10 months

Emma 10 Months

-You weigh about 17 lbs exactly and are 26.5 inches.  Growing in weight but not height so you are our short little chubs J

   -You eat 3 bottles a day at 6:30, Noon, and about 5:30 pm. 

- You eat three solid meals a day and some of your meals consist of entirely table/finger foods.  You LOVE pasta and your favorites right now are macaroni and cheese or spaghetti.  You also LOVE graham crackers and we don’t have to break them up into little pieces anymore because you can bite with your teeth now and suck them until they are soft. 

 -You take a morning nap of about an hour beginning at 8:30am, an afternoon nap of about 2 hours starting at 12:30 or 1.

-You go to bed at about 6:30 and wake up at 6:30.   If you go to bed at 7 you will usually sleep until 7.  You don’t drink a bottle before bed because we make you drink it before dinner.  If we try to give it to you after dinner/before bed, you are too full from your solids to drink it. 

-You will take a sip from a sippy cup but you still don’t like it.  I hope you get there soon because we are coming up on the 12 month mark!  

 -You love saying BYE very loudly and waving. 

-You had your first hospitalization this month for dehydration from a stomach virus.  You loved telling all the doctors and nurses byeJ.   

-Your heart is cured!  We are getting a second opinion, and you still have a slight murmur, but you likely won’t need surgery at this point. 

-You decided to start crawling one day this month.

-You have become a pro at pulling up and prefer to stand at your table or cruise around the furniture than crawl.

-You started to push your walker.   I need to get you a shopping cart or baby stroller. 

-You decided that standing up in your crib is fun and you do it about 50 times before you go to bed.  Most of the time you won’t lay back down so I have to go in there and do it for you. 

-Now when you wake up, instead of just laying there, you sit or stand up.  It is funny to watch you in the monitor. 

--You got your second tooth this month! You now have two on the bottom. 

 -You favorite toys are: you activity table, little people noah’s ark, your walker, violet, baby, and balls. 

ttention span with reading books has gotten better and you like turning the pages. 

-You are so smart little girl and blow us away every day at what you learn!
