BRODY: 10 MONTHS OLD

My Sweet Little Man,
I cannot believe I’m writing your 10 month letter, and that in 2 short months you’ll be ONE YEAR OLD!!! this past month has been full of fun! I feel that your really growing and changing now, You're so very aware of things and are trying to do more and more every day.
first of all you starting crawling!!! and along with crawling comes getting into everything!!! you love to crawl over to the fake plants and pull out all the greenery at the bottom! we have to make sure there is nothing down that you can get hurt with or put in your mouth. you also are pulling up to everything and standing sometimes with just one hand!
You've also started throwing mini-tantrums when you don't get your way... like when I take something from you that you can’t have or putting you in your carseat, or setting you down after holding you (if your not ready to be put down) You will now arch your back and whine. little stinker!

you finally started saying momma, the first time that I heard you say it was when you were playing in the bathtub, and I think my heart skipped a beat!, you also learned how to wave and say hiiiiii…and are trying so hard to clap! You'll clasp your hands together and shake them but don't quite understand how to do it like mommy and daddy.
but we just love watching you try! Even though you may not be saying any 'real' words yet, I feel that you are really starting to understand what certain words mean. You definitely know what "no" means and will stop and look at us when you hear it, doesn’t mean you always listen.. that part we need to work on ha!  We know that you understand "momma" and "dada" and were pretty sure you know ryry and sissy’s.

Your play has really gone to a new level this month. You love to play with your toys, but will usually choose a lid, a hanger, the remote, my cell phone, the springs that stop the door as your entertainment. but hands down your most favorite thing is cars, you love to slap them and chase them around, it is adorable to watch! you love to play “snatch the binky” with daddy, he likes to take it from you and put it in his mouth then you like to snatch it back, then you will share and put it in his mouth.
you now pull all the dvd’s off of the bookcase in the front room and sometimes you will spend 20 minutes playing with your mess of dvd’s and I know I probably should stop you, but its nice when you can entertain yourself for that long sometimes!

the sleeping schedule has been doing better, you had a cold last month and were cutting your teeth so you started waking up randomly again, but now your back to pretty much sleeping thru the night and if for some reason you do wake up its about 4 or 5 then you will go back to sleep after a little bottle. but normally you don’t wake up until 6-6:30.
you are a little piggy when it comes to food, you will eat pretty much anything we give you if its table food, you are starting to turn your nose up at more and more baby food. (especially the veggies). but you love pancakes, baby goldfish crackers, mini animal crackers, cheerios, macaroni, pickles, tortillas, cheese, mashed potatoes, chicken, and you love yo baby yogurt!! and pretty much any kind of fruit!

you love to be outside, every night for the past month after dinner and your bath, daddy has been taking you on a walk in your stroller, it’s a nice way to get you relaxed and ready for bed, and you love it!

well little man, I love you times a million, you are perfect in each & every way! I'm so happy to call you mine!.. and i can’t wait to see what next month brings!
XOXO
Momma
