Dear Reagan - 10 months

I can't believe 10 months is here already!

All your little friends and cousins are turning 1 and I can't help but think that you are next!

So soon!

We have been busy busy this past month. And I have been pretty much silent on the blogosphere for the entire month.

Woops.

So 10 months.

You seem like such a little peanut now. 

You are just barely over 21 pounds and 30 inches tall.

You mostly wear 9 month clothes.

I have been buying you a few more 12 month clothes, but most of them are still big on you.

I honestly don't know how you are staying little though.

You eat ALL.DAY.LONG.

I could feed you nonstop and I am pretty sure you would be happy.

You had your first real bout with sickness this past month.
And you had your first (separate from the sickness) trip to the ER.
You handled both amazingly!
Your doctors office loves you...you are such a little sweetie! And of course you brought on the charm at the hospital too!

You go go go all day long.

You are getting so quick at crawling.

I still think it is the cutest thing ever.

And you LOVE to climb the stairs.

You can get to the 4th or 5th step in just a few seconds. 

And you love us to chase you all the way to the top. 

You giggle and giggle.

Your grandma thinks you will be full-out walking in the next few weeks.

Before 11 months.

And I would have to agree. 

You walk along furniture and pretty much anything else that you can.

You love to walk behind your new Christmas toy!

I have even caught you a few times going from one piece of furniture to the next and letting go and taking a step before grabbing the next piece of furniture.

Ah!

The biggest change this month besides you seeming like you're 4 months older is that your daddy and I decided that I was done nursing you in the middle of the night and holding you and rocking you back to sleep.

For the most part you have always been a good sleeper...you started sleeping through the night at 2 weeks old! But, around 7 months old you went through a growth spurt...and I just think you got used to being nursed and held during the night, because ever since then you have been waking up and wanting to be nursed and/or held. So we decided to bite the bullet and go for it. 

...it was a long week.

BUT!

I think we might be there!

...maybe

Sun, Mon, Tue you went to bed between 10-11 and slept until 8 or 9!

Even when you were sleeping through the night you would be up by 6 or 7...so the 8 and 9am has been amazing!

Wednesday night you were awake again though :/ But by how you sounded and how you were acting...I think it was gas..
Last night was bliss again though!
You went to bed at 9pm and slept till 8:30am!
I love being able to wake up before you and still feel RESTED!
And this view never gets old :)

You still LOVE people.

My word. 

Taking you out is such a joy :)
You don't care if they are old or young or look REALLY rough or really rich...you have smiles and things to say to everyone!

I am definitely looking forward to this month.

I am looking forward to your dad being here for most of it with us and being able to enjoy watching all these little things that he misses while he is at work everyday.

Maybe even those first steps :)

Welcome to 10 months, buddy.
