Eating

You have 3 bottles - when you wake up, before your afternoon nap and before bedtime. Sometimes you get one after your nap but we've been having juice/water from the sippy cup lately. You are getting the sippy cup down but still want to play with it more than drink from it. You tried a lot of new foods this month, mostly whatever we were eating for dinner. You like oatmeal, waffles, scrambled egg, blueberries, green beans, string cheese, any bread and of course, you still love your Cheerios. I do think you are 90% Cherrios, 10% other food but at least your cholesterol will be good :)

Sleeping

You are doing better than last month but now that you decide you want to roll back over to your stomach at night, it's helped. You still wake up a couple of times but things are getting better. You still go to bed around 8:30pm - 9:00pm and get up around 8:00 am. You do much better when you have your morning nap and your afternoon nap is down to about 1 hour & 1/2 now that when you wake up, you want to sit up and play in your crib. I walked in Monday and you were standing in the crib waiting for me - crib is being lowered now :) I was convinced last week that you required no sleep to function because one of us was tired and that was me!

Other fun things

You want to stand and walk all of the time. You will walk around the coffee table, exercauser, walk along the couch, behind your walker toy, anywhere you can hold onto and go, you will. I wish we had more room because when you are walking behind your toy and you come to a wall or place where you can't go anymore, you get mad because you just want to keep going. You are wanting to crawl but I do think you will walk by yourself before you crawl and that's ok. Sometimes you can pull yourself up and sometimes you can't get that last push to get up but you try so hard!

No new teeth that I can feel yet, you don't let me check very often so I have to do a clean sweep when I can. You love playing with your two bottom teeth though. Either your finger is on them or your tongue is playing with them. You still are the drool master too. All. The. Time.

You still talk all the time and still very loud for all to here. Your laugh is contagious. We can't help but laugh when you laugh because it is so cute. You say "dada" and "bye-bye" non-stop and wave at everybody and everything. You like to give "high-fives" too. You love it when someone sings Patty Cakes and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! I love singing it to you!!

Look at you Grow!

Happy 10 Months Mallory! We Love You!
