Stats: We are weighing 16.4 pounds, wearing size 3 diapers and 6-12 month size clothes, 6 teeth (2 top, 4 bottom).
Eating: Nursing around 4-5 times per day and eating 3 meals and 2 snacks. You've moved on from mommy spoon feeding you, sometimes you'll oblige, but you primarily push the spoon away. You prefer feeding yourself and eating what we are eating. More times than not, you toss the food to Brody. You like chicken, asparagus, padta, cream potatoes, carrots, broccoli, beans, lentils, cheerios, blueberries, mango, pita bread.
Sleep: We are taking 2 naps, 1 hr to 1:15 each. Yes, you still nap on mommy unless we are wanting only a 30 min nap. I try keeping your wake time around 10 hours everyday. Night you are sleeping from 6:30/7pm-4/5am, nurse back to sleep,
awake for the day by 7am. We've hit a bumpy road with you being sick with a double ear infection, bronchiolitis, teething and finally learned how to roll from back to tummy. For the past 2 weeks I've felt like I have a newborn again! Staying awake for 2+ hrs in the middle of the night, not wanting to sleep. Mommy couldn't let you 'cry-it-out' with you not feeling well. We did a lot of pick-up/put-down until you finally went back to sleep. Thankfully

you are starting to get back on track. Knock-on-wood!!
^^ 3am. You were awake until 5am. Went to the Dr that afternoon to find out you had a double ear infection :(
^^ First 'real' cold/virus
Likes: You still love baby dolls, watching Vivian's every move, shakers, bubbles, swinging, mommy flipping you, being held, being tickled, smacking your lips, blowing raspberries, playing with Vivian's toys, people watching.
Not a fan of: The vacuum cleaner, not seeing mommy, being left on the floor for too long, wearing hats/bows, teething (you are a horrible teether), sitting in your high chair for too long.
Milestones: You are deciding to learn new skills at night in your crib. First skill, rolling from your back to tummy. You didn't know what to do since you aren't a fan of being on your stomach. You kept pushing up on your arms which was causing you to move backwards. Daddy flipped you back, but you weren't a fan of that. Since the first night of flipping, I've just let you figure it out. You'll either fall back to sleep on your stomach or make it to your side or finally back to your back. Second skill as if 5:42am this morning, going from tummy to sitting position. That brought a big smile on your face and then you were like, 'what the heck, now what do I do?!' You eventually feel backwards and hungout until I got you. You are wanting to be mobile, but just don't know how. You'll reach for something that's away from you, rolling onto your knees in an 'Indian style' position, then you'll plop on your tummy to reach for a toy. You don't like being on your hands and knees either. I'm sure we'll go straight to walking. I'm in no rush!!
So hard to believe you are already 10 months old! You are an absolute sweetheart and you light up our lives. We are so darn lucky to have you!!!! We love you sweet buttercup!!
