10 months


Little man,
You are at such a fun age right now! You are crawling everywhere and into everything! You like to put shapes into your tree house shape sorter, put the basketball through the hoop, jump on your trampoline, and play with the animals on your farm. 

At ten months you..
-are sleeping through the night in your crib (mommy rocks you and you are in bed at 8, sometimes you wake up between 530-630 to get in our bed, but some mornings we have to wake you up around 7)
-standing on your own (until you realize what you're doing and then you grab onto something)
-saying mama, dada, papa, nanna, (all the time!) and uh oh(once!)
-celebrated your first Christmas (you woke up at six am to see if Santa had come, we sat you down in front of your gifts and you started clapping.) Christmas is so fun when you are a kid, but sweet boy, nothing compares to the joy of Christmas when you have a little one. This was the best christmas ever. You made mommy and daddy smile all day. 
-got your 7th tooth (1-2-14)
-you love to sing (and dance, especially to theme songs!)
-you're becoming pretty sensitive (it's like your heart just breaks when someone tells you no)
-I think you're going to be walking soon. You love cruising around on all of your walking toys from Christmas 
-you are eating lots of table food (Mac n cheese, chicken, green beans, ham, cucumbers, you do not like turkey!)
-had lots of snow days with mommy (we slept in late and stayed in our pjs all day!)
-doing so much better in your car seat (We switched from your infant carrier to your convertible seat this month)
-they say most babies nap best where they sleep at night, but that is so not true for you. You will only nap in mommy and daddy's bed when you're home

9 Months

How is it possible that 9 months have flown by since I first held you in my arms?  You always crawl right into my arms at bedtime. I love that, but other times it's like you turn into jello because you want down to play, and it's hard to hold you! You are a busy little man these days. We love watching you explore around the house and play with your toys. You really love splashing in the dog's water bowls. 

At 9 months you have 
- celebrated your first thanksgiving 
-climbed a couple stairs at your Pops house
-played in the snow
-went on your first antibiotic (you had croup)
-you are cruising around the couch and will let go to stand by yourself
-still sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed and waking up a lot throughout the night
-wearing 9-12 month clothes and size 4 diapers
-weigh 20 pounds (45%)
-29 inches (85%)
-18 inch head (70%)
