O's Ten Month Update



10 Month Stats
Weight: 20lbs 4oz 
Length: 29.25 inches 
Head Circum: 


Clothing Size
  • 9 and 6-12 Months depending on the brand.
  • Shoe size 2


Eating
  • The moment you put this one in her highchair she starts talking and screaming and grabbing and shrieking. Hilarious.
  • Breakfast is around 7am. Always fruit. Loves her yogurt. She will have whole plain greek yogurt mixed with a fruit puree, we have a batch of blueberry/cherry that she is gobbling up. A couple times a week she will have oatmeal with pears and cinnamon.
  • Lunch is promptly at 12pm. Two veggies and a meat.
  • Dinner around 5:30. Two veggies and a meat.
  • We have started making all your fruits and veggies this month. So far we have a blueberry/cherry blend, pears, carrots, peas, zucchini, purple sweet potato and roasted carrots/parsnips/butternut squash.
  • Not a fan of green veggies but will eat them mixed with another veggies such as carrot or sweet potato.
  • Snacks consist of yogurt melts, veggie melts, lil' crunchies from gerber, puffs of all shapes and sizes. But the favorite are the melts (freeze dried fruits and veggies)
  • Although still breastfed you will take a bottle at nap time with Daddy or Jessica, as well as sippy cups through out the day when Mommy is at work.

Sleeping
  • Bedtime starts around 6:30 with a bath, followed by lotion, hair brush and jammies. We go around the house and kiss every one good night and then go back to the nursery and pick out a book to read. I hold up two books, one in each hand, and generally the right hand gets picked but occasionally the left. After story time I lay you down and wrap you up in a "soft" blanket and then a large swaddle. Then we walk over to the light switch and Olivia turns off the light and shuts the door. We nurse and once asleep, or very sleepy and unlatched, it is bed time. Sleeping generally around 7:15pm-6:30am.
  • There were a couple weeks with multiple wake-ups during the night but once we started wrapping you up in two blankets that has stopped. It seemed you would wiggle around at night and get cold.
  • Napping twice a day. Morning nap around 9-10 and Afternoon nap around 2:30-3:30
  • It is rare these days for a nap to last longer than an hour for Mommy, but I hear it happens for both Daddy and Jessica.
  • We drove down to San Jose to visit one of my best friends who had recently moved closer to us and you slept on the ride down (for about 20 mins) and on the ride back home! I was so proud of you because in the past you and the car were not friends.

Milestones
  • Just working on refining all the new skills you learned in the past months!

  • You are not a fan of green veggies, but will tolerate them if they are mixed with something you like. Generally sweet potato, carrots or squash.
  • You are eating a fruit with whole milk yogurt or oatmeal in the morning. We keep the oatmeal to just a couple times a week because it seems to "stop you up" and I would prefer not to have two constipated babies.

  • After Dinner is finished if you are still hungry I will put you a few snacks on your tray and you will pick them up one by one and munch away!
