Clothes:  He is slowly moving to 6-9 month clothing with most of the 3-6 month being phased out. 

Diapers:   He is fully in size 3 diapers now.

Sleep:  He is back to waking up about 3 times a night, eating, and the going back to sleep most of the time.  Every once in awhile he will only wake up twice, and sometimes he doesn't go back to sleep right away.  He does think that 5:15 is a good time to wake up for the day.  On the weekends he eats about every 2-3 hours.  He is napping great at daycare still and still napping in my arms at home.  During Christmas break Granny and I worked on napping in a bed.

Eating:  Now that he is at daycare I nurse him during the night, once before work (he has gotten so he won't do this anymore most of the time), he gets about four 5 oz bottles at daycare (usually eating most of all of them), then I nurse him once mid-evening and once before bed.  He started eating a ton at daycare over the last few weeks.

Our Day:  Our day is about the same as the past few months.

Looks: A little more brown hair and his eyes are starting to change with a little brown ring in them. 

Milestones:  A little bit of tripod and normal sitting, lots of smiles and laughs

Firsts:  First Christmas and first night away from mom and dad (we went to KC for New Year's Eve for a wedding and left the boys with Granny and Grandpa for the night).
