Landon : 10 Months

Another month has come and gone.


Landon,

10 months..already! There are days where it seems like you were just born yesterday. I am loving the stage you are in right now. You are such a curious little george these days. You absoutely love to people watch! 

Your two top teeth and two bottom teeth are slowwwwly starting to peak through. You have been such a champ through this teething phase and have never really let them bother you.

Your favorite toy of the moment is  still Sophie the Giraffe but recently you love playing with stuffed animals and Sophie may have been replaced by Scout the puppy dog.

I think you are going to love the water just as much as I did growing up. You love swimming lessons and love splashing around at bath time. Just seeing the water splash sends an instant smile to your face and a giggle.

You are quite the crawler these days and are picking up speed each day. 

You love to cruise around all the furniture in the house. Most of it you shouldn't even be touching but you will learn that in due time. You are so proud of yourself and will show me your hands in the air as if you are saying "Look Mom! No hands!" It's so adorable. You are still a little hesitant standing by yourself, when you do realize you are standing on your own you quickly fall on your butt. If you can get your courage up I think you will definitely be walking by your first birthday!

You have turned into quite the night owl. Going to bed at 11:00 p.m.and waking up at 7:00 a.m. on the dot. I read somewhere that a 10 month old should be sleeping 14 hours a day...hah! 

One of your new favorite things to do is to open up all the kitchen cabinets, drag everything out  and beginning banging on each and every thing. We have to work on not doing that...

Another favorite new game you play is crawling your fastest towards something you know you aren't supposed to be touching. ie: Bella's bowl, our wooden ottoman, a glass vase and a variety of decor. When me or your Dad yell out "No!" you stop and act like you were going to do something else. Smart little one I tell ya...

I weighed you last week and you are now weighing in at 24lbs. I can tell you are starting to slim down in your legs from all the non-stop crawling and cruising you are doing. 

You are still wearing size 6-12 months in clothing and size 3 diapers.

You are beginning to not hate having shoes on your feet as much and I am trying to get you used to wearing more hats. Little boys in hats are a must.

Your hair is starting to grow like a weed and is still a light brown sometimes dark blond color.

Your eyes are still a grayish blue shade and change depending on what you wear. 

You have quite the personality at such a young age. You know what you like and you know what you want. I love how independent you are at such an early age.

I  am so happy to say I think you are outgrowing your allergy. We have tried dairy and wheat and you seem to react fine. So hopefully that was just a short phase.
