Andrew: 10 Months

Happy 10 Months baby Andrew!

This month was very much the same as last month...your personality continued to emerge! You are a very playful, loud, curious, impatient baby. You are never content to sit and observe. You want to be exploring everything, touching everything, tasting everything, or yelling at everyone.

I am absolutely your favorite person. You have pretty bad separation anxiety. If someone else holds you, you will definitely cry. And even when it's just us at home, you like to stay near me and have me in your sight. You love your Mommy! 
You started jabbering more this month. You say Dada, yea-yea, Mama, and this. You also sometimes say "Hi Dada" when you see your Daddy!
We are beginning to suspect you may be a lefty. You seem to favor that hand when eating. You got some toy balls for Christmas and you have been picking them up and throwing them! Future baseball player? You also love to clap, and if we say "clap-clap" you will usually clap on command.
You adore food. I put the finger foods on your tray and you immediately grab and shove everything in your mouth. You love eating and if I'm not feeding you fast enough, you will bang your head against the back of your highchair. Talk about impatient!
Andrew you are so close to walking! You love to stand up and cruise around holding onto furniture. But when I hold my hands out to you to encourage a step, you start doing a nervous laugh/cry. It's like you want to take a step, but you're afraid. It will happen soon!
I've had it with the whole no-sleeping thing. This week we decided to do some sort of sleep-training. I tried letting you cry at naptime, after nursing and rocking you. I went in periodically to check on you and comfort you and lay you back down. After two hours of crying you eventually fell asleep...standing up! I came into the room to find you asleep with your face resting on your hands on top of the crib railing. It was so pitiful! I laid you down and patted you back to sleep, and you napped for 20 minutes. Ugh.
We love you so much baby Drewski!
