It’s October and child boy is 10 months previous! This age has been so enjoyable. He’s not only a blab, however can get round and actually seems like a part of the household now. On a regular basis after work I’ll play with him and love on him as a result of I do know this time is fleeting and the subsequent factor I do know, he’ll be 5 years previous. I completely love this age and wish to soak all of it in. His odor, his plump cheeks, his breath, his tiny toes, it’s all so intoxicating. Sure, that’s how a lot I wish to eat him up day by day, ha!

We’re formally on an ideal schedule now that Harper is again in class. We had been really in a position to change up our days with our nanny, so it actually seems like we’re in a superb circulation. We’re at present doing 8am-3pm M-Th with our nanny. I’m nonetheless completely breastfeeding, so I get these little moments all through the day with Cam, that are my favourite. I must also be aware, Cam loves our nanny, so it makes all of this a lot simpler.

New at 10 Months

The event and development in yr one is totally insane. I swear he was only a blab final week, lol. Cam is formally crawling! I feel all of it occurred proper when he turned 10 months. Little man is stepping into every little thing and pulling up on something in sight. We’ve got to rethink the home as a result of it seems like we are able to’t take our eyes off him for one second. We haven’t child proofed something but, actually. I feel we put tape on just a few retailers, however nothing else. Keep tuned to see what we find yourself doing. Cam developed his pincer grasp, so he’s having enjoyable feeding himself. I can’t overlook to say all of the yelling, pointing and babbling he’s doing. He’s getting very vocal and it’s the sweetest factor.

A be aware on crawling. Not till we made a concerted effort with ground time did Cam actually begin crawling. Tummy time and time on the ground are completely vital for this to develop. Harper solely actually military crawled and it was later proper earlier than she walked, so it wasn’t lengthy. And now I do know why – we didn’t dedicate time on the ground. We didn’t dedicate the time with Cam both up till 8-9 months. As soon as we did that, he acquired the cling of crawling. So, to any mamas on the market making an attempt to get their child to crawl, it’s all about being on the ground. Begin them from the start. 

Naps

We’re nonetheless doing 2 naps/day. He’s been giving us 1 good nap and 1 quick nap. I used to be simply speaking to our nanny and we each stated, possibly he’s simply by no means going to be a superb napper, lol. He sleeps nicely at night time, can put himself to sleep, and all that, however naps are a wrestle bus. We play together with his awake time, we have now him on the ground getting all his power out, you title it and naps nonetheless aren’t constant. I discussed in my final month-to-month replace, it’s not that huge of a deal due to his age and with the ability to be up and joyful, however nonetheless.

Feedings

We’re nonetheless nursing 4x/day and having solids after the primary 3 feedings. Cam’s been consuming extra selection on a regular basis. We give him his Yumi purees, however we additionally give him no matter we’re consuming – eggs, hen, oatmeal, raviolis, pancakes, salmon, cheese, potatoes, and many others. I’m formally the one plant-based eater in our family as of late. Cam developed his pincer grasp, so he’s doing a superb job feeding himself with some meals.

Awake Time

We’re between 3-3.5 hours of awake time (3 within the morning after which steadily rising). I feel I’ve talked about this earlier than, but when we wish to get out of the home to do one thing as a household, we prefer to go after his first nap. That manner we are able to all prep ourselves to get out of the home within the morning/whereas he naps after which as soon as Cam wakes, I’ll feed him, and we’re able to go. This offers us probably the most time whereas we’re out earlier than we have now to get house for his nap. We do our greatest to spend his awake time on the ground enjoying to actually tire him out. Recently, we’ve observed {that a} stroll or automobile trip earlier than his nap actually settles him down and he’ll go down simpler. So we’ll tire him out, feed him solids, after which do a stroll or automobile trip (if we’re operating an errand or selecting up Harper) proper earlier than his nap.

Bedtime

Bedtime has been going easily. Awake for 3.5 hours, tub, pajamas, then nurse him in a loud room (to maintain him awake), say goodnight to Harper, after which I put him down awake. Often takes him not more than 10 minutes earlier than he’s asleep. As soon as he began to crawl, there was one night time that he sat himself up in the course of the night time and he was sitting there whining/crying. We figured he’d lay himself down and return to mattress, however when Mike checked the monitor an hour later, he was nonetheless sitting in the identical place, lol. Mike went in and laid him down, he cried for a bit, however then went again to sleep. After that one night time, he by no means did it once more, lol.
