9 month old baby jack

Baby jack Is growing like a weed. Time is flying by and I can barely keep up. Just 3 months and he will be 1. 
Jack is mainly in 12 month clothing but can fit in a few 9 month things. At his 9 month appointment he was 20 lbs 5 oz. we didn't do height and head because they did it at 8 months. He is in the 50th percentile for basically everything. I went in with a few questions. One was his reflux. We increased his dose to 45mg a day vs 30. He has been up at night for weeks now. Usually 4-6 times I have to go in his room. I'm hoping to see a difference soon. The other question was about sleep Apnia. I think he might have it. He often stops breathing at night and it startles him to wake up. He also makes a very loud sort of high pitches snore. Very weird. His dr referred him to a sleep specialist. I'll be making that appointment tomorrow. Everything else was great. 
As far as milestones. He is so close to crawling. Just not quite there yet. He rolls from back to belly all day. He loves floor time. I have to be so careful though with Emma. She is a little rough with him. He's tough though. He takes it like a champ. Won't be long before he's charging her and beating her up. Hopefully Emma takes it as well as he does lol. Jack is always moving. When he sleeps he moves. When he starts crawling and walking I'm gunna be in big trouble. That's why I'm ok with Him not being an early mover. He is babbling a lot. I have heard a few mommas but mostly dada and baba and Gaga. Main thing is he's putting the letters together. His sister didn't really do this until much later but she was crawling at like 7 1/2 months. They are complete opposites. Although over time jack has taken up Emma's short temper. He gets very agitated very quickly. Separation anxiety is big right now. I step out of site for 1 sec and he screams like he's being stabbed. He's a mommas boy for sure. I love it though. He's my little man
Sleeping sucks, he's up every 3 hours usually. I just don't have good sleepers. I have grown to accept this. I'm extremely sleep deprived though. He has slept through the night twice now. I imagine it was just a fluke though. I hope it happens on a regular basis soon. 
Jack seems to always be sick. We are getting over strep right now. Yep babies can get strep but it's just not strep throat. He has anal strep. Emma was up puking a night last weekend and it ended up being strep throat. Dr said it would be rare for jack to get it but he decided to test him anyway since he had a rash on his butt. Sure enough he had strep. 10 days of antibiotics for the both of them. I ended up catching it too. I hate it. Anyway back to jack. He always has something going on with his health. I hope he starts catching a break soon. I know with Emma in school she brings home lots of germs and that could be why he's always got something. 
Jack has cut a total of 6 teeth! He doesn't do well with teeth. It really bothers him. Ibuprofen seems to constipate him but it's usually the only thing that helps. I just want all these teeth to come in already so my baby can get back to being happy all the time. 
There isn't much else going on. Christmas is next weekend so I'll try to post again then. 
Florida trip!
Halloween
