Brett- 10 months old!

10 months - double digits. I am in denial.  Only 2 months until your 1st birthday.  Mommy has the location and date set but is having a hard time finalizing all the details.  I think it's denial that I won't have a baby anymore, I will have a TODDLER!  You are everywhere now.  You are crawling full force. I kind of miss your army crawl!  This last month we celebrated your "Inside Out Day."  You turned 39 weeks 4 days on March 4th.  That was the same amount of time you were in mommy's tummy.  We took a trip to Hot Springs to visit Papa and Grandma Shar.  Uncle Brian, Aunt Megan, Kate & Joe were all there too.  You love the attention.  Teeth # 5 and #6 have come in.  It's funny because you have 3 on top and 3 on the bottom and are on your left side.  You are ready for your 4th haircut already. We had your 9 month professional pics at the beginning of March.  They were super cute!!!   

Sleep:  You are pretty consistent now a days.  You fall asleep 7:30-8:30pm every night.  You sleep until about 4:30am. You are waking to eat.  Mommy feeds you in mommy & daddy's bed and then you sleep until 6:30/7am.  You still take 2-3 naps a day. Morning is about an hour, Afternoon is about 2 hours and early evening, 45 minutes (sometimes you skip this). 

Daily Routine: 

4:30am- Wake up to feed and fall back asleep
7/7:30am- Wakes up and Mommy feeds you before we leave
8am- leave to head to babysitter
  (we
get there around 8:20am and we get to spend about 15-20 minutes
together before Mommy has to leave for work, Mommy usually feeds you
breakfast - yogurt or fruit/oatmeal)
8:30am until we pick you up - 2 naps, 1 bottle, puree's for lunch, lots of playing with Miss Lori
4:30pm Daddy picks you up
We come home, you eat, play, sleep.  We take baths  most nights and you go to bed around 7:30-8:30pm

Feed:
We are struggling with bottles at the babysitters.  You MAYBE get 4
oz.  Mommy sends 6-8 oz because you can surprise us one day and drink
that much.  For the most part, your feeding schedule goes like this:
4:30am- nurse
7:30am- nurse
8:30am- Breakfast (fruit & oatmeal or Yogurt and sometimes a seperate fruit; probably about 4-8 oz solids)
11:30am- bottle (if you will take it, sometimes just 2 oz and 1 fruit and 1 veggie; 7-8 oz solids)
1pm- snack (Mum Mums, string cheese, puffs, etc)
3:30pm- we try another bottle and maybe get 2 oz out of it.  
 5:30/6pm- nurse and/or eat whatever mom and dad are eating (Baby Led Weaning. ) 
8pm- nurse
You are loving real food.  Especially Italian food!  You can eat a whole slice of pizza (minus crust).   You love spaghetti sauce.  Mommy made homemade a few weeks ago, you went to town.  Love lasagna and recently had mozzarella sticks and eggplant parmesan.

Funniest or Favorite moment:You started waving this month and it is hilarious!  It looks like you are a windshield wiper. 

Milestone: started waving, starting "g" sounds, climbing stairs, playing Peek A Boo (Where is Brett?), cruising
Your favorite toy:
Sophie will probably always be a favorite.  You love to jump either in
your Johnny Jumper or Jumperoo.  I hate to say this but the iPhone is
one of your favorite toys.  You have your own (mommy's old one) and we
have Fisher Price games, You Tube and a rattle/shape game that you have
loved since you were a few months old. You love your activity table and new (Kate's old) toy that you can crawl through.
