Nine Months!

Philip is officially nine months old! He has four teeth and currently cutting four more (I expect one today or tomorrow). He is our pickiest eater but still does quite well. His favourite foods are yogurt and raisins.  For all the pushing and struggling we did to get him to breastfeed I think he will be our longest nurser. Philip does NOT take milk in a cup. He loves water in the cup and takes milk in a bottle no trouble but he won't take the milk in a cup. Like I said, he's picky. 

I'm not sure on Philip's height and weight but he is wearing size 12-18 month clothing so he's certainly bigger than the older two. He says Mama and Dada and waves Byebye. He is very persistent and charming and plays really well by himself or with his brothers. 

Philip sleeps 7-6:30 at night and has his first nap around 8:30. This is just a 45 min nap and he goes down again around 11:30 or 12. This second nap is generally 1.5-2 hours before he naps again for 45 mins around 4PM. So far, he has been breastfeeding 4 times a day with a bottle just before 7PM. He eats every meal and snack with the rest of us. 

So there you have it! Your update on Pip :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last Friday (Oct 10) Philip took his first unassisted step! He's only taken one more since then so he is far from what I would consider "walking". But he is well on his way and he is continuing to prove his strength.

The Many Talents of Silas

Today, as Silas, Philip and I walked to Ezra's school to pick him up, I asked Silas, "What do you think you are good at?"

This is the list he gave me, in this order. The only prompt I gave home was, "Anything else?"

Blinking

Pooping

Sleeping

Building roads

Having a dragon party

Walking on tip toes

I'm very encouraged to know that he is aware of his many talents. 

Market Me!

I sold some art at a market on Saturday. It was a ton of work but also lots of fun. Handed out a LOT of business cards and spoke to a LOT of people. The things I learned were immeasurably valuable.

Thanks for all the help Rob!

Preschool

Silas started preschool last week and so far it's going great! He does English on Thursdays and French on Fridays. It's the same program Ezra did when he was three so we know the program and the teachers well. He is very proud of himself for being able to go to school and really likes it. On his first day he came home at lunch and said, "I have two girlfriends- no! They are just two girls that are friends with me. Not my girlfriends." So funny that he knew that meant something different! Each day his class has put on a little concert for the parents at pickup time, which is adorable. It is very strange for me to just have Pip by himself for two and a half hours but also lovely. 

I asked him to give me thumbs up but he wanted to do "peace" instead (something he learned from his caretakers while we were in Italy). 

Philip Climbs

So...this is the second time this has happened (to my knowledge). As soon as I was done taking the video he fell and I barely caught him. He is a busy boy!
