You can:
crawl
stand up on your own
stand for about 10-15 seconds at a time, but you won't take a step. You try to move your body forward but don't move your feet so you instantly just fall down.
Clap your hands
Say DOG ( you and Eli both said dog as your first word)
Walk with a walker
Wave bye bye
You HATE:
Your car seat
Changing your diaper
Cleaning your face
Mommy walking out of the room
Drinking from a bottle (whenever mommy works you won't drink milk from a bottle)
Getting dressed
Putting shoes on
Sleeping at night

You are a super easy going baby, not much seems to bother you. But you DONT SLEEP!!!!! You take on average about 1-2 naps, not consistent on times or duration which kills mommy. You usually go to bed about 8pm and sleep one stretch of about 4 hours and then wake about every 1.5 hours for comfort nursing. It's driving MOMMY CRAZY. I don't want to make you cry it out because it breaks my mommy heart and I know you're my last baby. So usually I just suck it up and lose sleep. But the mornings are so hard with your brother and sister waking up early. Mommy has the babysitter Sarah come in and help in the mornings so I can sleep a few hours. Coffee is a MUST for mommy now that she doesn't get much sleep. But you on the other hand, you would never know you don't sleep, you look so well rested!
We decided to have a 1st and 5th combo birthday party for you and Deborah. The theme will be rainbows and unicorns. Deborah is so excited. Can't wait to celebrate you!!! This year has gone by so fast, it's hard to believe you are already going to be a year old!!! Happy 10 months Iris alexander
