Ella at 10 Months

Sorry this is late, all the information is from Feb. 17th - April 16th.

Age:  10 months

Weight:    20 pounds

Height: 30 inches

Milestones:   New foods you have tried and have enjoyed are turkey, kiwi, corn, "big girl" oatmeal, leeks, little bit of yogurt, cottage cheese,  and there were more but Mommy forgot to write them down.  You went from kneeling to standing to climbing on 3-20, then briefly stood for the first time on 4-8. Mommy and Daddy agree that you are  growing up way to fast.  You now say hi while waving to people, one of your favorite things to do.  You are now getting upset when Mommy or Daddy takes an object or toy away that you are playing with, oh no. :)  Mommy and Daddy had our first night where we didn't have to wake up and feed you on 4-10, aww finally better sleep.  You are now saying Mama, Dada, Hi, and a bunch of other "words" aka gibberish.  You are able to follow some one-step commands, when you want to of course.

Best Moment:  Seeing all of the wonderful changes you have made.

Worst Moment:  Taking you to the ER because you were dehydrated from throwing up for a couple of days.

Hair: Your hair still hasn't gotten dark like it was when you were first born, but you keep getting more so the bald patch in the back is almost gone. 

Eye Color:  Your eye color looks like brownish/greenish color.

Who you look like: 90% Daddy and maybe 10% Mommy.   :)

Clothes:  You still fit 6-9 months clothes but they are starting to get tight and short, but still fit. You wear mostly 12  month onesies and 18 month t-shirts for the length.

Sleeping Through the Night: It took Mommy and Daddy a couple nights of listening to you cry, because we wouldn't come feed you when you wanted, but you are now sleeping almost through the night.  You have been waking up once usually around 12:00am or 3:00am then again around 5:00am or 6:00am.

Schedule: You go to bed around 8:30pm and wake up around 7:30 am.   You have been taking two naps a day, first nap is around 12:00pm the second is usually around 3:30pm, lasting about 45-60 minutes.  

Eating:  During the day you like to eat you meals about every four hours.  We now feed you oatmeal with cinnamon, vanilla, and a fruit in the morning, pureed food at lunch and at night which you really enjoy.  You are still on Mommy's milk, usually before and after each of your meals, after you wake from your naps, then a couple times between lunch and dinner then again at bed time.

Teeth: You still have two bottom teeth, which are adorable.

Diapers: Size 3 of Earth's Best diaper. 

Travel: We visited Grandma and Grandpa (aka PaPa) for Easter, we had a wonderful time and you really enjoyed playing with the dyed Easter eggs. 

Biggest Change:  Sleeping better through the night, aww we love this.  

Extra Comments: You now say "num num" to mean chewing while you are eating food, simply adorable.   On 4-7 you gave Meeko a kiss and ate a piece of the kitties treat that was on the floor, oops.  When you want you hand things to Mommy and Daddy when we ask.
