I’m 10 months old today! I’m getting really close to turning 1 year old. I feel like the last two milestones for me to reach before turning 1 year old are standing on my own and walking. I’ve already accomplished most of my other first year goals.
Obviously I’m doing really well eating solid foods. I enjoy eating and am a good healthy size for a 10 month old.
I sleep quite well at night. My sleep training paid off and I can be put down in my crib and I’ll fall asleep on my own without any crying or tears. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I usually put myself back to sleep if I’m not waking up for a bottle. Impressive, yeah?
I can pull myself up to standing with ease and I can even slowly lower myself back down with control. Before, when I wanted to get back down to the floor I would just plop down. Now I do a slow squat to the floor.
I’m climbing everything in sight with skill and speed. This has caused a lot of problems for Mommy and Daddy who always have to watch me to keep me safe. I have no fear and even made a game climbing onto the couch and then rolling off into Daddy’s arms. Luckily, I know to only do that when someone is there to catch me.
I’m not talking yet, but I make a lot of sounds and do it at the right moments to create a conversation. My tone is usually correct, so all I need to do is get some vocabulary.
My listening skills and understanding is quite good. I often respond or act appropriately to what Mommy and Daddy say. The thing I picked up quickly is when they ask me if I’m hungry or if they tell me it is time to eat. When I hear that it is meal time I make my way over to my chair ready to be fed.
So, I’m growing up at a nice pace and am getting ready to enter toddler-hood. I’m working on the standing on my own and walking, so stay tuned.
