At 9 months Ty weighed 17 lbs. 3 oz. and at 10 months he weighed 17 lbs 11 oz. He is in the 5% in weight which is a concern. He is an active little boy and reaching all his milestones, he is just a toothpick. There are several factors associated with his drop in weight: He is teething, he is a picky eater, and he's also not getting enough milk since mommy is loosing her milk and he REFUSES to take a bottle. I have tried everything to put weight on this kid. I put butter on bread, cream cheese on bagels. We try giving him anything high in fat like fries and pizza. You name it we have tried it. We just want our little Ty to eat and put on a few pounds!
Since eating is a problem, sleeping has become a problem. He sleeps through the night but he thinks the day should start between 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning. (and I thought 6:00 was early, these days I would take it!) He has decided he only needs one nap a day even though he is exhausted. He is very strong willed (I'm not sure where he gets it from HA HA!) He is determined to get his way. As hard as I try to get this kid on a schedule he just won't allow it. Ive decided that I'm broken (either that or he is, maybe I need to trade him in for a newer model.)
On a happier note Ty started crawling on Oct. 5th. He trades off between the monkey crawl and the regular crawl depending on whether he is on the hard wood floor or the carpet. Ty has started to stand up to everything and taking a few steps while holding on. He falls constantly which would explain the permanent bruise he seems to have on his head. On Oct. 4th he popped his first tooth. A few days later he popped another one. He has 2 bottom teeth.
Some of the fun things he does is shake his head even though he doesn't understand what it means. He makes a mamama sound. He likes to make a popping sound with his mouth. He also gives us kisses but with an open mouth.
He loves to play with the big kids in their room. He also LOVES the tub. As soon as the water is turned on he leans over the tub ready to jump in. He scoots all over the tub and loves to splash. I get completely soaked.
Our little Ty is growing up too fast!

sounds a little like a boy I know- Parker. He has been in the 3-10th percent for weight for a while, but we just keep fedding him and he just keeps running. Glad to hear things are going well.
