10 months

10 months old today

I can't believe how quickly time is flying by....my sweet BABY is 10 months old already! Over the past month Ephram has gotten much more active and pretty much starts crawling as soon as he's put down. He is still such a happy baby and if he does get upset he calms down after he's picked up.

Eating: He drinks 24 oz of milk a day (4 times) and eats three meals. Ephram pretty much eats whatever we put in front of him. Sometimes he gets tired of it in the middle of eating and will turn his head after it's in his mouth and SPIT it out on the floor. This is TOTALLY new to us...never had one do this! He also spits up unlike any of our others. He goes through at least two outfits a day. He doesn't always drink all of his bottle but doesn't seem to be hungry before meal times. After saying that though, he does like most foods. This month he tried: cottage cheese, strawberries, oatmeal, hummus, chicken, ham, pancakes, pineapple, hamburger meat, black beans, and I'm sure will try a lot more while we're at Nonny and Poppy's for Easter. He can not figure out how to drink out of a sippy cup but I'm not concerned:).

Sleeping: He still takes 2 two hour naps and sleeps 12 hours at night.

Communication: Ephram hasn't picked up more signs but continues with "all done" and dances when we say "more" or "please". He babbles up a storm and can 'roar' like a lion:). He will sometimes way 'hi' on his own but it's not consistent.

Physical: Other than crawling, Ephram has also learned how to get up vertically on his knees like he's reaching for something up high. He can sit on his knees and put a leg up (almost like he's going to stand). He is getting better at standing but doesn't last very long...again...this mama is in NO rush for the walking to begin:). He still loves to dance and jump in his 'jumpy'.

His siblings continue to dote on him and help me SO much with taking care of him. They love and adore him and are always asking what they can do to help. They love watching him learn new things as much as I do!

starting to get into 'trouble' but responds
well to the word "NO" (so far:)
