Bennett at 10 Months

Oh Bennett!  10 months old already?!  And I'm only a week and 2 days late in posting...oops!

 Stats: about 26 pounds and almost 32 inches tall
He actually lost almost a pound this month from the nasty stomach bug.

 Eating: We are still on the same schedule.  7 oz bottles at 8:30 am, 12:30, 4:30, and 7:30.  And his biggest accomplishment in the past few weeks is that he is mostly sleeping through the night now!  About once or twice a week he wakes up about 5 for a bottle and then goes right back to sleep.  Hooray!  Only took 10 months! :) He eats oatmeal and a fruit for breakfast about 7:30, fruit and veggie for lunch at 12, and meat and veggie for dinner about 6:30.  We've tried a few table foods, and he has absolutely no interest in them!  He closes his mouth tight and wants nothing to do with it!

 Personality: Adventurous, curious, charming, BUSY, social, easy going, sweet - just to name a few!  He makes us laugh all of the time!  But he is also trouble!  I can't take my eyes off of him for a second.  Bennett is into everything.  And even though he's so busy, he always needs cuddles from me for a few minutes before he's off to do something else.  So sweet!

 Sleeping: Bennett goes to bed about 8pm and sleeps until about 7am.  Thankfully it seems we are making major progress sleeping through the night!  He naps from 9-10 and 1:30-3:30.  

 Likes: sticking out his tongue, dancing, wrestling, being outside, reading books, playing with trucks - he needs some of his own for his birthday!, singing, Mickey, the refrigerator, swimming

 Dislikes: getting his diaper changed - he hates having to be still, being told no, having something taken away from him

 Milestones: (mostly) sleeping through the night!!  He now has 8 teeth, 4 top and 4 bottom.  Cruising around everything.  Just in the past week or so he is standing on his own for about 5 seconds a time.  I really expect him to take off walking very soon.  Saying Mama, Dada, and Bubba very regularly and knowing who he is talking about.  

 Clothes: He is in mostly 12 month clothes, with a few 12-18 month things.  Size 5 diapers.  And he got his first pair of shoes on Saturday!  We were just browsing at Academy for some and found the exact ones that Graham has.  So of course we had to get them for Bennett!  He needed a size 6...yikes!

 Favorite Moments: We are just enjoying our sweet, easy going baby.  We've done a ton of travelling lately and are busy with VBS at church this week.  And he is just always ready for the next adventure, adapting and being flexible, napping wherever we need him to, and just always so happy and content.  

 Looking forward to: planning his and Graham's birthday party!

 Oh that face!

 And he's going to be my climber.  He finds ways to get off the ground all the time!


 Matching shoes for my boys!



I'm so thankful for my sweet Bennett!
