our baby(can I still say that) boy is 10 months old! double digits!! WHAT?? Oh, that's just so hard to say. its bittersweet watching him grow, change, and develop. every stage is the new favorite, and Titus at 10 months old has been a blast with a capital B.
happy double digits my little one.
whats new?
- the greatest sass pants of them ALL. he's figuring out how to interpret the word NO, and when I or his daddy take something away from him the squeals in protest make it crystal clear that he did not like what just happened.
- he consistently cruising around EVERYTHING and into EVERYTHING.
- he gives the best sugars, and on command. He loves to kiss himself in the mirror.
- he has taken to a pacifier more over the past month or more.
- he's a pretty great sleeper at night.
- wears 6-12 months clothes and size 3 diapers.
- laughs and smiles at everything! Truly the most content child!
- his smile is just about the best smile ever.
- his favorite toy is definitely his balls and blocks.
- we play hide and seek. he will chase big brother around the island of the kitchen and loose his mind with giggles when he comes into eye's sight. it is the funniest thing!
- he HATES getting his diaper or clothes changed. it is HARD to keep him still for what should take just 2 minutes but ends up taking about 5 or more.
- LOVES the bath and I mean LOVES. I usually need a change of clothes after. he will play for hours if we let him.

this boy. such an eater. he's not picky about what I offer him, I have yet to find something he didn't like. not much even gets on the floor these days, it all finds its way to his mouth.
she's eating about 3 meals/day which he has sort of transitioned into on her own. breakfast is usually eggs and we are starting oatmeal in the mornings to practice out bowl and spoon skills. he likes fruit but prefers the veggies and protein is really his favorite, I think. his largest meal of the day is dinner.
favorites- rice, waffles + peanut butter, banana, squash + sweet potatoes chicken
daily feeding/solids schedule:
6-7am: bottle
9am-9:30am: breakfast(eggs/oatmeal/fruit)
10am: yogurt + fruit + puffs + applesauce(not all together)
12 pm: 6-7 ounce bottle
4-4:30pm: 6-7 ounce bottle
5pm: snack (puffs + fruit)
6pm: dinner (protein + starch + vegetable + yogurt)
7:30pm: bath
8pm: bottle/bed

oh this boy. such a busy body. turning into this independent little person that makes his way around as he pleases. his little personality is in full throttle! but hardly a surprise because he is definitely on a mission to keep up with everyone around him. he loves to play.. and will contently play solo for long periods of time.
she loves rolling his balls and chasing after them, 'reading' books, blocks.
sitting to standing, crawling and cruising. he's definitely exploring and observing his surroundings- taking it all in like a little sponge.
separation anxiety is real, he is a MAMAS BOY, the purest definition. he could care less about anyone else in the world. Mama's his girl!
to my sweet boy. I never thought my heart could swell so much. it blows my mind that you are in the double digits of babyhood! I make it a point in my every day to try not to take for granted your resilience, cheer, sparkle, and absolute beauty. I am floored and completely fascinated by your ability to see nearly everything as wonderful and humorous and we all wish life would be. your smile lights up our every moment, and your laugh- OH I LOVE YOUR LAUGH. your desire and drive to seek out everything around you is impressive and you are a tiny tornado through the entire house- it wont be long before you are up and running all over the place.
thank you for filling our days with laughter and joy and your sweet little face. you are going to be a whole year old before we know it and I am soaking in these last months of babyhood with you in this season. I cannot believe how richly you have blessed us.
our tiny miracle.
our Titus Crete.
I love you so.
