‘Tis the season 2019

Miles William 9 month photos!

Miles 10 months old!

Age 10 months

Weight and Length   Approximately 19 lbs 7 oz

Clothing size  Mostly 9-12, but some 12-18  months.  

Hair Still light brown, still continuing to get blonder.  Very similar to Kates

Teeth Three!  All on the bottom! None of the top teeth have broken through yet! 

Sleeping  Miles heads to bed most nights around 7:45 pm and sleeps til 7-7:30 most days.  We recently stopped the dream feed so I could start going to bed earliery but most nights he's waking up at 12 and then again around 6:45. 

Eating  Miles continues to like solid foods. He had his first ear infection the day he turned 10 months- and since then he hasn't been taking as much milk during the day while I work.  I think feeling sick has made him a bit more restless at night and wanting to drink more milk in the night. He still likes to eat solid foods.  He is happy with most everything we give him.  He loves scrambled eggs. Most days he nurses at 6/9/1/5:30/7:45/11 or 12. 

Movement  Miles pulls up easily now but doesn't walk along furniture well yet.  He is a very fast crawler but still keeps his left leg out to one side and uses his modified crawl to get anywhere he wants to go on the main floor! He hasn't attempted stairs yet, but we are thankful for the fate at the time of the stairs. 

Milestones  Ear infection #1 was a bad start to this month! Otherwise we are enjoying more babbling.  He is great at waving bye bye and has started clapping too! He also points at things here and there! He can stand and take a couple steps with some assistance with the learning walker. 

Favorite toys/activities  He loves his big sibs toys. He loves anything musical- including his drum set, egg shakers, bells.  He is having fun playing with some stuffed animals that sing songs! 

Dislikes  Miles has had a rough fall with illness- had a fever last month, ear infection this month- feels like he hasn't been without a runny nose for more than a few days in the last 2 months!>

Words and sounds  Lots of Mamama, yayayaya, and squeals of joy, but nothing that is clearly referencing mom. I do think he says mamama when he wants more.  He is learning some sign language.  He is good at signing "all done" and we are trying to teach him more! 

What we love   Watching Miles with his big sibs is the best. They play BABY MONSTER, every am, when I plop Miles on top of them in bed- and they give him a big squeeze. The other day they were taking turns pushing him around in an empty laundry basket too! 

What we don’t love Mommy is hoping to get Miles sleeping all the way through the night in the next month or two!

What we’re looking forward to next month Cruising, and a more traditional crawl.
