10 mos old

Height: 

Weight: 21ish lbs??

Your sleeping patterns are: you are a great sleeper at night! Mommy & Daddy are so thankful for that! you have kept the same bedtime routine since last month and are doing SO much better at taking your naps. You typically like for me to rock/bounce you for 1-2 minutes then Mommy lays you in your bed and you go right to sleep. If you whine it's only for a minute or two and then you are out. For your first nap it's usually an hour or so, then during the afternoon nap you sleep anywhere from an hour to sometimes 3 (depends on how worn out you are). By the way you love to have a paci in your mouth and then one in your hand, it's the sweetest thing to see in the mornings when Daddy brings you in our room.

Your feeding schedule is: 6:30am- 7oz bottle; 8:00ish- you have started eating whole bananas cut into tiny pieces along with Cheerios and some fruit puffs for breakfast & still eating pureed fruits some mornings; after your first nap- 6oz bottle; after your second nap- 6 oz bottle; 5ish a veggie, maybe some chicken or ham (or whatever we are eating if you are capable of eating it) & a 6 oz bottle; around 8pm you take a 7oz bottle and go to bed.  First time to have a little bit of apple juice I mixed it with more water than juice and you seemed to like it. No sour faces coming from you, unlike your brother who still makes them to this very day if he drinks anything other than milk and water. OH, and you LOVE to lick/ eat on popsicles that Mommy or Daddy are eating.

Your likes & dislikes are: likes: TO CRAWL!! You somehow taught yourself to crawl with one leg down and with your hands, it's the funnies thing but you are able to go super fast! You love to find R and see what he is doing, then he proceeds to love on you and it ends up being a wrestling match for him. (insert frown face from Mom) You love just about any toy, mainly ones that you can chew on. 

Daddy can finally put you to bed now and you are ok with it! :)

FOOD: pancakes, bananas, pureed squash & pureed pears, applesauce, grilled cheese, baby puffs, bread, ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, goldfish, french fries (bad Mommy), rice, hamburger meat. 

 dislikes: when R wrestles you (I don't blame you one bit); when someone takes something out of your hands that could potentially hurt you if put in your mouth; when Mommy walks away; having your diaper changed on occasion.

FOOD: pureed green beans & pureed peas, scrambled eggs (tried them once & not a fan), real/cooked carrots, strawberries, broccoli, noodles.

Your favorite toys are: bath/ pool toys to chew on; baby pool--you like to sit, splash and play in it; walking toys; any of R's toys, you love pulling all of his and your toys out of the baskets in the den.

By the end of 9 months old you are learning to: walk around the room using furniture to hold on to; you are able to squat and stand up on your own without holding onto things, you can stand up for quite some time on your own (no steps have been taken on your own just yet). The day before you turned 10 months old we left for Destin and spent a week on the beach. You had the time of your life and adapted so well to being away from your bed and your home.
