April 21st Adelyn turned 10 months old! I cannot believe that in less than 2 months I will have a 1 year old! It just seems like yesterday she was a tiny baby! Now she’s a happy little girl on the go!
Last month Adelyn got a music table that I mentioned in her 9 month post. Well she started pushing it all over the house. Since it wasn’t made to be a walker toy (read: not safe for a baby learning to walk!), we decided to purchase a walking toy and she LOVES it! She is so proud of herself walking all over the house. It’s so cute to watch her. As she walks across the room she always has to look over to make sure we're watching her! I have a feeling she will be walking by the time her 1st birthday rolls around.
Adelyn’s crawling has been put into super drive! She is SO fast! She will get across the room in no time. She’s starting to give Abby a run for her money! We have been working on “hi” and “bye” this month and she is doing really well. She puts her arm out, palm side up, and opens and closes her hand. Not quite right, but it’s pretty cute!
She is still not a fan of her changing table. We either both take on the task or distract her with a toy or her toothbrush! She also doesn’t like to get in her carseat. Once she’s in it, for the most part, she’s content. We’ve been using snacks to distract her. I’m thinking that once we turn her facing forward in a few months she’ll be more happy in her carseat.
Adelyn got her 6th & 7th teeth this month. She got her top one to the right of her top 2 and also her first molar on the bottom left. The molar just popped through the week of April 15th. We were SO surprised to see it. She wasn’t 100% herself, but not anything close to what I thought she would be while getting a molar.
She is still biting. Usually 3 times/week we have to sign an incident report at daycare. I just feel so bad that she biting other kids. I can’t imagine how those parents are feeling. The workers at her daycare remind that this is normal and right now she isn’t old enough to realize it something that hurts others, she is just doing it because she is teething. Since we found her molar this week the biting makes sense. We’re still working on it though, telling her “No biting” and thumping her. We’re hoping one of these days she’s learns!
Adelyn is doing SO well with table/finger foods. For the most part she will eat what are having. We are still waiting on the 5 foods to avoid before her first year. She is such a good eater and loves her fruits & veggies. She usually she has 3 “meals” a day and 2 snacks. In addition to that she also nurses 3 times/day and/or has a bottle of pumped breastmillk at daycare, one when she wakes up, one at noon, and one before bed.
Adelyn you are growing up so fast! You are such a happy, easy baby and we love you more and more everyday! You are such a fun girl and we are thankful to be blessed to be your parents!
