10 month update!

This mirthday post is a day early because mommy works every Monday and Friday and so she is doing it early. Silly mommy!



Weight: somewhere over 20 pounds

Skills:
Physically: I have better fine motor skills now - I can clap, take hats off, do the sign for milk, turn pages in a book. My large motor skill improvement this month is getting up and down from standing smoothly
Verbally: I have the letters A and B down pat, not so much any other letters.

Likes: I like to eat. I like to crawl. I like to pull up on anything I can. I like to pull my mommy's scrub pants down while she is working in the kitchen and I am trying to pull myself up using her pants. I like everything that is on the video mommy made about me.

Dislikes: When I am really tired don't even try to put me on the ground - I need to be held until you understand that I am really tired not hungry or teething and you should put me in my crib.

New Foods since my last update: Grains - nothing new. Fruits - Strawberry. Vegetables - Broccoli, Spinach. Protein -nothing new Dairy - american cheese. I really like smoothies that daddy makes sometimes with dinner - I get a few ounces in my sippy cup and I just gobble that down! Not sure what category this goes in but I started on Tuesday getting one bottle of formula a day in addition to my three-four bottles of breastmilk. Mommy cant keep up with me anymore and had to finally give in.

Highlights of the month and what is to come: This was a short month it seemed. I got sick with pink eye and another double ear infection. My ears are getting rechecked the day before I fly to Ohio to see if the infection went away completely after the antibiotics. Hopefully it did, doc said if I get 4 ear infections in a 6 month period I get tubes stuck in my ears! In two weeks I have a big trip planned to Ohio to see just about every important person in my life! All four of my cousins, all my grandparents, all my aunts and uncles - even some second cousins and a great-uncle! I can not wait to see them and fly in an airplane!
