ten months old...

jaelyn is a over ten months old probably close to eleven months {sigh}...but here is an update anyway...

jaelyn continues to be an amazingly sweet and easy baby. she is such a mommy's girl. she loves to be held and snuggled. she is such a blessing. she is growing and changing each day. her hair is getting longer and sometimes has a little curl to it. she has started to find her bows and pull them out. i still can't believe she is ten months old.




eating: jaelyn has started eating table food over the last month. she can be a little bit picky over what she eats. overall she is a pretty good eater. she definitely is like her mommy, she loves fruits, she will eat any kind of fruit i put in front of her and she loves carbs (bread, pasta, etc) she still likes to eat babyfood and baby oatmeal. she is nursing three to four times a day. and usually has one bottle a day.


sleeping: jaelyn takes two naps a day (morning & afternoon) and sleeps about two hours at each nap. she goes to bed around 7:30 and wakes up around 7:30 - if she sleeps all night. some nights she does and sometimes she doesn't. on the nights she doesn't, she will usually wake up around 4:00, nurse and go back to sleep. there has been a few nights that she wakes up way too early and wants to play.






saying: jaelyn is becoming a little chatter box. she can say "more" and do the sign to go with it. she can also sign "all done". she says "mama" and "dada". she mimics sounds and words. she squeals when she is happy! and still doesn't cry very much!


doing: jaelyn is everywhere. she is doing an army crawl all over the house! having her this mobile is definitely changing the dynamics around here. and this is just the beginning. jaelyn gets on her knees to rock, but doesn't quite crawl the "normal" way. jaelyn is picking up on sign language easily. she can clap and wave. jaelyn loves to give kisses too!




playing: jaelyn is so playful. she loves to play with toys and books. she loves to play peek a boo and be tickled. she is so happy and so full of joy. she loves to watch her brothers and sister. and loves to have them play with her.
