10 months old

I've been putting off writing this update for some reason. Maybe because little D has been super sick and not sleeping or maybe it's because I'm a little bit in denial that my little man is 10 months old! Holy crap batman!

He's doing lots of cool stuff now. He's doing what we still call the "advanced army crawl" where he scoots around on his belly. He is spending more and more time on all fours, rocking back and forth but when he wants to move, it's belly to the ground and boy is he quick! He's also getting much better with his fine motor skills like picking up super-tiny-invisible-to-the-adult-eye-random pieces of stuff from the floor. Just in the past couple of days he's spending more time on just his knees and pulling himself up onto things. He's still not a professional sitter yet, but is much more stable. He doesn't seem to like spending much time sitting as he normally just pushes himself forward and takes off crawling.

He's still a good, and much more efficient eater. He nurses 4-5 times a day for about 10-15 minutes and is now eating 3 meals a day. About 3 oz in the morning, 2 oz for lunch and 4 oz for dinner. He's also started eating puffs now and seems to like hanging out in his high chair eating puffs.

Sleeping has continued to go well for the most part. He normally goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 and is up around the same time in the morning. Naps have been better too. Usually 2 in the morning/early afternoon and sometimes a late afternoon one, all usually in his crib.

Unfortunately I feel like he spent most of January with a runny nose or a cold. Poor guy. Just this week has been especially yucky. He got a pretty nasty cough and we caught a ear infections in both ears pretty early. Oh and I officially earned my parent wings when he projectile vomited on me twice. Like real throw up. Ick ick ick! He was so miserable. But after a few days of antibiotics he seems to be getting better finally!

We've also made a decision to transition him into a new daycare center but for the time being, Randy is taking his 6 weeks of Paid Family Leave and will be staying home with him. Love it!

We also left him for the first time overnight and we took a much needed night away. D stayed with grandma and seemed to do great! Glad we overcame that first hurdle of leaving him overnight.

That's all I can think of for now!
