10 Month Update (late)

oh Boy! We have a climber. Nate can climb stairs and onto (low) chairs. He can also get to tiptoe when his hands are supported by something (leaning on a couch, for example).

* Nate crawls super fast, cruises fast and pulls to standing and sits with ease. On grass he can stand for a few seconds, but he isn't so good on regular floors.Strangely, he doesn't really walk when you hold his fingers like many kids.

* Still babbling quite a bit, and still loves his pacifier.

* Nate definitely is reacting to milk products. He has had a number of reactions so he won't be getting any dairy products for a few more months. None of the reactions have been severe- a dose of benadryl completely stops it. It is scary and certainly a nuisance. We obviously hope this is his only allergy (sometimes kids have many) and he outgrows in quickly.

* He eats solids at all 3 meals - approximately 2 jars of baby food at lunch/dinner and 1 at breakfast plus a lot of puffs. We also give some finger foods - he really likes avocado.

* Diaper changes are nearly impossible. He is So squirmy it is unbelievable.

*Still no teeth...

* He is napping 2x a day, for about 60-90 minutes or so. He goes done reasonably well, but not without some fuss.

* He night sleeping isn't good. He goes down very easily, but wakes a lot.

* Nate waves good-bye and sometimes hello. He also waves when he hears the word good-bye. He puts up his hand for "high-five."

* Nate likes peek-a-boo and to be tickled.
