10 Months Old

Colbi,

I still can't believe you are two months away from your first birthday. How can you be 10 months old already! We just brought you home from the hospital not long ago......

Weight: 17.7lbs (17%)

Height: 29inches long (80%)

You are one long, skinny girl! You wear 9-12 months clothes depending on the type of clothing and size 3 diapers.

 You are a busy girl! Crawling is your new favorite thing to do all. day. long. You're pretty fast too! I used to be able to put you down and get something done but you now follow us where ever we go. You're so close to pulling yourself up. You sit on your knees and have pretty good balance. I don't think standing on your own and cruising is far away.

 You love to clap, for us to sing songs, take baths, and STARE. You will stare at everyone and everything, just taking it all in. Strangers aren't too great for you. You really have to warm up to people before anyone new holds you or touches you. I like that quality, that means you're cautious like Mommy!

 You may quite possibly be the happiest baby ever. You wake up happy and pretty much stay that way all day long. Although, being so busy and all, sometimes you get cranky about naps because you don't want to miss anything. You still take two naps a day and they usually last anywhere from 1.5-2hrs each.

 We are moving you to strictly table food. The transition has been good, but we do still feed some purees. You like pretty much everything except peas and squash. We will eat waffles, toast, oatmeal, yogurt, donut holes (don't judge!), but your favorite thing to eat are puffs (good since they offer no sort of nutritional value what-so-ever). You also like goldfish, eggs, cheese, and lots of other fun things you get to eat at Jenn's house.

I must say, Jenn (your sitter) LOVES you. She says you brighten her day with your smile and easy go-with-the-flow attitude. When I keep you at home sometimes, she gets sad because she says her day doesn't feel complete without you there.

 You are usually in bed at night about 7:30pm and sleep till around 6:30ish. But you can play in the morning time for awhile before we have to go get you. You love to talk and sing. Sometimes Mommy just listens to you because it makes her smile.

You can say Mama, Dada, ba ba, and hi. You also say Awa a lot. We have no idea what that means but Daddy thinks you just happen to know about the blue people in Avatar and their "Tree God". Mommy isn't sure about that one.

You are such a fun, loving baby and we just love you so very much. I still can't believe you're ours! I thank the good Lord daily for you Colbi Morgan!

Love,

Daddy & Mommy
