Ten months old






Davis is sleeping 14 1/2 to 15 1/2 hours in a 24 hour period (most nights 12 hours straight!) We have started to combine his feeding times so that he drinks part of his milk in the sippy cup while he eats and then finishes the other 4 ounces in the bottle after his meals. We have also tried to get him on a 0800, 1200 and 1730 meal time schedule. He is doing great with it! If we are late with dinner he lets us know about it! He nurses in the morning and sometimes before bed.  We start our day around 0730 and he is usually asleep by 1930. His nap times are pretty consistent (0930 and 1330 or if he sleeps in 1030 and 1430). He usually sleeps 80 minutes. Here are tidbits from this month:


  • Weighs over 17 pounds
  • Wears size three diapers and 9 months clothes (though some sleeves are getting short)
  • Eats very well and has started feeding himself finger foods: introduced to shredded cheese, pineapple, blueberry, brussels sprouts, eggplant, black beans, northern beans, and apparently loves cheerios in the nursery!
  • Will laugh hysterically when overtired and shake his head to make himself dizzy

  • Can stand for a few seconds at a time all by himself


  • Will cruise along furniture 
  • Will jump up and down in his crib
  • Finally will say Momma and Dada, Nana, hey and huh. 
  • Waves bye bye, loves waving to himself in the mirror. 
  • Loves when Daddy comes home, he will crawl straight to him grinning and then he will just sit with Daddy for a long time
  • Getting first tooth (broke through on 3/27) and teethe on his paci
  • Plays peek a boo with bedtime book and curtains
  • Makes a funny "funny face"


  • Loves being outside on the deck. Will stare at the neighbor or Daddy cutting the grass or watch Daddy and Granddaddy working.
 

  • Had a fever for the first time with a terrible cold, runny nose, and cough. I knew he was not feeling well when he would not play and fell asleep on me (he has not done that since he was a wee little one)
