Ten Months....

Holy crap! Is my baby REALLY 10 months old? Where did the last 10 months go? It seems like just yesterday that she was born and now here we are at almost one year old. Craziness. I've been wanting to start writing letters to K every month, but always forget so no time like the present.



Sweet Baby K,
I can't believe you're already 10 months old. Time is just flying by and I have enjoyed every single minute of being home with you. It just don't seem possible that you came into this world a 3 pounder and now you're so big! What are you up to this month?
  • At your last check up, you were 15 1/2 pounds and 26 1/2 inches long
  • You're scooting on your butt and trying to do the army crawl, but not quite there yet - this makes keeping you in one place a real task -- I kind of miss those days when I could lay you down and knew you'd still be there when I came back.
  • You're saying "mamma" and "papa" and clapping your hands -- grandma sings you a song about potatoes in Spanish, so I think that's where the "papa" comes from ... daddy is anxious to hear you say dada
  • You're still pretty much EBF with 2 meals of solids mixed in -- you love apples and pears (anything sweet) and you tolerate most veggies
  • You're now snacking on table foods -- mommy and daddy can't eat unless we share with you -- and you love your Plum Organics Puffs and Mum Mums
  • You have 2 bottom teeth and are cutting 3 more at the top all at once!
  • You like playing with just about everything BUT your toys - wooden spoons, hangers, anything. Mommy can't leave anything within reach because you'll scoot your little butt over to it
  • You're sleeping through the night for the most part, but sometimes wake up to nurse around 3 am which comes awfully early when you don't go to bed until 10:30 - 11 o'clock
  • Your naps are hit-or-miss some days you'll take a couple long naps and others you take 15 minute cat naps
  • Changing your diapers is a real struggle since you're quite the squirmy baby
All in all we are quite amazed at your progress. You've come such a long way since you were born. Can't wait to see what the next month brings.

Love you always,
Mommy
