10 months




Char is 10 months old!  Right now, he

~has gotten so fast at crawling.  He started bear crawling and pulling up to his knees... hasn't quite made it onto his feet yet.
~still has no teeth.  Claire didn't get her first one until 11 months... we'll see if he beats that record.
~waves hi, bye, claps, signs 'more' and 'all done'.
~says mama, dada, hi, and kitty.  His first word was kitty.  I know that seems weird, but many people have witnessed it.  He loves to 'talk'!
~gives kisses.  Read: open mouth, drooly, spit-filled love on your lips.  ;)
~nurses twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed.
~drinks water out of his sippy cup like a boss but still refuses to take a bottle.
~has no solid napping schedule, because of his older sisters and their school schedules.  Some days he takes two naps, usually 9 and 1 and other days he just takes one, usually around 11:30.
~has started crying when you take away something he wants.  Yikes!  Seems so little for that!
~loses his mind everyday around 4 until I put him to bed.  Dinnertime is the worst.  He just cries and fusses and wants to go to bed.  His mama just might be losing HER mind now.

Can't believe we are so close to turning ONE.  Parenting three has been HARD.  Much harder than I thought it would be. I am physically and emotionally spent at the end of each day.  With that said, this kid has brought us so much joy.  It is worth it.  Totally.  Love you, Char man!

Does having 3 kids help you to appreciate what your mom and dad went through just a little bit more? I knew I wanted at least 3 kids because that is what I grew up with but you are right, 3 is hard! You wonder how many directions your mind can go! :) You are such a good Mommy, Annie. You don't give yourself enough credit. Remember you have a helper, God will NEVER leave you or forsakes you.
