JEB: 10 Months Old!

Holy cow, June has reached double digits in the month department! I cannot believe that she will be a full year old in just two months! Our little redhead is doing swell ... This past month she has been busy with the following:

  • Pulling herself up on everything (furniture, activity table, toy baskets, Mom & Dad, etc.)
  • Bending down from standing position to pick things up off the ground (she's very talented ... and flexible!)
  • Waving on command (as well as whenever she's in a waving kinda mood)
  • Clapping two objects together while holding one in each had (we're still working on plain old clapping of the hands)
  • Raising her arms to symbolize "SO big" (see below for Junes's interpretation of this pose)
  • Jabbering lots of mamamama and dadaddada sounds
  • Still eating like a champ (new additions include spaghetti and other pastas with red sauce, and blueberries). We know when June really enjoys a food because she'll grunt the entire time she's inhaling eating it.
  • Refusing to drink milk unless it comes directly from mom. June rejects any bottle, sippy cup, cup, straw, hose, bucket, trough ... I love breastfeeding, but I hope June realizes that we cannot carry on like this forever. (And, it would be nice if she could let Mom have an extended day/evening away every once in awhile.)
  • Not sleeping through the night. Ugh. While we know June is capable of sleeping 12-ish hours straight (she's done so on a number of occasions), she is still getting up frequently during the night (like three to four times). We'll make do while we continue to share paper-thin walls with strangers for the next few weeks; however, we're going to get tough once we have the luxury of our own walls in our free-standing new house. :)
  • Continuing to take two naps a day
  • Still sportin' size 3 diapers and size 6-12 months clothes, but June recently graduated to size 3 shoes
  • STILL working on those first teeth. I'm thinking one of these days she's going to wake up with an entire mouthful of chompers, including molars.

"SO big!"

Squirmy wormy wouldn't let Mom get a picture to show her length, but at least I got a nice shot of her pretty red hair. :)
