Rylan is getting better and better at pulling up on things. I usually leave him downstairs when I take Carter up for his nap. Usually he just plays with some toys, crawls around and explores, or just sits and screams for a few minutes. Last week when I came back downstairs after about 2 minutes, Rylan was up on the first step. I need to put the gate up back up at the bottom of the stairs!
Rylan has also been pulling himself up to standing sometimes. He doesn't stay standing for long and doesn't really like standing when we hold him up, but he's at least doing it a little more. I think Rylan will be so much happier when he gets more mobile. He's fussy a lot (a lot more than Carter was at this age) and I think he's just bored.
Rylan is pretty much over baby food. He'll eat some but he'd much rather eat cut up table food.
Rylan is STILL not sleeping through the night. My plan is to just cut him off from contact completely here in a few days. I think we'll just have to let him cry anytime he wakes up before 5 am. I'm not looking forward to it because getting up and nursing him when he wakes up takes 10-15 minutes and I'm half asleep through it. When we let him cry at night, he'll scream for up to an hour. And a lot of times he'll only sleep an hour or so and start all over again. So I've been bad and feeding him at night so I can sleep more but I'm also super tired all the time because I am getting up at night with him, even if it's not for too long. It's time we figured this out!
Rylan loves to play peek-a-boo. He's like Brian and rubs his eyes a lot. When he's doing this, he'll suddenly remember he likes peek-a-boo and cover his eyes. Then he throws his arms off to the side and smiles at you.
Rylan and Carter get along pretty well. The usually do best when I'm in a different room and leave them to play on their own! But there are many times they want the same toy and then there is a lot of screaming. Carter will just take things from Rylan (sometimes he tries replacing the thing he wants with anther toy) and then Rylan (if on his stomach) will launch himself forward and head-butt Carter. And then they both start screaming. Rylan isn't usually strong enough to take things from Carter but he does try and gets really mad when he doesn't succeed.
Rylan has started pointing and grunting at whatever he wants. He says mama and dada some, but I'm still not really sure he knows what that means.
Rylan is maturing and changing a lot right now! I can't wait for him to start walking!!!
