Ten Months

Dear Conor,

Somehow along the way I forgot to post about you being 10 months!!!  You turned 10 months on October 14th and looking back you have changed SO much since you turned 9 months.


Just before turning 10 months you had your 9 months check-up on October 11, 2012.  When you were weighed you tipped the scale at 20.11 lbs (40%); you were 27.5 inches tall (17%) and your head was 47 cm (83%).  The percentages are quite deceiving because everyone you meet comments on what a big boy you are - I think they must be looking at your cute round head because you are a short and rather lean little thing from the neck down (though you do have broad shoulders which I believe runs in both families).


In the last 30-31 days you have gotten teeth (two beautiful bottom teeth that pushed through on 9/20/12), you have begun music classes (which you love) and we are once again participating in swimming lessons.  You had started walking a lot more (while pushing an item) and you are speaking!  You have a few words that you say often: Hunter, Quack, Duck, Hi, Mom, Dad, Yes.  You like to do pretend sneezes and coughs and you have started to understand and follow direction (for example when we ask you to stop doing something you do).  You are wearing a mix of 9 month and 12 months clothes depending on the brand and what article of clothes it is.  You have beautiful gray eyes and your hair is brown but has strong red undertones to it - so much that many people comment on your 'auburn' hair.


Photographing you for your monthly pictures continues to be a struggle as you do not like to sit still very long and you always want to reach for the sticker!  Because I want this blog to be a true reflection of what life is like - here are some outtakes from your photo session!
Stop - no more!

nope - the distraction didn't work - you still went after the sticker

Daddy trying to keep your attention from the sticker while he placed it

you got it - and then rolled off the pillow (Daddy was right there - I cropped him from the frame)

I don't even know what to say about this one C-man!

You certainly changed quite a bit between these two months and I can't wait to see the changes that happen in the next 30 days.....its been an amazing 10 months little man!

xoxo
Mommy

PS.  Look how much you've grown!
