10 Month Birthday - Milestones

10 Month Baby Milestones (and/or a record of things the baby currently does)

Woah, I'm actually finding the time to blog on the day of his birthday.  That should say something about how our lifestyles have changed these 10 months.

That said, it is a Saturday, and the baby is napping, and he could wake up an any moment, and New Mom took this opportunity to hit the grocery store...

And the dog now wants out!  BRB..

Back. I better type fast.

10 month milestones and stuff include:
(Apologies in advance if this is not interesting to you - ie: you are not the parents of a 10-month old baby, and/or us)

-Baby has 7 teeth.  That's one more than last month.

-Crawls a LOT.  Into the dog's bed is his favorite place to go.  Might explain the flea bites.

-Can go from a crawling to sitting position.

-Stands with assistance.  Sometimes for a minute or two.

-Really wants to crawl up the stairs.  We really need to block those off...

-Sleeps from 6:30pm or 7pm to 4:30am or 5am

-CLAPS his hands when we sing "Happy and you Know It (If You're)"

-When planes fly over, he reaches out his arm to grab them.  He doesn't succeed in grabbing them, but he does succeed in being really, really cute.

-Has tried lots of food - New Mom would be a lot better at filling this part in... I know he eats cooked eggs, figs, persimmons (grabs them and chews them whole), baby cereal, yogurt and figs - did I say figs" yet?

Something I haven't mention on this blog is bathing.  We're still lying him down onto a large sponge-bed.  Not sure when this will change.  Should probably look into it.

Can't believe he's slept this long to allow this long of a post.

Better not press our luck.

Stay strong, parents.

Milestone - Crawling and sitting up

Maybe it wasn't today, maybe it wasn't yesterday, but sometime this week he learned how to crawl and then sit up on his own.

I think it was Sunday, actually.

Or maybe not.

Parent brain!

(And parent joke, by calling it "parent brain")

Milestone - Crawling (4 real)

This actually happened a week or two ago, we just haven't had time to blog about it...because we've been chasing that boy all over the house.

You'd think if you just crawl, you can't get very far.

Well, you'd be wrong.
