10 Months

Ezra at 10 months

 

I can't believe he is ten months old. That means he's almost a year! Weird! A look at the past month:

Loves

• Junk food (suckers, cookies, etc.)
• Bananas, strawberries, Cheerios, chicken nuggets, and Sloppy Joes (things I have found he'll eat more than a couple bites of)
• Other babies and kids
• CRAWLING! Which I actually love, too. He wears himself out and no more crying because I leave the room!
• Baths with his bath toys, especially his little red boat
• Mirrors
• His mama
• Carrying things in his mouth
• Stealing food from Mom and Dad
• Going to bed (sometimes) 
• Hitting....
• Pushing the button on the X Box
• Baby Einstein
• Putting things in people's mouths and taking them back out, over and over
• Playing with the door stop
• Swinging. He cries when I take him off. 
• YELLING!!! He can yell SO LOUD.

Doesn't Like

• Going to bed (sometimes)
• Being taken away from mommy when he's tired
• Putting on clothes
• Having his face wiped
• Teething (obviously)

He had his first haircut and his first Halloween. Man, I love this kid. I think this is my favorite age so far.

Ezra at 9 months

A look at Ezra this past month

Weight: 17.8 lbs (15th percentile)

Height: 26.9" (5th percentile)

Head circumference: 17.75" (50th percentile)

Loves:

• Fruit (especially strawberries and bananas), sweet stuff, and food in general. He's kind of over the whole puree thing.
• Baths (still)
• Animals
• New people and new things
• Lights (still)
• Getting up on hands and knees/feet and scooting a little. 
• His mommy. We've got a mama's boy.
• Baby Einstein. It's my saving grace.
• Mirrors
• Other babies
• Putting everything in his mouth.
• Being tickled
• Ikea 
• Peeing every time I open his diaper.
• Gargling liquids and then spitting them out.

Hates

• Changing his diaper
• Changing clothes
• Having things taken away from him
• Being left alone
• Being tired and going to bed
• Most vegetables

There are pros and cons to the new routine. It is nice to know about when Ezra will be tired and how long I have to do whatever. But, we are slaves to it. He is no fun at church (during nap time) and since he goes to bed so early, we have to get a sitter any time we want to do things in the evening, or put up with a really fussy baby.
