10 Months

10 months already!  Time is flying by!  Our biggest change this month is that Peanut has dropped her late evening nap.  Her schedule is now:

Wake: 7:30-8:30

Breakfast

Nap: 10-12

Lunch

Nap: 2-4

Dinner

Bedtime: 8:30-9

Sometimes the evenings get a little long, but she is pretty happy as long as she has had good naps during the day. 

One bad thing is that she is not as much of an on-the-go napper as the other two were.  If we are out and about she will catch a 20-30 minute nap rather than her 2 hours, and she doesn’t usually make it up creating a bit of a crabby evening…for all of us!  Haha :)

BUSY is the best word that describes her these days!  She is into everything, and is everywhere!  She is getting very fast and is no longer content to sit in the pack and play.  She wants to be free to roam and find anything and everything she can get her hands on!  I can put her down in the living room and within 30 seconds she is in the kitchen.

She looks really long to me in this picture! I can tell she’s lengthing out, and her hair finally is too!  At least on top.  Daddy calls it her “comb-over”. :)

She is a happy happy girl!  The other day she wasn’t feeling well and fussed and fussed and made me realize what a typically easygoing baby she is!  Most of our days are filled with smiles and giggles!

She is eating anything and everything these days.  We give her bits of whatever we are eating and she loves to feed herself.  She’s not too fond of being spoon fed.  Favorites are : bananas, cheddar cheese, peas, carrots, cheerios, mac and cheese, and any type of bread or cracker.  Long noodles were recently introduced and she seems to enjoy both playing with and eating them. :)

She is starting to try different sounds and I’m pretty sure I heard an “uh-oh” yesterday.  That is always one of my favorites. :)

At mealtimes she is LOUD!  Like pierce-your-eardrum yelling!  If she sees food on someone's plate that she doesn’t have she makes it known that she wants it!  We are trying to get her to sign instead of screeching, but so far no success.

We’re lovin’ life with our busy busy baby!  I can’t believe we’re closing in on a year already!
