ten months old

Asher, you are 10 months old!

In his now traditional way, Asher is growing and changing at warp speed.  This month has been a big one for Mr. A!  He started 'army' crawling to get from place to place and just a few days ago starting pulling his belly off the ground.

Asher is much too cool to be seen with his elephant.

I could only really get a picture when I let A play with my camera bag {bribe? no, of course not}

Ash has also been super busy in general.  This boy never stops moving!  Even when he's laying down, apparently zoning out, his feet or hands are tapping.  He is curious about everything and constantly tries to jump out of my arms to grab, touch, and reach for things.

So far his milk allergy appears to have vanished.  I have been eating dairy products all month and haven't noticed any blood or mucus in his poo.  Praise God!  When he's 12 months old we'll try to give him dairy products directly to see how it goes.

At 10 months, Asher:

• weighs about 20 pounds
• is 29 inches long
• wears size 3 diapers
• wears size 9-12 month clothes
• has 4 teeth
• drinks 4, 7oz bottles a day
• eats 3 cubes (3oz) twice a day
• eats 2 cubes (2oz) at lunch
• eats Puffs, but refuses all other finger foods
• loves bath time and tries to jump from my arms into the tub!
• sleeps 11-12 hours at night (7p-7a)
• takes 2 naps (9am + 1pm)
• talks constantly {but I can't understand anything yet!}
• gives kisses and high-fives
• will show us that he's 'so big!'

 Asher, you are such a fun little boy.  We are seeing your personality come out more and more every day.  It's a thrill to watch you learn new things.  You clearly understand what I say - I can't wait to understand what you say!  Your Daddy and I love you very much - happy 10 month birthday!
