Happy 10 months Henry

 Happy 10 months Henry!

 

Yes they are blurry, because he literally did not sit still the entire time. 

 

Weight: No idea but I know it's alot because my right arm is getting buff from carrying his crazy self around. 

Length: Long enough to outgrow his 9 month stuff. Clothes:  He is almost out of all his 9 month stuff and into 12 mo and even some 18 mo stuff.

Likes:  Besides loving to eat, non stop the dude crawls now....everywhere....all the time. He doesn't ever stop and he is into everything. He follows me to the kitchen and opens the drawers and cabinets and takes everything out. (baby proofing is happening this weekend). He has tried the steps a few times too so we have put up the baby fence in the living room to keep him contained...which he hates. He of course loves his Cora too.

Dislikes:Like I said he hates being contained, in the pack n' play, the jumper, in the living room, car seat, stroller you name it. He also hates teething of course and sleeping apparently. His naps are getting shorter and he is waking up in the night again. Time to retry cry-it-out I suppose. Poor guy.

Sleeping: Like I said, not doing fantastic at this lately but oh well. He sure is cute when he does sleep and it gives me a break from chasing him.

Eating: He loves eating. Always has. He still nurses or gets breastmilk bottles (when I am gone) when he first wakes up, before morning nap (although we are weaning this one out), before afternoon nap and before bed. Other than that he eats all his meals of full table food. He eats pretty much everything we eat outside of super spicy or hard to chew stuff. He has had steak, brisket, chicken, turkey, lots of cheese and cottage cheese, tons of fresh fruit and steamed veggies and pasta. The kid will eat anything but avacado. He takes his sweet time and thinks it's hilarious to feed the dog bites of food and to suck his slippery foods off the tray. Goofball.

 Lunch of bananas, string cheese and turkey. Dinner of fruit puree, cottage cheese, tortillini and turkey.

 Feeding Cora.

 Breakfast of yogurt, waffle and banana

 Slurping pears off his tray that were too slick to pick up.

 Which he finds hilarious.

Playing: He has been pretty clingy lately due to some chompers coming through so I play on the floor with him alot but he will play on his own some too. He loves his slide and has figured out how to crawl up it himself and slide down but he especially loves when I count to 3 before he wiggles himself down. 

Other Milestones:He is working on talking. He says a few words like Mama, Dadda, Dog, Ra-Ra (Cora), mmm (when he likes his food) and uh (still working on the oh part of uh-oh). He wants to walk so badly but for now he just cruises along the couch, coffee table, end table, baby fence etc. He also found the stairs and has tried a few of those (with supervision). He also waves hello and good bye, claps his hands, throws his arms up when we ask how big he is and picks his nose....awesome. And he uses a sippy cup now like it's his job.

What Dr. Grossman Said:We didn't see Dr. Grossman this month because he has been a healthy boy! Thank goodness. I did talk to the lactation consultant at their office though to help me figure out weaning milk (he is doing some and I'm doing some too) and trying to find the balance of keeping my supply up for what he needs and gradually dropping feedings as he wants more table food. 

Here are the hilarious outtakes of his photo shoot this month, which was a joke because he wouldn't sit still.
