10 Months

What! Does that say 10 months?!? Ah, where has the time gone? I guess I better start planning someone’s first birthday party soon.

 

Aedan, here is what you have been up to over the last month.

• You are 22 lbs and 28 inches long. Now that you are crawling, you are really starting to slim down. You wear size 3 diapers during the day and size 4 overnight diapers at night. You were size 12m or 12-18m in most clothes. Most of the pants are too long, but other than that everything fits you well.
• You have 6 teeth (2 bottom and 4 top), but number 7 is poking through on the bottom.
• You take 4 bottles throughout the day and eat 3 solid meals and an afternoon snack. I started to give you cheese this last month and you LOVE it.
• You love drinking water out of your sippy cup, but I tried some formula in one and you looked at me like I was crazy. But I’m not too worried, I think it will just take some practice and you will make the bottle to sippy cup switch pretty easily when you are closer to a year.
• You still eat pretty much anything we give you and this month you have started to try more finger foods. You have had veggie nuggets and corndogs as well as waffles, pancakes and breakfast bars.
• You wake up between 7:30 and 8 every morning and go to bed at 7:30 every night. You take about a 1.5 hour morning nap and then a 2 hour afternoon nap.
• You are a pretty busy guy. You love to crawl everywhere and over everything. You pull up on anything you can get your hands on and you love to play under the kitchen table.

 

• You still love bath time and I am pretty sure you would stay in there for hours if we let you.
• You think Hiro is hilarious especially when he comes over and eats the food you conveniently drop on the floor for him.
• You “talk” all the time. We take a family walk around the neighborhood every evening and daddy and I have a hard time keeping a conversation going because you are always interrupting. I have a feeling we may be in trouble when you start to actually talk.
• You play peek-a-boo now. Before I used to hold something up in front of you and you would pull it down, but now you hold a blanket or toy in front of your face and I say “where is Aedan”, you then pull it down and look at me with a huge smile – too cute!
• You love your wooden spoon. Even after all the cool toys you got for Christmas, the wooden spoon is your favorite thing to play with. You love to wave it around and bang on everything (including Hiro) with it.

Aedan, you are so much fun. You keep us on our toes but we love seeing your personality come out more and more each day. Now that you are moving around on your own, it is so much fun to watch you discover new things. We love you so much!!
