Our sweet Benton Boy is 10 months old. He is an absolute doll!!!! He is so calm and easy going, unless he is sleepy. He is getting more attached to mommy these days! He has the most adorable little laugh you have ever heard...melts my heart! Benton and Haisley are starting to play with each other even more than last month, one good thing about them being close in age!
Eating: This sweet baby has not eaten baby food in a while. He does an absolute EXCELLENT job of feeding himself, which really helps this momma out! He loves just about anything. Some of his favorites are blueberries and graham crackers, basically anything. He is down to nursing one time a day, and I will probably phase that out in the next week or so. He is still getting breastmilk in a sippy cup. I normally thaw about 20 oz a day. He doesn't always drink all of that, but it is a ball park! That sweet baby has only had about 2 bottles his whole life. I didn't want to start them this late, so we transitioned right to a cup!
Size: He is a chunk! I think he weighs about 21 pounds, he is in 12 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and is almost as tall as Haisley!
Tricks: Our sweet boy has started clapping! I think that he will take off walking anytime now! He loves crawling and is much more into everything than Haisley was. She was always right under me, whereas Benton is not afraid to escape somewhere by himself. He has found the toilets! I constantly find him in the bathroom trying to stick his hands in there...gross! He is cruising on furniture and even standing by himself for a few seconds at a time. Benton can even bounce a ball! So proud of that little boy!
Talking: Benton can say dada, mama, and baba (bye bye).
Sleeping: Sleeping is going monumentally better. We have been putting him in his crib awake, and he usually goes to sleep with minimal fussing. We normally try to hold off his bedtime until 7, but normally we don't make it that late. He still wakes up some at night, but we try not to get him, and definitely don't feed him back to sleep. He sometimes takes an early morning nap. On good days, I can get him and Haisley to nap in the afternoon at the same time.
Teeth: 6 total, 4 on top, 2 on bottom.
