10 months old!

Happy 10 months, Austin!  Here's what you've been up to this month.

Week 1
  • Claps if you ask him (clap your hands!)
  • Release toys into your hand if you ask for it
  • Pulls to standing with ease
  • Crawls same speed as Roomba
  • Cruise-walking when holding onto anything

Week 2
  • Went to Gymboree for the first time!  Had a blast.
  • Started the Cry It Out sleep training method out of desperation, after 3 days, went to sleeping through the night 8:30 PM to 6 AM
  • "Crying" when put down reduced to about 2-10 minutes, about 4-5 on average.  Consistently self-soothes to sleep now
  • Back to shaking his head
  • Independent chewing/crunching with teeth
  • Waves bye-bye
  • Likes to watch Elmo on Sesame Street

Week 3
  • Got sick with whatever mom has
  • Regressed with sleep (teeth? cold? growth spurt?) - back to waking up at 2 AM to feed, but still able to go to sleep within minutes after put down, independently
  • Occasionally lets go and stands independently (VERY occasionally)
  • Throws his hands above his head
  • Eating 3 "real" meals a day now
  • Plays with shape sorter, with assistance
  • Demonstrates a set daytime routine with two naps now:
    • 7:30 AM wake up
    • 8-9:30 AM milk, then breakfast
    • 10:30 AM first nap time (anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours)
    • 12 PM milk, then lunch
    • 3 PM milk, then 2nd nap time (anywhere from 1-3 hours)
    • 6 PM milk
    • 7 PM dinnertime
    • 8:30-9 PM bath time, milk, story time, then bedtime

Week 4
  • Drinks independently from a Sippy cup (after we showed him liquid is actually inside!)
  • Slept for the first time in MONTHS, 10 PM to 7:30 AM NO awakenings
  • Starting to FEEL heavier - weight gain???
