Conor Christopher: Ten Months

Conor by month 1 // 2 // 3 // 4  // 5  // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9

Growing // Around 10 months you weighed 15 lbs 3 oz, measured 25.2 inches in length and your head circumference was 46.5 cm (79th percentile). Your head is still the only thing on the chart for your actual age! But we know you'll get there in time. 

Eating + Sleeping // Most days you're eating 5 times a day and we're mixing formula with your breastmilk still for the extra calories. And typically you consume 6/8 ounces each time. And we're slowly introducing you to new solids. I gave you a giant carrot this month as a teething toy and you loved that! And you love just getting your fingers in all the food and getting messy. I've given you some rice cereal and other pureed items, but truly, you still don't really like the pureed stuff. You really just love sitting in your highchair and observing everything. 

I'm still waking you up at night before I go to bed to eat, but I'm thinking this may have been the month we just let you sleep until morning without waking you up 6-7 hours after your last feed. Or it could have been at 9 months, quite frankly, I can't remember! But I'm sure it was somewhere around this timeframe. And you just transitioned so easily. You're still sleeping on your wedge, and I'm zipping you up into your Magic Merlin sleep suit. You love that thing and sleep so well, it's wild. 

Wearing // You're wearing some 9 month onesies and 9 month pajamas, but most of your clothing items are still 6 month things. And you're wearing your cloth diapers and size 2 diapers at night!

Loving // You smile and laugh so much! It's fantastic. You love when anyone pays attention to you and you love when we read books to you. And your brothers love holding you! And I think you're enjoying your bouncer and getting the hang of how it actually works. And I just think you love being up off the ground - so you love sitting up in your basket and sitting in the bumbo. And you seem to like your glasses!

Loathing // You don't really love when I wash your hair, but then again who would! And you don't really like shots - you've been getting shots to prevent RSV monthly and then whatever other shots you have on top of that with your regular checkups, and it's so sad. 

Doing // We transitioned you to a proper baby bath! It would work better if you could actually sit up, but you are leaning back on it, and loving it. You are bouncing/twirling away in your bouncer. You are babbling and talking alot. 

Doctors appointments // 2 Occupational therapy appointments, 1 appointment at childrens with pre-anesthesia, 1 visit to North Seattle pediatrics.

Milestones // First snow, first time in a proper baby bath.
