Lucky: 10 months

Quinn at ten months...
-on 11/15, about 9 and a half months, at your doctors appt. you weighed 15 pounds 6 ounces (6%) and was 26 (something i can't read) inches long (10%). your head circumference was 43 cm (20%).
-you have four teeth on top and two on bottom.

-you can pull up to stand and get back down on your own very well now.
-can sometimes stand for a couple seconds on your own.

-you can walk along the furniture, with a push toy, or holding our hands. you've started going pretty fast on your push toy and it cracks me up every time because you're just so tiny that it's funny to see your little legs go!

-still loves dogs and cats, books, kids and other babies, outside, your pacifier, the bath, pointing and waving, the moon and lights at night!

-you are a little social butterfly! you smile at everyone and even when they aren't looking you'll smile at them and make some noise to see if they will pay attention to you. (i think you know how cute you are) so taking you to the store is always fun for me... it's like i have my own little show that everyone can't take their eyes off of.

-you can feed yourself great now and love doing so. you prefer meatballs to chicken (you don't really eat chicken past a couple bites but you will scarf down pieces of meatball). you are not a fan of avocado which is a bummer because i was hoping you'd learn to like it and i could get some healthy fats in you! but if i smash it into some pureed fruit you kind of don't notice. you eat pretty much any other fruit and vegetable. you LOVE ritz crackers! you have never really liked or wanted to take the time to eat, but when it's ritz it is like you are a whole different baby! i don't let you have them all the time so i make sure and hide them cause if you see them on the counter you'll get mad and not want to eat your other real food.

-finalllyyy you don't take a third evening nap! you still get sleepy around dinner time but if we just give you a little quiet/down time or if we are out and there is lots going on you are good to go. you just go to bed a little earlier now.

-you wake anytime around 6-7am, go down for a nap 8:30/9am and 12:30/1pm (and can sometimes take a while to stop playing in your crib until you fall asleep), a normal nap for you is about an hour and fifteen minutes but you often will have days where it only lasts thirty and then i pray that you'll fall back asleep for a little longer! sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. bed about 7:30pm.. give or take, depending on how good of an afternoon nap you took and how cranky you're getting.

-you are off your reflux meds as of last week and once you've been off of it for about a month and are closer to one year we can start trying some dairy, like yogurt and cheese. you're still on soy formula so i pray that you can/have overcome the milk protein sensitivity and diary won't be an issue. we will see!

-you are a speedy, drag one leg under you, crawler!

-can climb stairs
-lots of jibber jabber
-i don't think i mentioned it last month but you've been dancing since before then and i just loove it! you even dance when i sing silly made up songs or when daddy starts 'drumming' on the table. the other day my phone only vibrated on the counter and you started moving to that! too cute!
-i feel like i'm forgetting so much but i can't think of any more right now...

...and only a month later my baby is sick again :( at least it's only a little cold and no diarrhea like last time (that was fun!). but she did not want to take pictures. i even waited a few days for her to get (mostly) better but nope just wanted to be in my lap... so here we go!

did not want to be on that calendar and would just just scooch right off every time...
