So 10 months! WOW! I have a 10 month old! geeze...its so weird to think of when i first met taylor, my FRESHMAN year of high school, that this is where we would be today. Every morning when Leighton wakes me up at 7am by clapping her hands and bouncing up and down in her crib its like a big giant slap in the face, a HELLO MEGAN, LOOK AT HOW BLESSED YOU ARE slap. Those are the best kinds :)
There really hasn't been to many changes since her 9 month post..but ill try my best to think of all the fun stuff!
At her 9 month checkup she weighed in at 21Lbs...so I'm thinking were pretty close to the 22 mark. Which will put us in size 4 diapers for the day and move us to size 5 diapers for the day! eek! We are also totally done with 6-9 month clothes, they are all coming out of the closet and going to cousin Hollyn today. Happy 6 month birthday sweet Hollyn! HA! 12 months really fits the best, but we do have a couple 12-18 month things that fit too! She has just gotten SO long.
Were still working on our top teeth, her top left "fang" tooth came in ( fang is all i know, I'm no dentist...clearly ) its still just peeking through her gums, but once that baby pushed out all the fussing stopped, I'm thinking it must have relived the pressure from all 4 teeth pushing down. We still use the Hylands teething tablets like once or twice a day if she's fussy.
Everything is still going straight into her mouth. Im wondering when this will end, Erin and I were talking and we've both never seen a baby who puts things in her mouth like Leighton, and between the two of us theres 6 years spent working at a daycare, so that says something.
Getting more confident every day with learning to walk, she wants to do it SO SO bad, and just bails out every time..not to far from now she will be bouncing off the walls. Taylor says she's like lighting. She really is. She comes into a room, does a quick scan of everything within her reach, and literally bolts for something...usually something she can't have, and almost always beats me to it. Her favorite "no no" things are toilet paper, the dog food and water bowl, any cell phone, and any type of dirt of pebbles etc that may have been tracked in.
Last month i said she was weird with finger foods..well no more of that! She eats alll dayyyy lonngggg. Im thinking growth spurt or something. She does do some funny things like she will rub her food with her hand then lick her hand to see if she wants to eat it haha, or she will put the food up to her lips and flick it with her tongue..her personality is starting to really shine and i crack up at every meal.
We've tried so many foods i can't even remember...but our daily menu looks a little like this...
breakfast: bottle, a whole banana cut up, a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal and some applesauce
lunch: bottle, half a peach or mango, steamed carrot chunks, several chunks of cheese, and some yogurt
then she usually has a snack while were running errands.
dinner: veggie pasta, chunked avocado, squash or zuchinni, and whatever yogurt was left over from lunch.
then a bottle before bed.
we still haven't tried meat..maybe this month...maybe ;)
still my little power sleeper! we had a week or so of early wakings, but for about a week were back to 7! it looks like this...
7:00 wake
9:00 nap
11:00-11:20 wake
1:40-2:00 nap
4:00 wake
6:50ish bed
theres a little more play in our schedule now which I'm loving!
Firsts: there weren't TOO many firsts this month...we did go to the country club pool and of course she loved it. They have a baby pool that slopes down like a beach with little fountains sticking out of it, leighton kept sticking her face in the fountains drinking the water. The people sitting around it loved her, she was flirting pretty hard with one older gentleman haha and he just ate it up!
She's slowed on her talking, which is pretty common at this age, so I'm not to worried about it. She's always been quiet..im sure when she's 2 this is a trait i will be thankful for ha!
I think thats about all for this month...were in full blown party planning mode so look for more posts on that! ill leave you with some pics of the big girl...
