10 Months

Deacon - you are 10 months old!

• You weigh 23 lbs. and are 29 inches tall!
  
  
• You wear 12-18 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

• You celebrated your first Thanksgiving this month and are quickly approaching your very first Christmas!!
  
  
• One of my nicknames for you is walkie-talkie because that is exactly what you are doing now! You have figured this walking thing out and we have counted 14 steps without falling!! You are continuing to jabber mostly with your favorite two words: dada and mama.
  
  

• We have added a little table food to your diet. You have tried pasta, banana, french fries, and some thanksgiving dishes. You are willing to try anything, but need to work on your gag reflex a little because you can give us a scare with sounds you make while eating.
  
  
• You have 6 teeth now, 4 on top, 2 on bottom. The bottom ones are really prominent when you smile, and the top ones are starting to come down into view. I love your teethies, but will miss that gummy smile of yours.
  
  
• Our other name for you is Catnap King. For some reason you have given up long naps during day and take a couple of 10-20 minute naps; the only time they last longer is in the car or stroller.
  
  
• Your favorite new activity is bed bouncing! All we have to do is sing "Monkey's Jumping on the Bed" and you go to town! You are brave just like Carson was too and love for Dada to throw you in the air and hang you upside down! (And Brian loves scaring Meme by doing this...)
