10 months

Really!! I cant believe it has been 10 months already. Ava is at the cutest little stage right now. She is so active & keeps a smile on our face.

Clothes size: 12-18 months
Shoe size: 3
Diaper size: 3-4
Bottles per day: 4 - 6oz bottles throughout the day. I have noticed she wants less. We have started to put water & juice in her sippy cup for dinner. She has the hang of it, just needs help sometimes lifting it up once at her mouth.
Solids per day: great little eater. Still eating little Gerber Toddler foods, but very interested in what we are eating. If our dinner is simple I will give her some. Ex: cut up grilled chicken breast, green bean, etc. She loves table food. I gave her daycare the ok to give her some of their lunch items
Health: She had a runny nose right before we left for Jamaica. Doc said just a virus that will pass. Still only has 2 bottom front teeth.
Routine: same as usual. Is starting to take only 1 long nap from about 11-1ish
Sleep: The CIO method is still going strong. We do the usual night time routine…then 8pm bottle & put her in her crib sleepy. After a couple minutes of crying she finds her pacy & goes to sleep. Lately she has been waking up in the middle of the night. We let her cry for a little, but if it persist I put her in our bed.
Milestones: pulling up on everything & trying to walk along them

@ Ava:
Super fast crawler
Getting brave about pulling up on everything
Waves bye-bye
Claps her hands at everything she does
Bounces up & down (dances) when her toys make music
Will hold her play phone up to her ear when we tell her to call Mimi
Loves to ride on her pink pony
Chases (crawls fast) after the dogs
Finally goes forward in her walker.
Enjoyes shopping & sitting in the grocery cart
Starts to act silly when she seeing other kids
Is shy when strangers try to talk to her
Saya da-da all the time. "Still" waiting for her to say ma-ma, mommy, mom...anything
Her daycare said she is "The Boss" of the class room. Not sure if I should be happy about this or not.

We started changing her on the floor on her room. She was getting to long for the changing table & moving too much.
