DOUBLE DIGITS

Dixon turned 10 months old on April 5th.


(He would NOT lie still for his photo)



(So we took one with his walker)

At ten months he is...

  • crawling like crazy
  • starting to cruise
  • standing up on his own
  • playing with blocks- he likes to choose two that match
  • playing peek-a-boo
  • waving hello and goodbye (sometimes)
  • giving hi-5's
  • remembers where his toys and books are kept and can find them on his own
  • "reading" turning pages and looking at the pictures
  • follows commands for - sit, hands up, up, lie down (sometimes) 
  • responds to his name
  • responds to mama and dada- will look for us when asked
  • seems to be linking objects to tasks- knows the towel means bathtime, bib means foodtime


He LOVES

  • to eat.  he has eaten- rice, oatmeal, cheerios, bread, tortilla, tofu, beans, peas, corn, carrots, blueberries, strawberries, pears, apples, kiwi, yogurt, cheese, feta, mushrooms, pasta, lasagna, broccoli, lentils, asparagus and just about anything mommy has on her plate.
  • to play. peekaboo, blocks, books, airplane, anytime people will sit with him he will play and play.  he also likes to play alone and will spend quite a bit of time quietly taking all the toys out of the basket or all the books off the shelf.
  • to go places.  he loves to travel on the metro or by bus.  he enjoys the zoo, the park, target, the store, mommy's work, museums, restaurants, monuments, and just about anywhere.  He would rather be in the carrier or sling than in the stroller but the stroller is ok too.


He does NOT LOVE
bedtime, being woken up, having his nose cleaned, diaper changes, putting on clothes, being fed by anyone other than his parents, and being told no.


HAPPY TEN MONTHS!
