Ten months old!

Harper is 10 months old!

\
Stats: To come at 1 year check up


Nicknames: Her nick names continue to evolve. The most common is "baby sister".

Eat: Continues to breast feed every 3-4 hours during the day (5 times). She sleeps for about 11 hrs straight through the night. She will occasionally wake up once in the night or early am but goes right back down after a I nurse her. Takes a bottle when Mom is not available. ;) She drinks about 5oz. Likes to drink water from a sippy cup, but drops it down to the floor when she's done, just like her brother used to do. She takes a binkie for naps, bedtime and anytime she finds one laying around or is fussy. When we're out of the house, I usually attach one to her.

Solids: She is a very adventurous eater and eats anything and everything you put in front of her. I have some purees in the freezer that she'll eat but she prefers small pieces that she can pick up. Will eat pouches if were out of the house. She eats an egg, dry cheerios (while waiting for egg to cook) and fruit for breakfast. She LOVES eggs! Eats lunch (sometimes a pureed veggie and/or fruit) around 11/11:30am but lately will eat whatever we are eating. Dinner is usually what we eat but also a pureed veggie and/or fruit around 5/5:30pm. Still munches on puffs and mum mums for snacks. Signs- (more, all done) we are still working on, she smiles and sometimes giggles when you sign to her but also moves her arms around.

Sleep: Naps- Two: 9:30-11 and 1:30/2-3:30. Starts on her back and flips to her belly to sleep. Wears sleep sack, and has a binkie and white noise. We moved her crib down a couple weeks ago because she was standing up. She actually fell out. :( Thankfully she is okay but major parent fail, I felt soo bad.
Bedtime- I nurse her at 7 and lay her down with binkie. Usually goes right to sleep on her own. She's waking up between 6:30/7am. Still a pretty flexible sleeper and naps great in her crib, ergo (30 min), car and pac n play.

Activity: Is crawling everywhere and a week ago found the stairs. We let her climb up when someone is there to stand behind her. Hudson has been a great help letting us know if she is around the stairs and cheers her on when she is climbing. Still chews and sucks on everything. Likes to stand against things and can pull herself up to standing. Favorite games are peek a boo and patty cake and any song you sing to her. She loves the singing bear that was Hudson's. Bath time is always a favorite, especially with Hudson. She still sits in her infant tub inside the big tub. Has been standing while in there.

Social: Has been playing by herself for longer periods. Likes Hudson's toys and always makes her way to his Duplos. Still doesn't like when people leave the room especially if she is alone. Very ticklish all over. Is very chatty and loud, especially if Hudson is around and being loud to her. Loves to stick her tongue out and will mimic it if you do it to her. Definitely has stranger anxiety, she needs plenty of time to warm up to her surroundings. Does not like being told 'No' or have things taken from her. She will cry and get mad! Adores her brother and is always looking for him, gives him big smiles. Knows how to wave but won't always do it on command.

Words: Mosly just babbling but has occasionally looked at me and said, Mamamama, and also baba

Teeth: 5 (2 on bottom, 3 on top)

Temperament: usually happy but determined and vocal too

Appearance: Big brown/green eyes, long eye lashes, dark hair, big cheeks. Olive complexion. Some people have said she is looking like Matt. I think she is a good combination of both of us right now.
