CHASE,
Today you are 10 months old. 2 months from your first birthday and I can't believe how fast the time is going. You are such a joy and blessing in our lives and we love you so much.
You have been so busy this month. Here are some of the things you're up to.
Look at those curls!
You are still wearing size three diapers. You wear 9 or 12 month clothes.
YOu wave feverishly at people and you get so excited about it. You also love to clap and you sign the word "more" when you are eating.
You are sleeping pretty well. You go down about 8 pm and get up between 6 and 7 am. The past week or so you have been having trouble getting comfy after your last feed. You wiggle and squirm making our last cuddle time for the day tough. You usually take two naps in the day. One around 9:30 or 10 and a longer one around 1. Sometimes you skip your first nap. You are starting to sleep in your crib at nap time but you have to be asleep when I lay you down.
You sleep well while you are sleeping but I don't think you are going to be as good of a sleeper as your brother.
When you wake in the night, as long as your are comfortable and okay, we let you cry it out and it really seems to work.
You like to play with your books and toys but you really like people to stay around you.
You started crawling and there is NO stopping you now!
YouYou only take formula from Nanny.
Your daddy calls you Mr. Wiggles because you wiggle and squirm when we try to get you dressed or change your diaper.
You are a happy little guy and you are always smiling.
Even though you're on the go you love to sit with us and cuddle.
You stand unassisted for a few seconds.
You pull up on things with a little help. Once you're up you love standing and playing.
Your brother entertains you so much. You are always smiling and laughing at him. Unless hes ripping a toy out of your hand. Which he does quite often.
You have had a really runny nose and and lots of drool this month. We keep thinking those top teeth will come in soon but you still only have two!
You love table food. You love crackers, mc n cheese, and banana the best. You don't love tomato or watermelon.
A lot of days you skip at least one jar of baby food because you eat table food.
You love books but you don't let us read them to you.
You bite! I just know you are going to be a biter.
You love being outside. You love to have the wind blow through your hair.
Everyone comments on your bright blue eyes. They are beautiful!
When you eat on your own you shove food in your mouth with the palm of your hands. You are so good at feeding yourself and so cute to watch. You look so happy when you get a big yummy bite.
We are working on a sippie cup. You are not really good at getting anything out of them and usually just flip it upside down and play with the bottom of the cup.
You are so stinkin' cute!
