Espen has made a lot of big developmental leaps this month. Most importantly of course, he said his first word: mama (heart bursts). It started with him making the sound mam mam mam mam, but then when I left the room, he said mama. Pete heard it too! It was on Thanksgiving so I was super thankful. :)
He's eating an enormous amount of food, with at least 2 meals of oatmeal and fruit/veg a day. He's getting closer to crawling? Maybe? He gets on all fours and rocks now. It's so funny how different he is from Lucia: she was standing at this age! Like unassisted standing. We looked at old pictures to prove it. But he will get there when he gets there. He's sleeping more and more thank god, and has a crop of new teeth coming in so he likes to get up early to chat and chew, ideally around 5 a.m. He's getting chubbier and chubbier, which is really cute. He's still nursing 7x a day (or having breastmilk in a bottle) but he's getting wiggled and easy to distract, which makes some sessions tough. He's gotten on a great schedule with two fairly long naps a day. And he has more hair. We can't believe how fast time is progressing. But man we are in love with this little man.
