Here we go, we have reached the 10 month mark and I'm only 10 days late in writing the blog. And my excuse, is you Wildman Briggs have kept me worn out!! This has been a fun month. Now that you have mastered crawling and pulling up, you are cruising around EVERYWHERE! The 9th month started out with you mastering the crawling skills and learning to pull up. We entered this 10th month with a fella who is thinking about walking. This is all just wild.
At the start of this month you developed the BEST new grin! I think it is your attempt to mimic a face your daddy makes. Regardless where it came from, it is hilarious!!
You are truly on a schedule now and I try my best to get things done in the short amount of time that you are down for naps or after we put you down at night. That doesn't leave much time though!! You not only follow a schedule well, but you KNOW your schedule! When it's time to eat you'll let us know, when it's time for your bath you'll crawl down to the bathroom, and once your pajamas are on you'll help brush your teeth, and then within moments of putting you into the crib you're out cold!!
You are now wearing clothes that range from 9mo - 12mo, depending on the brand. However, you are nearly impossible to dress or even to change a diaper. You squirm, wiggle, scream, twist, contort, slide, slither, toss and turn to get away! We have learned that it's best to give you something to distract you, but this doesn't buy us all the time we need. Just today I managed to change your diaper while you were standing up at your toy box!
This month you moved up to the covertible-style car seat since you were quickly outgrowing the baby seat. We are struggling a bit with the new seat since it does fit well in my car as a rear-facing seat. You are an awesome eater now and are really doing well at grasping your own food and getting it into your mouth. This also means you smear it into your eyes, ears and hair!
Another first this month, your first haircut! I have been begging your daddy for months to let me cut the hair around your ears. He finally agreed, but I'm not so sure he'll let me do it again anytime soon. You were not the best client, so I snipped the hairs quickly and the results were not my best work.
We have found several videos on youtube that you enjoy, mostly Elmo. These are a quick way to get your attention, especially when we need to distract you from something else!! Also a great way to get you dancing!! This is one of our favorites ...
We got the news this past month that you'll be moving up soon at daycare. August 21st is move-up day for all the bigger kids and it is also going to be move-up day for you and your buddy Chase. You'll be going into the "creeper" room. We are pretty excited about this since you have certainly outgrown the baby room. We made lots of good friends there and we are certainly going to miss your teachers, so it's a good thing that it is right next door and you'll still be sharing the playground with them!!
