John Hayden was 10 months old yesterday. (He wouldn't sit still for a picture unless I gave him the camera case, so this was the best picture I could get.) Here's his monthly update:
--He weighs around 23 lbs., so he hasn't really gained much recently.
--He's still eating his baby food good and still getting 24 oz. of formula a day. He likes his Cheerios and banana puffs, and will eat some table food, but eats his baby food better than it.
--His diaper and clothing sizes haven't changed: size 4 diapers, as well as 9-12 month pajamas (although I put him in 12-18 month ones as well even though they are a little big) and 12 and 18 month clothes, although his 18 month stuff fits a little better.
--He's still sleeping great and finally is taking some naps at daycare, but it's still a little hit and miss with that. Some days he'll take a good nap there and other days not. He naps great at home...in the swing (although we don't turn it on). He won't nap in his crib and considering he's not far from a year old, we need to work on getting him out of the swing for naps.
--John Hayden has gotten fast crawling on his knees, pulls up on everything, gets into everything, and can be quite destructive. He's cruising a lot and has even started letting go and standing alone for a few seconds. And in just the past few days he's gotten more control while he is standing alone and instead of falling down, he will squat down. He can also walk with his walking toy. He definitely says "ma-ma" now along with "da-da" and "ba-ba," but doesn't say it as much as he says "da-da." Oh, and he shakes his head no, but he's been doing that for a couple of months now. He has almost got the waving and clapping down, but not quite there yet. He's got 7 teeth now, and one more he is cutting. He's super happy and laughs a lot, and he's still great to take out to restaurants (which is shocking considering he won't sit still any where else...even in the bathtub).Oh, and the other day he was peeking underneath the bathroom door and banging on it, wanting Matt to come out. I thought it was pretty cute...and funny!
