Ian Week #48 Battle Report

Ian is 11 months old!

He can raise himself up to a standing position at the coffee table and maneuver around it, crawl very fast, and ascend stairs with ease. Going down is still prevented since he prefers a heads-first approach.

He has no teeth (Maia had her first at 8.5 months) and no words, although he just learned to form the word "Ohhh" so it sounds intentional. Now we can pretend to feed him fun facts and have him say "Ohhh" as if he just learned something new. He loves to eat: carrots are in decline in favor of carbs, yogurt, and bits of food off the adults' plates.

His phase of screechiness never went away fully, and it becomes his go-to mode when annoyed or tired. He gets upset pretty quickly and is full of emotions. He takes a solid morning nap (1 - 2 hours) and a questionable afternoon nap (0 - 1.5 hours), and he usually sleeps for about 11 hours overnight.

He likes toys that have wheels most, followed by toys that play music. However, he still doesn't like bass tones as evinced by the Saturday night neighborhood party that emitted a reggaeton bass line until 11 at night and kept him awake in his crib.
