ten months old

The little lady is ten months old today!


This last month has been a huge one for Kennedy.  She has so many new tricks!  On the flip side, month 9 was the month of NO SLEEP.  Hooooooly cow.  Will we ever sleep again?

At ten months you:
  • Crawl like a maniac.  The inch worm is gone.
  • Clap your hands.  Love this!  You haven't quite figured out context for hand clapping.  Clap when you're tired, clap when you're crying, any time is a good time for clapping.
  • Pull yourself up on everything.  It's a whole new world.
  • Eat a little better then you have been.  We're doing a lot of yogurt, cheese, and whole fruit that I let you take bites of. 
  • Naps are going great.  You're still on a two nap schedule.  It's the night sleep that is killing us.
  • Have five seven teeth.  The two bottom front, a molar, and the fangs.  Here's hoping this lasts until Halloween. *didn't work out.  two front teeth broke through yesterday
  • Juuuust started cruising.  A few steps at a time to get to a toy that you really want.
  • Still nursing.  You take a sippy cup pretty well, so I plan on giving you a sippy of breast milk if I ever have anywhere to go.  Not that I do...

You love:
  • Dancing!  You spontaneously break into dance moves constantly.
  • Your Baby Jamz chair.  It plays hip hop versions of baby songs.  Most ridic hand-me-down ever.  And by ridic, I mean awesome.
  • Giving high fives. 
  • Brie.  New favorite cheese.  
  • Other babies.  You go crazy.


Struggles:
  • Sleeping through the night.  Haha.  Now that you can pull yourself up, you wake yourself up and get stuck standing up at your crib.  This makes it very difficult to self soothe.  
  • You've started to have stranger anxiety toward men if they get in your face.  It's happened three times when a man is really excited to see you.  You start freaking out and crying hysterically.  Poor baby :(

Highlights of the Month:
  • I'm so tired that I can't remember...
  • Mormor and Grandpa Cliff came to visit.
  • Ridiculous heat!  We've been using our kiddie pool to beat it.

We are so thankful for you, Kennedy Jane!  You are the light of our life!
