Liam is 10 Months!

I know that this is posted way late.  But I did have the draft done the day before he turned 10 months old.  I just didn't have any pictures uploaded so that delayed me.

 -Liam is still huge!  He is around the same weight that I posted last time as a guess (his last month's weight was really 24lb10oz).  And he is SUPER tall!!

-Teething has hindered his sleeping abilities lately.  So sleeping....well, sometimes he sleeps through the night and sometimes he wakes up just once.

-Speaking of teething he now has 3 teeth!!  And more is about to pop through!!!  

-He took his first steps 1-2 weeks ago.  He walked 5 steps all by himself!  He braves it every once and while by taking a few steps.  He sometimes just stands there and starts to sit, then stands like he is going to take a step, and repeats the pattern.  So many choices!  

-He loves to feed himself food.  He isn't a shoveler either, which is good!  He will just chew while holding another piece in his hand, and when he's ready he pops it in there!

-He's still a pretty good eater.  If you don't count his extreme teething, which makes him not eat sometimes, he's doing good this month!  He will now eat some meat.  He more or less just eats whatever meat we eat, so steak, chicken, lunch meat, etc, whatever is in our meal.  The other night we had a casserole with beef and the little piggy snarfed it all down!  He LOVES broccoli.  Seriously, obsessed.  He also eats northern beans, green beans and peas.  He loves nutrigrain bars, too!  He has them all the time.  He will now pick of pieces of a pear and eat it, and he will finally eat cheese!!  Of course he eats yogurt melts, puffs, goldfish, etc.

-He's babbling a lot more.  We are trying to get him to communicate what he wants without just screaming at us.  

-Bedtime is a lot later now.  He goes to bed between 8-9pm.  If he happens to only get one nap in, he will go down a little earlier.  

-Naps are switching between 1 and 2 when we are home.  When he falls back asleep at 8:30am, he will only nap one more time (I don't count the 8:30 as a nap) and if he doesn't, then he usually takes two naps, one around 10:30am and another one around 3:30pm.  

-He loves playing with anything!  Wipes, toys, magnets (they are safe, don't worry), stuffed animals, measuring cups.  You name it, he loves it!

-He is still obsessed with crawling all over everyone!

-He is still wearing mostly the same size clothing.  I am already ordering some winter clothes and I chose 3t shirts.  They will shrink and he'll have room to grow.  I did get him a couple pair of jeans, and those were 2t.

-He is still wearing a size 5 diaper.

-He is still using a binkie, but not every second.  I'm not worried about it.  During this teething phase that binkie is my life saver.

-He loves giving kisses!  Such a sweet boy!  He gives kisses to all of us, baby dolls, stuffed animals.  He's a lover not a fighter!

-His new show he likes to watch is Max and Ruby.  And he loves when Moose comes on Nick Jr.

-For the first time since he was a newborn, someone else has successfully put him to sleep that wasn't me or Jimmy.  My mom watched him while we took Sydni to a concert and he did great!  

-He knows how to play peek-a-boo.  He holds up one of his blankets in front of his face and them slams it down in front of him and just laughs!!

-Bath time is still one of his favorite things.  I just walk down the hall and have him follow me and once he sees me walk into the bathroom you can hear his knees smashing on the ground trying to beat me there.  He knows it's bath time!

-His hair is SUPER long!

-He's mimicking things we do.  We put sunglasses on, then put them on him and he will take them off and try to do it, too.

-His eczema is currently under control!  YAY!!

-His bff is still Sydni.  He's done great with her starting school.  He patiently waits while we are in line to pick her up everyday, and the playing resumes when we get home!

-He is such a happy baby!
