Baby Girl: 10 Months

This month Brynn has started crawling much better and with a lot more purpose. She has 3 teeth on top and is getting one more. She went in for her first dentist appointment today and the dentist was impressed with how happy and sweet she was despite his fingers being in her mouth and having a tooth that is almost coming in. Brynn recently started tantruming. The tantrums are nothing horrible but that's the best word I have for what she does. She has started to throw her head and body backward if she is upset while being held. If she's upset and on the floor, she puts her forehead on the floor and has one good sob then either decides she's over it and sits back up or isn't over it and continues to cry while scooting her forehead along the ground. At this point it's quite funny and cute but we'll see how I feel about her tantrums in a few months.

Brynn tried her first PB&J sandwich and loved it.

She loved being bounced on the trampoline.

Naked swimming and waving practice.

Sleeping so adorably.

Her normal sleep position: on her belly with her arms underneath her body.

Crawling through a box tunnel.

Babies that sleep with their bums in the air are one of my very favorite things.

Happy 10 Months, Baby Girl!

Weight: About 19 pounds  

Height: About 27 inches
Clothing Size: 9-12 months, some 6-9 month still fit
Diaper Size: In cloth diapers but would be in size 3   
Milestones: Crawling everywhere, waving bye-bye, 3 new teeth (right central incisor--June 30, Left central incisor--July10, left lateral incisor--July 11), starting to balance while standing for a few seconds.
Eating: Nursing around 6am, eats breakfast about an hour later. Mostly just wants real food and doesn't nurse well during the day but still nurses right before bed.
Sleeping: She usually naps 2 times a day (sometimes 3 if she wakes up really early in the morning). These naps are generally 2 hours, unless interrupted by a screaming brother, she will sometimes sleep even longer than that. Her night-time sleeping has been horrible. She sleeps in about 2-3 hour spurts at night then wakes up crying and cannot get herself back to sleep. Nothing soothes her except nursing. I've tried to get her to take a binki but she won't take it, it just turns into a chew toy. This 2-3 hour spurt goes on throughout the night. She is usually sleeping by 7:30pm and wakes up for real between 6:30 and 7:30.
Communication: Lots of dada, yelling, gets really talkative when she's tired, blowing raspberries, lots of jabbering, says "bu-bu" while waving goodbye
Nicknames: Brynners, Baby Brynn, Brynnie

Baby H.--10 Months

I'm getting okay with having pictures that are little blurry.  I'm just glad he sat still for a few seconds.

Also, pants are optional right now.  At least he's wearing a diaper.

Baby has learned so much this month.  He is getting much better at pulling himself up and can do so on almost anything.  He also learned to push himself into a sitting position by getting up onto his hands and knees then pushing himself back onto his bottom.

Baby started the month by learning to stand really well on his own.

He can even stand on the grass.  In his mind it's probably a lot better than letting the yucky grass touch his legs.

 He has also started to get into everything.  Isn't he a bit too young to be doing this?

He started walking so much better.

This is from June 14

This is from June 25

So much difference in 11 days!

He is also army crawling really quickly.

Maybe one day he'll figure out real crawling.

One of his new favorite spots is behind the curtain.

This month we went to a drag race.

The headphones made him so funny.  He was silent and very serious every time we put them on him but in between races we would take them off and he would light up and start jabbering.  It was like he was amazed that he was able to hear again.

His new obsessions are doors and door stops.

This month has also brought out his opinionated side.  He only want to do things when and how he wants them done.  He screams and throws a fit when I try to change his diaper.  One day, I was changing him and he was being perfectly lovely then when I got the diaper off he started screaming like he was terribly hurt.  I stood him up (without putting on a new diaper) and this is the result:

Little stink peed all over my leg!  And he was fine, just screaming because he can.

How cute is this little?

Oh. My. Goodness.  I could eat him up!

Here are a bunch of pictures:
