10 Months

by

 

You have now officially been out for longer than you’ve been in mummy’s tummy.

This past month you have started day care with a wonderful lady called Mellissa as mummy prepares to go back to work (2 days a week).

Achievements:

  • On Friday 8th of April you took your first step. It was a bit like a cling to mum and leap for a toy but that still counts.
  • You are able to stand for 5-10 seconds without support.
  • You are a master crawler!
  • You can go up and down steps, decks, anything really
  • You enjoy climbing (Daddy built you a rock climbing wall for you to practice)
  • You definitely know your name and the words ‘no’ ‘bang bang’ and ‘splash splash’
  • Love listening to animal sounds (except for sheep and goats – they terrify you
  • Imitate animal noses i.e. ‘neigh’ and ‘meow’ as we read to you
  • You are the happiest when you are outside or in water
  • You pull to stand and cruise along furniture
  • Use other objects to help you walk i.e. stools, office chair, ottoman
  • Play ‘peak a boo’ using the couch and curtains
  • Have started bear crawling and are becoming increasingly frustrated with being unable to walk
  • Crawl to the bath when you hear it being run
  • Use objects to bang other objects
  • Pay attention to where we are looking and pointing
  • Enjoy pressing buttons on sound books and textures in texture books
  • Enjoy putting your fingers into holes (including mouths, ears and noses)
  • You will quickly rip off any hat that we put on your head and can attempt to take off your jumper

Other:

  • Solids: You are getting better and better at eating finger food but you are still a very fussy eater.
  • We have started you on a non- prescription formula and so far- no spew (touch wood)
  • You still love drinking out of adult cups and your sippy cup
  • You love chops and are beginning to enjoy spaghetti
  • Sleep: Has been up and down this past month. Some nights you have slept through- others you’ve been up 4 times. Sometimes just for a cuddle off mummy.
  • Teeth: SEVEN! They just keep popping out!
  • You fit into size 0 and 1 clothes. You’re a size smaller on the bottom (0). You hate wearing hats of any kind and quickly rip them off your head.
  • You are very curious and independent
  • You love wheels and drain and helping mum in the garden
  • Your eye sight is fantastic and you notice the smallest pieces of dirt on the floor
