ten months

We are in the double digits!  Quinn turned 10 months old this week!

 

 

  

Quinn has changed so much in the past month.  This is what she has been up to...

Pulling herself up from sitting to standing.  It was quite a surprise to look in the monitor one day to see her standing up, while banging her hand on the side of the crib and squealing.  Recently, she found the monitor and pulled it off the side of the crib.  It was pretty funny to watch her staring into it.

Eating three meals a day.  One day, Quinn seemed very interested in finger foods.  So, I gave her more of a variety, and ever since she has been eating primarily whatever we eat--just cut up into smaller pieces.  She also transitioned to three 8 oz. bottles at each meal time, with snacks and water in between. 

She still only has her bottom two teeth, but we can see the top two are coming in!

Speaking of water, Quinn also learned how to drink from a sippy cup.  She used to just naw on it.  One day I drank from the sippy cup to show her how to use it--not really expecting her to understand--then she took it from me and started to drink from it on her own!

Quinn continues to sleep through the night.  The time change this month didn't throw us off too bad.  We tried to prep her a week before by holding her evening bottle off a little later each night.  After about a week, she started to sleep a little later.  But, it has still taken some time to get her totally adjusted to the time change. 

Quinn takes two naps a day.  She consistently takes a nap at 9am.  Although, the length of her morning nap seems to be getting shorter.  Then she takes another nap around 1 pm.  This nap has been all over the place lately.  Sometimes she plays in her crib for 30 minutes before going to sleep, and other times she goes right down. 

We had fun dressing Q up as a little indian princess for Halloween.  We trick or treated for about 15 minutes just for the sake of it.  She totally rocked her costume! :)

Quinn continues to come alive around other kids.  Every time she sees another kid at the store or when we are with friends, she starts squealing and smiling like crazy!  You can't really see her bubbliness from these pictures, but it definitely comes out in person. 

Now that Quinn is on the move (and also aware of the stairs...), we try to get out a lot more during the day to keep her entertained.  We are always looking for little things to do between and after naps.     It's been a lot of fun!  Quinn brings so much JOY to our lives!
