This is what you have been up to my lil man! :]
-You are in size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes. You are such a long lil fella and built like Daddy :]
-You have a total of 8 teeth!! 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom yaaay! And I will say those suckers huuuuurt when you have accidently bit my finger before ouch!
-You are now pulling yourself up on things. This includes: the couch, coffee table, the chair, Mommy n Daddy’s legs (which I love), and the TV stand.
-You are crawling and moving around oh so fast… sometimes so fast I can’t catch you quick enough :]
-You loooove crawling and lately you have been wanting to walk around the room with the help of Mommy or Daddy holding your hands. Sometimes you get mad when we stop doing this- you love it so much!
-You seem to try to get into anything you can and most of the time it is something you shouldn’t be getting into!!! I am constantly running left and right after you lil boy :]
-You are starting to babble and talk more and more each day. You now say- Hi, Owwww, Baba (this is the number one word), uh oh, and you will say Mama and Dada at random times too. Lately you have really just been saying “gagagaga” when you go on and on with your baby talk and noises. You also say “ooooo” a lot and point at something with your lil finger :]
-You are constantly smiling at everything and everyone, as well as laughing and giving big ole cute smiles to Mommy and Daddy :] We have heard so many people say how much you smile and are such a good boy and it makes me even more proud of you every time I hear someone say it to us :] You are such a friendly lil guy!
-You now wave bye bye to people and you also clap your hands when we say good boy, yaaaay, or sing patty cake! It’s so cute! You also make the “ah ah ah ah” noise with your mouth by putting your hand over your mouth and moving it back and forth!
-You now are also drinking out of a sippy cup. We give you sippy cups with juice and then you still are on 3 bottles of formula a day too. One in mid-morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. Soon we will be working on switching that to 2 bottles a day and erasing out the afternoon bottle. This is going to be hard for me because lately you want Mommy to feed you and snuggle with me and rock you. BUT hey we can do that with sippy cups too :]
-You will feed yourself finger foods, and then your puffs, cheerios, yogurt bites, etc too. It’s so amazing you are learning how to feed yourself oh so quick!!!
-You eat three meals a day- baby cereal in the morning, lunch, and then dinner too. You are eating all table food now. You want nothing to do with baby food unless it is fruit baby food. You love love love- mac n cheese, apple sauce, grilled cheese, any kind of rice, mashed potatoes, fruit loops, cheerios, yogurt bites, and animal crackers!
-Some of your favorites are- riding the tractor, watching Praise Baby, you still love your jumperoo, playing with any toys of any sort at anytime, playing with the kids I babysit, crawling, standing up on things, your binkys, throwing a ball (as good as a baby can throw), babbling, laughing, smiling, you love love music and rocking back and forth to music, you love to play in the play tents we have downstairs and you get so so tickled it’s so cute and funny, you love to eat and are not a picky eater, you love to cuddle, you love love to be outside so much, love watching the trees outside, and lately your new thing you really like is Daddy’s drum set he just set up. You love to sit on one of our laps and play the drums… and I must say you are so good with hitting the right spot on the drum with the drum sticks :]
-As of right now, I honestly have no clue when you will be walking. One thing on this is the fact that I do not want you to walk yet because that really means you are no longer a baby. With as fast and random that you learn things, it could be tomorrow- or a month from now! We will see!!! I know you are going to love walking though since all the other kids at our house but Cami can walk! (I believe Wyatt is encouraging you to walk more haha)
-I am really excited for the holidays to be here for one reason because I love the time of year anyway and for two because I really want to see how much Eli likes Christmas lights, the snow, the Christmas tree (kinda nervous he may try to pull it down on himself ha), and then of course the Christmas music and opening gifts- it’s gunna be soooo much fun!!!
I can’t believe my baby is 10 months old!!! I have already started thinking and gathering stuff together for his first birthday! CRAZY how fast time flies!!!
Elijah Andrew you are my pride and joy and make my life even more complete then I ever thought it could be! Your Daddy is one great person, and I am so thankful for him each and every day. I look forward to being home with you every day and sharing those moments with you every single day. I also look forward to your sweet Daddy coming home every day for 1- I am so excited to see him and be with him the rest of the evening and 2- to see your sweet face light up! I am so thankful for such a good and healthy lil boy! You are so wonderful!!!! If it wasn’t for your amazing Daddy and you, I would seriously not be the person I am today. Being a Mommy and a wife is one of the best things to ever happen to me! I am so excited to think of your lil future with Mommy and Daddy and how you will be such a great big brother someday! We love you so much baby boy :] HAPPY 10 MONTHS!!!
