Here we are again, another month has passed. This past month has been a whirlwind: sickness, teething, pulling up..... oh my! You are now 10 months old - double digits, my love. Speaking of double, you my dear are a
double handful!
Daily Life. You're into EVERYTHING you can get your
hands on. Your attention span for any one toy is about 5-10 minutes and
then you're on to the next best thing...mommy's iPhone, remote controls, the iPad, Daddy's phone, more remote controls. We've tried gifting you every toy remote control and play phone out on the
market yet you only want the real deal...surprise surprise. Favorite activities
right now include riding on your Pink Poodle, taking all
your toys out of your toy basket, checking your mailbox on your play house, standing next to the door looking outside at Louie, watching Mickey
Mouse's Clubhouse, and dancing to music. You love to help me in the
kitchen, especially when it comes to emptying cabinets and banging pots
and pans...such fun, such fun. I am now one of "
those moms" - I
practically let you do anything, as long as it's not harmful.
Milestones, Big and Small. You're still crawling, but are no longer doing so army style- yes my dear, you're finally crawling with your tummy off the floor. You've started
pulling up on everything, attempting to open every cabinet and drawer we have,
and cruising back and forth from pieces of furniture. You will let go and stand by yourself for a split second, freak out, and then immediately sit down...it's
hilarious. Your vocabulary now includes
mama, baba {bottle}, and
Da-Da. You love to share your food and toys with us. You will feed us one puff after the other, all the while smiling and laughing because you know you're being oh so sweet. Sharing
is a life lesson it took your mommy a lot longer to master and I hope you
are better at it than me.
Such a Personality. You wave all the time. It
doesn't matter where we are...the grocery store, restaurants, the church...if you see someone you think all attention should be focused on
you and you get irritated if someone doesn't go ga-ga over your
cuteness.You've gone from babbling a lot to saying
mmmm-mmmm non stop.

Growing Pains. This past month we had to venture to the
doctor for your 9 month check up...ugh how I loathe those days. This day happened to coincide with a very bad case of bronchitis. We made our first trips to the E.R. {two within 12 hours}. You were one sick sweet pea. After loads of meds, and even breathing treatments, you finally started clearing up. We kept you home from all social functions for the rest of the month from fear you'd catch something again.
All About The Food. We changed your routine up a bit this past month to get you on track
with eating four meals a day and lessening how much formula you drink each day.
You eat oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, have a mid-morning snack, veggies for lunch, fruits in the afternoons, and yougart with fruit/puffs for dinner. We are soon going to start introducing you to more solids. You sleep about 10-11 hours per night, going down around 8PM
and waking up at 7AM and take two 1.5 hour naps each day. You also have 2 teeth {
more on the way}and show them off with those huge smiles you give us!

Everyone has told me this is their favorite "stage" and I can see why...it's like you're this little person now and I am constantly
mesmerized by everything you do. Daddy and I both look forward to the weekends so
we can have time together as a family of three.
Looking back at old pictures, its hard to believe you were once so little. It seems like so long ago.
{10 months - 10 weeks}
We love you, toodles!
