Lynx's Ninth Month - February 2018 - Walking with a walker!

Lynx had a great February, despite the cold!

He really wants to move now, so I am trying to figure out how to let him do that and keep him warm.

Happy Birthday to our friend Coralie!

Everyone loves a box filled with balls - even Bear. 

Fun at the Badlands!

Adorableness.

We enjoy going to IHOP whenever we get the chance! 

Daddy makes the best snowmen!

Above is a photo of Lynx's unique style of crawling.  And, here's a video of the same!

Lynx is 9 months old!!

February 22, he was 8 months and 12 days old, and started walking with a walker!

February 24, he got his second tooth - on the bottom left.

February 25, he said, "Hi, Die!"

February 25, he climbed a full flight of stairs!

Sleep Schedule Update: Up until now, I had been going in for a "dream feed" at 10 pm, hoping that would help him sleep through the night.  He had been waking up around 5 am, so I'd get up, feed him, play with him for as long as he wanted, and then we'd both go back to bed, sometimes.  This resulted in a nap "schedule" that was never a schedule.  Sometimes he'd nap until 9 am, sometimes only until 7. Which threw off his afternoon nap, or eliminate it entirely.  I think this was hard on both of us. 

But, at our nine month appointment, Dr. Smith told us that we don't need to wake Lynx to feed him.  This, along with daylight savings time, changed everything.  We re-sleep trained him so he'd sleep through his 10 pm feeding.  Instead, he wakes up around 4 am....but always falls right back to sleep until (get this) 7 am.  Hallelluia!!  He takes his morning nap around 10 am, and his afternoon nap around 2 pm, and all is right with the world.

I have renewed energy and focus.  I keep having to remind myself that I am not Wonder Woman, even if I feel like I absolutely must be.
