connor @ 10 months


weight:  20.5 lbs
height:  29 inches
clothes:  12-18 months
size 5 diapers

~~

you love:  real people dinners, hanging on your brother, walking everywhere, falling everywhere, climbing stairs and being an instigator.

you hate:  cantaloupe & getting new teeth.  (8 now!)


~~

Now that we're closer to your eleven-month update it's a little hard to remember what you were doing a couple weeks ago, but one thing's for sure then and now:  you are ornery.  In the best way possible, of course.  Your babysitter still wishes that every baby were as "cool" as you.  Easy going, independent, and just plain happy with the life you were given, you stand out like a shining star.

Despite the bickering, you're crazy about your brother.  He makes you so angry, but you tick him off too.  You two go back and forth like a couple of teenagers.  It's so annoying.   

You started walking this month, first taking a couple of steps and in just a couple of days you were cruising like it was your job.  You think you're pretty awesome, and we do too.

You came down with yet another ear infection, which led to a terrible diaper rash and of course a new tooth and on and on and on.  It's always something, isn't it?  Obviously sleep hasn't been your best friend - you've been waking up 2-3 times a night wanting to nurse.  Speaking of breastfeeding, since your two front teeth came in this month it's given your Mommy some excruciating pain.  It's like you're a newborn again!  As soon as the cracking starts to heal, they break open again.  Ouch!  fortunately you've gotten past the "no-bottle-from-Mommy" phase so I have been able to recover during the day by giving you formula.

Since going back to work, it's been hard on your Mommy.  I'm so glad you're able to let go and have a blast with the other kiddos.  Your brother, not so much.  I'm so grateful he has you.

Thanks for being you.

xoxo, Happy Ten Months.
