Our little peanut is another month older already. Ava is starting to stand up along side furniture now and is even brave enough to go "one handed". She can stand for several minutes while just hanging on to the couch or chair. She seems to really enjoy this new found skill. Here is the skinny at 10 months....
Teeth: Still none. The good news is she doesn't seem to be drooling as much as before. I can't recall changing her shirt in the last month because of it so that's a good sign.
Sleep: Ava sleeps from around 8:30 or 9:00 pm until 8:00 am. We have been putting her to bed a little later because she wasn't falling asleep anyway and with our summer schedule, it was a bit challenging to get her down by 8:00. She still takes an hour and a half nap in the morning and a two hour nap in the afternoon.
Food: We have graduated to stage 2 baby food. She eats a whole jar a day, usually split between lunch and supper. She also will not turn away anything you give her to try off your plate. She seems to be a really good eater at this point. She still nurses often.
Movement: Ava is able to get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but no crawling yet. Her favorite place to practice this skill is in her crib when she is supposed to be going to sleep! She has also mastered going from the sitting position to pivoting to her stomach. Things are looking promising on the crawling front, but I am thinking it will for sure be another month or so.
Ava is still wearing 12-18 month clothes and she doesn't seem to be growing out of them. Her growth rate seems to be a little slower. Overall, she is doing very well. She has a little separation anxiety when Mom & Dad leave, but that is to be expected with most kids. I am sure it is just one of the many stages we will go through.
