Cullyn {10 Months}

 You're 10 Months Cully Man!
I'm flooded with emotions at the thought of planning your FIRST birthday...it seems unread!  You are acting like a little boy more and more every day. 
You just came down with a nasty double ear infection {despite working tubes} last week, and hand, food & mouth this week, but you're still sleeping through the night!  We lay you down around 8p and you sleep until we wake you {usually 7} or 8a.  You're still taking a morning nap {up to an hour}, an afternoon nap {about an hour}, and a little, early evening nap {up to 30 minutes}.  I'm hoping to cut your evening nap soon.  
You eat about four, eight-ounce bottles throughout the day.  You're getting better about drinking your bottle all in one sitting at 8a, noon, 4p, and 8p.  You're 100% on table food now.  We finely dice everything up and you feed yourself.  You’ve had avacados, puffs, peaches, pears, fruit bars, green beans, pees, cheerios, eggs, lasagna, chicken, pizza, yogurt, and pancakes.  Green beans, yogurt and pancakes are your favorite right now!
You're in size 3 diapers, size 6 or 9 month onesies, and 9 month clothes.  You wear 6-12 month jammies.  You weigh 18 lbs. We still aren't good about putting shoes one you, but we're going to start this month.  You wear size 4's.  You have 6 teeth {4 on top, 2 on bottom}
You’re pulling yourself up and crawling to everything now.  You refuse to sit in the bathtub, which as resulted in some pretty good bumps and bruises.  :(  You can no longer be trusted by stairs or the dog food bowls!  Anything you find on the floor goes directly into your mouth.  You love to eat paper, steal your sister's sippy cups, and play with your drum set! :)  You can giggle and say dada and mama, but you don't really 'talk' much.  
You celebrated your first Valentine's Day, you're good at going up the stairs and decent at coming back down, and you stayed with Gram and Papa for a week while your sitter was on vacation.
We are so blessed to have you.  You light up the room with your huge smile.  We love you so much!  --Mama & Daddy

Jordyn Lynn [10 Months]

You're double [month] digits girl!  Happy 10 Month Birthday!

You actually play now.  It's adorable to watch you do your own thing.  You crawl from room to room [or wherever anyone else is] in about two seconds flat.  The kids at daycare play 'Jordyn Monster' with you.  Which of course is when the kids run to a room to 'hide' and you crawl in and they all scream as loud as they can.  I'm sure Miss Courtney is a huge fan! :)  You're also pulling yourself up to things [specifically your mama's pant leg] more and more. 
You're about 20lbs already.  Your clothes are mainly 9-12 months; your jammies 12-18 months, onsies 9 months, jeans 12-18 months onsies, and size 3 diapers.  You still have four teeth, but I think your fifth one is coming in.
Your schedule looks like this...wake, bottle, breakfast, play...lunch, bottle, nap, play...dinner, play, bottle, bed.  You're starting to eat 'chunkier' things like cut up peaches, bananas, pears, avacados, etc.  Greek yogurt and apple sauce are still your favorite.  Peas, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower are well liked too.  You still have no interest in a sippy cup and we've recently started giving you a bottle in your crib when you go to bed...I'm hoping we don't regret that!  :(

We went to Wisconsin for a mini vacation with mama's, mom's family.  You traveled through Minnesota and to Wisconsin for the first time.  You also went to the park and the Iowa State Fair for the first time this month.  You helped me celebrate my first birthday as a mama, too! :)
Love you to the moon & back baby girl,
Mama and Daddy
