PAW 2.0: 10 months

This month you...

-are crawling much faster.

-love chasing your brother. Especially when I say, "get him sis!" You laugh and crawl as fast as you can after him. He's in for it when you learn to walk because you already do great at keeping up with him.

-pull yourself up to standing all the time and you cruise along furniture well.

-say 'mmm' whenever you eat.

-eat just about whatever we give you.

-say mama, dada, yeah, and uh-oh, all on queue.

-put everything in your mouth. I hate this phase.

We're easing into a new sleep phase. Sigh... You've been sleeping in the Nap Nanny Chill your whole life. (It's likely the best baby purchase I've ever made.) When you became more mobile and we stopped swaddling you, we started latching you in. When you learned to push up and kick out of the straps we just tightened it a bit. But we think you're finally at the age where it's not going to work anymore. I've loved it because it's done wonders for your sensitive tummy/reflux. And you sleep so comfortably and peacefully. And I'm not a fan of tummy sleeping too young and this kept you on your back, or just barely on your side. So, last night was our first full night of no Nap Nanny. You were free to move, free to roll, and free to wake up... You woke up at mid-night and at 4am. And then you were up for the day at 9am. I guess it could have been worse. And I know this is a big change and will take some getting used to. So please get used to it in a week or less, because that's how long I've told myself it'll take, and I need my sleep. Naps today without it went surprisingly well. The first one was almost 3 hours, and the second one was about an hour. I've had you nap a couple of times without it this past week, and twice I've found you sleeping sitting up and just slumped forward. So cute and so uncomfortable looking.
