Walker 10 Months Old

Walker man you are 10 MONTHS old! 

You are just sweet as sugar and your little personality is coming right out.  You are curious, curious, curious.  You are ten times more trouble curious than your brother was.  You are constantly in the dog bowls, unrolling toilet paper, in the trash can, up the stairs, tearing down gates, etc.  You do it all with a little grin on your face, too.  Its a good thing you're cute! 

You are pretty much on the same schedule as last month. I have dropped a bottle usually once a day. Depends on the day which one I drop.  Its usually your 4:30 one.  You still nap at 9 and 2 for about 2 hours each.  You go to bed around 7:30 and usually get up at 7.  You have had a few nights where you have woken up at night, but its not for long.  Otherwise you are a super sleeper!  You still love a paci for sleeping. 

You are BUSY and EVERYWHERE.  You love climbing, crawling, cruising, standing, etc.  You are very fast! 

You have two bottom teeth with one more coming in and three top teeth with one that is almost poking through.  

You LOVE sippy cups and water, like you're obsessed.  If I give Banks his water you will pitch a fit until you get some, too.  You can drain a sippy cup, its pretty impressive!  You use the straw sippy cups. 

You wear mostly 12 months clothes with some 18 months as well.  You can squeeze into a few 9 month outfits if their big.  You wear a size 4 diaper and a 5 at night.  I think your shoes are mostly size 2s.  Yes, you wear shoes now :)

You love to blow raspberries, give kisses, wave, and shake your head no. You shake your head no everytime we ask you anything! You think it is hilarious if we shake our heads back to you! 

You are a cuddly baby!  You are on the go, but will take a break to crawl into my lap and put your head on my shoulder.  Melts my mommy heart every single time. 

You can say "mama" and "dada" but its not always specific.  Every once in a while I get excited because I think you are saying it to me, but probably not haha. 

Favorite foods:

Ham (its seriously your favorite...weird)

avocados

mac and cheese

cheese of any kind

green beans

corn

mashed potatoes 

sweet potatoes

He remains go with the flow and happy.  His big bro is sweet to him and they are best friends.  He did have his first ear infection this month (double ear infection) and he barely complained.  Banks said his ear hurt (which they were perfect) so I had Lauren look in his ears too and BAM double ear infection.  Sweet little kid.  A week on amoxicillin and he was a different baby.  He had been congested for like a month and it cleared him all up.  Now that he feels better he is back to normal, happy Walker!  He does continue to have a little eczema that we treat with aquafor and hydrocortisone cream. 

Favorite things:

bathtime

sippy cups

being outside

thresholds (going in and out of doors)

stairs

paci

daddy (seriously a daddy's boy)

Oh we love you so much Walker!   You have added so much to this family!  Cannot believe we are already thinking and planning for your first bday.  How can that be?  We love you!!!
