Madeline-10 Months

Weight: I think you're about 20 pounds.  I'm not sure on height but you've defintily grown a little because your 9 month pants are too short!

Health: You've been healthy as normal!!


 Social: I love my social baby.  You'll go to just about everyone as long as they make silly faces at you and talk to you!  You do love your mama and will come back to me if you see me!

You love to play and are very engaged with folks around you and toys.

Diet: You are still mainly nursing but are continuing to eat more and more table food.  We've stopped making anything specific for you during meals and just give you bites of ours.  You're not a huge fan of meat yet but love veggies, fruit, dairy and grains!

You are a water fanatic!  You have the sippy cup mastered already and will crawl frantically towards anyone drinking out of a bottle!


Clothes: You are still in 9 month clothing although we're going to move you to 12 month as soon as we move homes.  We will also start buying size 4 diapers.  Most of your cloth diapers are fully unsnapped.

The only small thing about you girl is your little feet!  You are still in 0-6 month robbies and size 1 shoes!

Mama's Favorites: I love how happy you are constantly.  You are the sweetest to wake up to in the morning and greet every new person who comes through the door.  I love watching you explore new things as you started to crawl this month.

Crying: Really only crying when tired or hungry at this point.

Sleep: You have had your boughts of waking up during the middle of the night.  I think you're teething and/or growing!  But for the most part you are sitll sleeping 8-12 hours a night with two naps during the day.  We're struggling to keep the naps at decent hours during the day because you are waking up after 8:30 and don't want to nap till at least 11:30....I hope we're not transitioning to a one nap anytime soon!

This Month:  You have mastered crawling and are now pulling up on things and testing out standing. You pull things down and are into anything that is in your reach.  

Baby Likes: You love to eat.  You love your sister.  You love the computer and squeel everytime it is near you.  You love to skype with family and get into anything your sister doesn't want you to.  Buddy's bowl is super interesting as well as the magnets on the fridge.

Milestones: You are standing now really well and pull up on your own.  You are engaged with toys for longer than 30 seconds ;)  You are eating more and more table food.

Best of Times: You're happy attitude always and watching you explore.

Worst of Times: A few moments when all you want is mom and I have my hands full.

Sister Diaries: Mara keeps asking me to move you away but the problem is this can't happen now! She is just realizing that you are mobile and will have to keep her things away if she wants you to stay away from them.
