E is 10 months!

Sleep: This month things hit a real low in getting her to sleep at all.  We finally started sleep training, but I won't be posting about it until her 11 month post.  She is taking 2 naps, one around 10 that lasts about an hour and one around 2 that lasts about an hour.  She's typically in bed by 7 and up around 7 (and up every 2 hours in between!)

Food: She is nursing every 4 hours still. She has yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast around 8. For lunch she eats a variety of high fat foods like cheese or avocado. I'm also adding olive oil or coconut oil to all of her pureed foods (per the doctors request).  She eats about the same for dinner. She loves eating finger foods so she's slowly moving away from purees.  She is also drinking 2-4 ounces of whole milk (per the doctors request) and has finally been doing well with a bottle.

Diaper size: 3

Clothes: 6-9 months

Weight: 14 lbs 8 oz (0 percentile - she weighed 14 lbs 7 oz at 9 months) - she had a weight check this morning and thankfully she is cleared until next month

Length: 26.75 inches (17th percentile)

Development: Still crawling, walking along the couch, pulling herself up, and trying to take a step.  She now shakes her head yes when you say "yes" to her.  Her first official word this month was "oww". She pulled my hair and I said oww and she looked at me and said "oww". So cute :) She also says "uh oh" a lot (which happened to be my first word!)

Personality: She is still very loving and loves to be held/to cuddle.  She is a generally happy baby until she gets tired or if she doesn't get her way.  She is definitely starting to throw mini tantrums when I take away something she isn't allowed to have or we stop doing something she wants to do.

Pics from this month:

 She loves sitting in big brother's car

Covered in cottage cheese - and yelling at me

Trying to climb up the slide. Big brother is a bad influence on her!

A sneak peek at our photo shoot for her first birthday invitations :)

 

I'm in full birthday planning mode. I'm so excited we get to celebrate her first birthday in Ohio surrounded by our family and friends. It's going to be a lot of fun :)
