10 Months Old

Remington turned 10 months old yesterday. He is such a happy and healthy baby. We are very blessed.

A typical weekday for him starts off with nursing. Then he'll munch on some Cheerios while big brother eats breakfast. He and Southern will play while Mommy washes dishes or clothes. Then it's lunchtime. He will eat Honey 7-Grain bread or crackers while Mommy eats lunch. Then I'll usually feed him a jar or two of baby food. Shortly after lunch, it's naptime and time for another nursing session. When he wakes up, the boys will play some more while Mommy gets supper ready. Daddy gets home! We eat together as a family. Remington can eat the same supper as us when I make fish, pasta, steamed veggies, etc. After supper and some clean-up, we go upstairs to watch a movie together. After the movie, Daddy bathes the boys while Mommy showers. I will then nurse Remington once more and put him to bed.

All this gets changed around on those days that we go to the library (at least once a week), run errands, visit Daddy at work, etc.

Remington usually just takes it all in stride and is happy where ever he is (as long as Mommy's close by). He has gotten less easy to put in his car seat though. At this age, he wants nothing to do with it at first. He cries and struggles while I buckle him but soon quiets down when he's fully strapped.

He is now a whiz at going up and down the stairs. We have to keep a gate on the bottom, or he will go the whole way up by himself! We let him go up and down on his own when we are there to follow him.

Along with his two bottom teeth, he has one coming in at the top. As a result of this, he's had some pretty rough nights these past two weeks.
