10 months old!

We’ve officially hit double digits – 10 months!!  You are getting more fun everyday, and constantly learning new things.  It’s so exciting to see the world through your eyes, and I know this will only get better as you get older.  You’ll get to experience vacations, birthdays, Christmases and so much more.  I love watching you grow and really love this stage!

Aaden's stats:

Feed:

You are starting to figure out how to shovel food into your mouth!  You were a little slow on this front, but you seem to be getting the hang of it now.  You INHALE your puffs, and your fruits and veggies.  You’ve also tried grapes, peas, hamburger, chicken, pizza crust, a nibble of Mommy’s grilled cheese, apples, pears, mashed potatoes, noodles and scrambled eggs.  I think in the next month you will really take off with your diet!  An the two teeth you sprouted this month will only help.  You’ve started eating a ton before bed, which has helped you to sleep through the night!

Weight:

At your recent visit to the pediatrician you were exactly 17 lbs. Still on the light side, but starting to make up some ground. 

Length:

28.75 inches

Diaper Size:

Size 3  and now you need “overnights” before bed.

Clothes Size:

Your Gymboree and Gap brand 3-6 months clothes pants are too small, but the shirts fit perfect.  You need 9 mo sleepers/pants from Carters.  We have some 6-12mo shorts from Gymboree and they fit, but slide down your hips. You are still so long and skinny!

Hair Color:

BLONDE, and getting much longer and thicker!  You got your first haircut last weekend too! You did so well, sat there and hardly moved while the lady combed and cut your hair.  Only a few tears were shed, at the beginning. 

Eye color:

Blue

Highlights:

You are starting to show a slight interest in crawling, but really you’ve already mastered rolling everywhere (and fast!) (Update - as of July 3rd - you are a crawler!  An army crawler!) You love playing with your toys and trying to play catch with Mommy and Daddy.  You love to pet your puppy and give hugs and kisses!.

You got two teeth this month too!  And you’re still drooling up a storm.  You love to chew on things and always have a toy or your fingers in your mouth. 

You spent 4 days in the hospital, and gave Mommy and Daddy quite a scare.  See it here.

You are back to sleeping all night, and we are so thankful! 

You learned to wave this month – and would be the Walmart greeter if we let you.  You love to wave at everyone, and at a restaurant recently we were seated near the door.  You sat and waved at all the people coming and going.  You are such a ham and definitely know you are cute and “work it.”

You are babbling away and quite interactive. When you are awake you are going 100 miles per hour, and then you crash, hard and fast.  You are all boy in that sense.

Peek – a – boo is your favorite game. And you love when Mommy or Daddy sneaks around a corner with you to surprise the other. You giggle and grin so big as soon as we start tip-toeing. We always know you are coming by your heavy breathing (of excitement) and giggles.
