10 months

Dear Baby Rose,

I can't believe that you are 10 months old now! I got your baby book up to date over the weekend. 

You can crawl a bit more. It's still a bit of an army crawl, as you carry your legs behind you.  But you have gotten to be quite quick about it! You also are pulling your legs under yourself from time to time.  So you will be crawling well soon enough.  You have started holding yourself up along the ottoman.  You pulled yourself up on your walker a couple of weeks ago too.  You really don't need your pacifier often at all anymore.  You have been a bit fussy lately in the evenings.  But, it could be your teething.

Health - you have a cough again.  It started a week ago (around Sept 4th).  Last night was the worst.  You had a bad coughing fit about every hour it seemed.  We also had a lot of bad storms last night.  So maybe those kept you up too.  You had a bad diahrea spell a few weeks ago.  Thank goodness that is gone.  Now you seem to have bunny pellets more often thannot.

Food - You have been doing so well eating chunks! We started with bananas mashed up, and put oatmeal flakes in your purees to bulk them up.  Now you can even eat quinoa and other chunkier items. I also made mashed cauliflower over the weekend, and you liked that.

Likes - you love your bouncer. You spend time in it at dacyare, so we only do it a lot on the weekends. You like to play with your toys. I try not to turn on the TV much in the evenings when it is just you and I.  You enjoy being outside and will often tolerate riding in your stroller.  You very much still like to be held and walked around.  You are not as interested in being held while I am sitting.  You like opening drawers, and taking things off of shelves.  You have started to like having your face wiped as long as we are gentle, you even like playing pee-a-boo with the washcloth now.

Dislikes - You get quite annoyed if you are hungry or tired. I know you are ready for a nap when you get a bit fussy.

You are such a sweet baby. I love spending time with you. You are always interested in what is happening around you.  Your Ummuchi and Uppachen are coming this weekend.  They cannot wait to spend time with you.

I love you baby Rose!
