 inches long. He wears mostly size 9 or 12 month clothes. He is still mostly bald with a few reddish strands coming in. His eyes are still blue. 

He eats lots of different foods, pretty much anything except peanut butter, honey, and desserts. He likes almost everything he tries. He still nurses for the majority of his meals. And he nurses to fall asleep at night. He likes soothies pacifiers. He sleeps through the night almost every night (unless he's teething or doesn't feel well) and still sleeps on his belly in his crib. 

He crawls all over the place and is getting pretty fast at it. He pulls up on everything. You can tell he wants to be able to stand/walk but isn't there yet (whew!) He has learned to climb stairs though. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth! We have to watch him constantly. He does lots of babbling but no real words yet. He says "bababa" "dadada" "mmm" "aaaa" "ttttthhhhhh" and lots of other noises. He loves to play by banging things. He smiles and laughs all the time. He's a very very easy going baby! 

 Over the last two months he has cut his first two teeth! The two bottoms in front (central incisors) He's been sick almost the entire two months with a snotty nose and on and off cough. I brought him to the doctor for a suspected UTI at the end of last month but that was negative, thankfully. 

He's tried lots of new foods, including macaroni, strawberries, pancakes, cucumbers, pickles, meatloaf, blueberry banana baby food, spinach, scrambled eggs, sausage, green beans, tator tot casserole, grapes. He also snuck a bite of his brother's peanut butter and jelly sandwich (no allergy!) and an M&M. Sneaky boy! He was quite pleased with himself after tasting the M&M. 

Last month he went swimming at the Y for the first time as well as went into their daycare for the first time. He did great being left there. He also got to visit the Great Wolf Lodge earlier this week (more on this later) For now, I will leave you with some pictures of the past two months.

Jacob's Monster's Inc 5th Birthday Party

For Jacob's 5th birthday party he wanted a Monster's Inc theme. We ended up changing the date of his party at the last minute so that my aunt, uncle, and brother could all come, as they were up visiting for Thanksgiving.

For food, we had spaghetti with meatballs, sandwiches, warm fruit salad, and a few Monster's Inc snacks like cheez-its and chocolate chip cookies with MI pictures on them. I put skewers with stick on eyeballs on them into the meatballs to make them look like monsters and cut and assembled the sandwiches to look like monsters. It was a lot of fun to do. We made a green punch (strawberry kiwi hawaiian punch mixed with sprite) to look like Mike from Monster's Inc. I also made green and blue jello squares for Mike and Sulley.








The cake I made was very simple. I made a circle cake and decorated it to look like Mike. 


I also made Mike ice cream sundaes out of mint chocolate chip ice cream, whipped cream, and hot fudge. 




For decorations we made Mikes out of paper lanterns. Matt bought a HUGE Mike balloon and a Sulley balloon. 






We played two games at the party. The first was Pin The Eye on Mike. The second was throwing sticky eyeballs on a monster. Everyone had a lot of trouble with this game but it was still fun.










After the games, Jake opened his presents. He got lots of nice things, too much to list! Then we had cake and ice cream. It was a fun party.
