10 Months

My baby boy is 10 months old! 

He weighs 20 lbs and is 30 inches long.  He is wearing 9-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. He takes a 7-8 ounce bottle 4 times a day and eats baby food for breakfast and dinner.  He also still loves ALL table food that we will let him eat, and he loves all flavors of puffs.  He loves feeding himself and likes to share his food with the pups. 

He has become an expert with crawling.  He is into everything!  Needless to say, we are in the process of teaching him "no no".  He loves to crawl to the entertainment center and pull down all the DVDs.  He loves to crawl into the bathroom and throw things into the tub and play with the toliet paper.  He also loves playing in mommy's basket where she keeps all off her "getting ready" stuff.  He is getting really good at cruising along the furniture.  His balance has greatly improved, and he can easily stand holding onto something with one hand.  I love when something is just out of his reach because he will go up on his tiptoes to extend his reach a little further.

He is getting alot better at imitating.  Some of things he is good at imitating is a fake cough, puckering his lips, clapping his hands, sticking his tongue out, and clicking his tongue.  He is also starting to talk a lot more.  I love listening to him and watching his facial expressions.  He now has 6, yes I said 6, teeth which he used last night to bite me with.  Let's hope that this does not become a habit.   

He absolutley loves water, so bath time is always fun.  He gets so excited when he hears the water running and will crawl as fast as he can to the tub.  He loves slapping the water and splashing.  We are so excited for this weekend because we are putting him in a pool for the first time:) 

He is sleeping really well in his own bed.  He loves going to sleep with is lovey.  He has a blue dog lovey that he takes with him during the day and an elephant lovey that is just for home.  He loves chewing on his loveys, but when he gets sleeping he will rub a piece of his lovey (usually the ears) on his nose or cheek.   

He had his first dose of antibiotics this month.  When we took him to his 9 mth checkup the doctor said he had a small ear infection.  He also had the dreadful fever virus again over Mother's Day weekend.  We figured out that he likes the berry flavored Motrin much better than the cherry flavored Tylenol:)    

He is such a sweet and loving baby.  He loves to give kisses.  He will open his mouth and lean in when tell him to give you a kiss.  He is so much fun and has such a big personality.  He is a very happy baby and is always smiling.  He has the sweetest little laugh that I could listen to all day long!  I am so excited that in just three more days I will be with this little guys 24/7!

Happy 10 months Colin Ollie....Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
