our littlest :: happy ten months!

i know each month i say the same thing.. but i really had fun with him this month! 
there is something but he is less of a baby and more of a little human being... which we really love!
we can now tell him things and he (seemingly) understands.


here are ten little snippets about this ten-month old munchkin...

one - he loves drinking water. and blowing bubbles into bottles. and pretending to drink from cups. obsessed would be an understatement! 

two - he got his first black eye. it got all black and blue and for that few days, we felt judged when we took him out! didn't help that he scratched himself up on the other eye too! *sigh*

three - this kid can scream. he is starting to explore his voice a bit more. which results in random yelps and screams. usually, its triggered off by the sight of food, a dog, a playground or a potential waterplay area.


four - physically, he seemed to have slowed down a little. he is not bursting out of his clothes and we're able to wear them more. which is such a relief. the cost per wear of his outfits was ridiculous when he was a wee baby!! 

five - he is a little daredevil. he has no qualms leaping for a moving bicycle, letting go of the wall to reach for something or commando crawling under the playgrounds to find that dusty abandoned toy some kid has forgotten.

six - still loving food. we are inching him slowly towards adult food. still loving mealtime and will make little humming sounds when he enjoys what he is eating! a trait he definitely inherited from his papa.


seven :: loves his books. his favorites are still "farm faces", "belly button book", "where is the green sheep" and "dear zoo". if you ask him where "xxx" book is.... he will rip through the bookshelf looking for them. (p.s. not a genius though. he reads them upside down! lol)

eight :: he flaps his hands in pure joy when he sees someone he loves. its the sweetest thing! 

nine :: everyday, i can see two conflicting but strong forces bubbling in that little head. on one hand, he wants to explore, climb everything and be out there in the world. he embraces adventure and new situations with such passion and energy. but ever so often, he'll bounce right back and want to be cuddled and held. its like a recharge button. he needs us to refuel him and off he goes again. i love that he still needs us.

ten :: still loves the water. joined swim squad :) 

love you booboo!

  1. I'm so jealous that Blake loves his food, my little one just doesn't seem to be interested. Unless it's watermelon, then he'll try to shove a whole one in his mouth! What do you normally feed him? Do you let him take charge and feed himself? Any pointers would be sooo greatly appreciated :)

    1. we started quite young when he was making nomming sounds when he saw food! we follow the wholesome homemade baby website charts and has given him most things on the list (except for wild game!??). annabel karmel also has fun receipes that you can try! so he eats almost anything we eat these days!

      we let him feed himself snack size food like fruit and bikkies. but everything else, we help him with it. if he's not feeling the food or not hungry, we let him skip a meal so there's no tears and forcing at the dinner table!

    3. hahhaha! :) we do! but that's just us! we don't really want him to have a negative association with food. plus, he's a greedy guts so what he misses out on, he catches up in his next meal/milk feed! :)

      hope that works for you!
