Ryan: 10 Months

All About Me at 10 Months:

My weight:  17 pounds, 1 ounce on June 25th.

My length:  26 inches

What size I wear:  Still mostly 3-6 month, but moving into some 6-9 month

What I like to eat: Fruit, mum mums, puffs, and sweet veggies.  I'm not big on green veggies, but mommy makes me eat them anyway! I'm also eating a few finger foods like blueberries, cheerios, and peas.

What I like to do: Eat, stand and play, get my belly kissed, play in the bathtub, listen to music, go for strolls and drives.  I also love to sit outside and enjoy the breeze and bubbles.

What I don't like: Daddy yelling "UH-OH!" loud and obnoxiously.

How I sleep:  I pretty much sleep through the night from 9:30 to 7:00 or so.  I'm doing much better at sleeping in my crib!

Sounds I make: I finally said "mom" and "mama" and my first real word was "uh-oh!"  I say it every time something drops on the floor :)

Did I go anywhere?  I went to my first birthday party for neighbor Sylvia.  I also went swimming at Grammy & Papa's.  I went to the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield to see the Giraffes!  Oh, and I had an MRI at the hospital because of my big head.  Luckily, they found out it's nothing to worry about!

Things I learned to do: I can go from laying to sitting up on my own!  I can usually get where I want to go just by strategically rolling. I clap and wave and feed myself my own bottle and drink from my sipping cup.    

What else?  I grew two bottom teeth and am working on my 3rd one.  I had my first 4th of July celebration.  I stayed home with mom and dad to play outside and watch the neighbors set off fireworks.  The close ones were a bit scary, but I clapped as I watched all of the far away ones.  Can't wait til next year!
