Connor: Ten Months Old

Dear Connor,

    You are 10 months old today and in the double digits! We can't believe how big you are and how much you have changed. You have learned to crawl, so you are all over the place now. You proved us wrong because we thought you would be content with rolling around and just skip crawling all together. We love when you crawl after us and then reach up for us to carry you. You have developed quite a voice too. You can say "Dada" and "Mama" but we aren't sure you know what they mean. We love to hear you say it anyways :)

XOXO,

Mommy and Daddy

*What you eat: You normally drink 4 bottles a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime). Sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night and we give you an extra bottle. You eat 3 meals a day. Usually cereal or pancakes for breakfast with bananas or applesauce. For lunch and dinner you eat a variety of things. You really like brown rice, tofu, beans, yogurt, macaroni, cheese, grilled cheese, peas, and carrots.

*Size clothes: You wear 12 and 18 month clothes. You are a growing boy!

*Favorite toy: Your jumper, stacking rings, interactive play tables, clothes hamper.

*What makes you happy: Taking a bath. We have started putting you straight in the water instead of in your sling. You LOVE to splash and kick your feet in the water. Your favorite toy to play with in the tub is your rubber ducky. Sometimes you sneak him out of the bathtub and take him with you to your room.

*Sleep: Oh sleep... Mommy and daddy miss it a lot. You have started waking up in the middle of the night a lot lately. You are normally awake for good at 6 or 7 and take a morning nap at about 9:30. You take an afternoon nap around 1 and then go to sleep for the night at 7:30. You like to stand in your bed and watch the door to see if we will go into your room and pick you up.

*Cute things you do: You give your daddy kisses by bumping heads.

*New things you have done over the past month:You love to clap when we say "Yay!" You have even started doing it on your own. You stand up by yourself while holding onto something. Sometimes you let go, but you fall right away. You started crawling. Since you have learned to crawl, changing your diaper is almost impossible! You have a total of 4 teeth now and chew on everything!
