Otso's 11th Month

Summary
Otso is fairly happy, though he is starting to express frustration more. More than anything, he loves walking around with the assistance of an adult. We have had a strange month with his sleep, with some great nights and some horrible ones.

Events
23.8 first top tooth (left incisor)
30.8 children's museum
31.8 hike at Ytraberget with Diego, Gemma, & Fam
31.8 first (and hopefully last) poop in the bathtub
4.9 hair trim
14.9 playdate at Irene's
15.9 tooth (top left lateral incisor)
18.9 tooth (top right central incisor)
18.9 vaari and leena arrive for a visit

Development
He loves applauding.
He loves to be "walked" around (walking while holding onto an adult).
He loves to climb up to standing.
17.9 he took a few steps holding on to the walker toy.

Toys/Games
He enjoys crawling over to the bookshelf and pulling books off and dumping them on the floor.
He likes to hit any 2 toys together. He loves to be spun around.
A favorite game is "drop the baby" where I say "drop the baby!" and pretend to drop him but catch him at the last minute.
18.9 first time making a "vrooom" noise while playing with a toy car


Eating
He eats more than Lumi does. To be clear: not more than Lumi did at this age, but more than she eats now. He loves to use his own hands to eat, so that makes purées difficult. We still do manage porridge sometimes. When he is sick, he eats almost nothing but breast milk and his pre-bed yogurt.
Favorites: pears, cheerios/murus, ground beef, shredded chicken, salmon, eggs, yogurt


In an attempt to do baby-led weaning type feeding, I tried making "porridge fingers". He hated them.

Sleeping
He naps very well in the stroller outside. The typical routine is to walk for a bit with him in the stroller then let him sleep in the driveway outside the office window while we check on him periodically.
20.8 woke up many times during the night crying. at one point the diaper leaked and i took off the wet pajamas
21.8 trying sleep sack again because it feels cooler
25.8 horrible night of sleep again
28.8 decided to nurse at night again because he was sick and not sleeping. 
1.9 last night he slept great and only woke up to nurse once
7.9 back to bad sleeping and nursing all night. i hope it's from teeth, which would mean that it has an end date. 

Health
26.8 woke up (after awful night) with a runny nose
29.8 runny nose again
12.9 fever and runny nose and cough. Vomited in the evening

We have a bit of a diaper schedule: the first 2 diapers of the day are prefolds, because they are the most absorbent and that's when he pees the most. Then we switch to the pocket diapers (fuzzi bunz or charlie banana) or the flip diapers if we are out and about. At night we use a disposable.

Stats
Clothes: size 86 (18 months) in most brands. 

Teeth: 4 (top left central incisor 23.8, top left lateral incisor 15.9, top right central incisor 18.9)
Weight: 9.7 kg
Length: ?

Random
Sometimes his penis gets stuck in his belly fat, pointing up.
