Happy 10 months Rayna Elyse! I cannot believe you are officially in the double digits but man do I love this age. This past month was full of milestones (standing, waving, talking more, walking by using the push toy, and even trying to take a couple steps) and so much fun to watch! Time needs to slow down because my baby is getting way too big. We love you more than you will ever know!
(This was by far the hardest monthly pic to take! All she wanted to do was roll over and I barely caught her sitting still but man so I love this little wiggle worm and those rolls ;)
Measurements: You are still wearing size 3 diapers and 6-9 & 9 month clothes.
Sleeping: Still sleeping 11-12 hours at night and down to just one nap a day in the afternoon.
Eating: Still eating four 6 oz bottles (feeding herself two of them a day), oatmeal (twice a day), fruits (in the morning), and veggies (for dinner). New table foods: strawberries, cucumbers, apples, sweet potato fries, muffins, bread, pasta noodles, pancakes (all cut into small pieces).
