This last month-
Calvin has learned how to give kisses! I love it, it's my favorite thing. I honestly can't stand how cute he is... Literally... I could eat him.
He cut his two front teeth! I mean that's all he wanted for Christmas anyways ;)
He taught himself how to stand up in the middle of the floor! This one shocked me the most... Usually babies don't do this until after they've started walking... They walk and then they fall down and crawl to something sturdy to help stand themselves back up. Then they get sick of doing that so they learn to stand up. Well I guess Calvin got it backwards... Haha. It's fine ;)
He started walking! He started taking more and more steps around Christmas time, and by New Years he was taking around 15 steps at a time! He is getting better and better, he hardly wants to crawl anymore. It helps that he knows how to stand too so he doesn't have to crawl to something when he falls down. I could watch him walk all day, it is the cutest thing. And he is always blowing bubbles or jabbering to himself whenever he walks haha... I can't help but laugh. He kills me!
He is getting better at sleeping at night! He sleeps through the night at least 3 days out of the week now... I told Tyler a few months back that we weren't even going to speak of having more children until we had 6 full months of Calvin sleeping through the night... Hehe. Not sure that will be the case ;)
He starting eating "the gross baby food" and liking it. You know, like the "turkey and rice dinner" and "chicken and veggies"... Gross. But he likes it so that's good.
A few of Calvin's favorite things:
Taking baths... Still
Riding in the shopping carts
Playing with dad's basketball
Riding in his red car
Being outside
Playing hide and seek and "chase"
At ten months, Calvin weighs 20 lbs, and is in the 12th percentile for his height. He is happy and healthy and is ahead in all of his milestones.
A day in the life- cal wakes up between 9-10 (I know right... I'm one lucky momma) I'll go get him from his crib and we play with his toys. He Eats his breakfast and has a bottle. We play for a bit and then he takes a nap about two hours after he wakes up for 2-3 hours. After his morning nap, Tyler is usually awake by then from working the night shift, and we will go out to the store or something to get out of the house. He takes another nap around 5 for about 2 hours. After he wakes up he takes a bottle and has dinner. We play some more and then it's time for bed between 9-10.
What a crazy last month it's been! By far filled with the most firsts for little cal. Not only does he learn for himself, but he learns for me also! I learn so much from him... I will be forever grateful. I never thought my heart was capable of so much LOVE. Tyler and I have truly been blessed with the most well mannered and sweetest baby. It makes it hard to want more children! How can they get any better!?
Happy ten months baby Cal! We love you more than words.
