The Cooper Family: 10 Months

With every month that passes, I still can't grasp how quickly my "little baby" is growing and learning! Brayden is now into EVERYTHING and is always keeping us on our toes. You look away for one second, and our little man can stir up a lot of trouble! ;)

Clothing Size: 18 months, although some 12 month still works too

Diapers: Size 4 (daytime) and Size 5 Overnights

Doctor Stats:

We don't go back to the doctor until 12 months! I can't believe that Brayden is only two short months away from being one year old!

Updates from the past month:

- Brayden loves to play, although his toys seem to be a thing of the past right now....he is into EVERYTHING!

-Brayden is constantly on the move (unless he is sleeping or eating), which makes diaper changes and getting dressed very interesting, haha! He loves to pull himself up on anything and everything, and crawl all over the place...especially when chasing after Bailey! Poor dog! J/k I know that Bailey secretly loves Brayden, because he wags his tail when Brayden crawls over to him.

-Brayden also learned to climb up the stairs this past month. So we now have gates at the top and bottom of the stairs.

-Brayden continues to smile and talk all the time! He most recent sound is the rolling of his tongue. He has been doing it all the time lately and just smiles away like he is so proud of himself..I love it!

-Brayden has started to take a few steps when holding onto just one of our hands and when holding onto the back of his push toy...but that's about it for progress on the walking. He can stand for a few seconds on his own too. I must admit that we have not been encouraging him to walk any sooner than necessary. I can only imagine what he will get into then!

-Brayden is laughing a lot more now, especially when we pretend to tickle him. His laughs are just heartwarming!

-Brayden still continues to be a great eater. We have started introducing more and more solid foods recently, although he still loves his puffs the best. But we have also tried pieces of peaches and pears...which didn't go over too well. I think that they were a little tough for him to pick up. Bananas, peas, cheese, and of course bread are a huge hit. He also liked waffles as well.

Sleep habits (for now....):

-Wake time is around 6:30

-Brayden takes two naps a day (9:30 and 3pm). Morning nap is typically 2 hours and afternoon nap is a little over an hour

-Bedtime is 7:30pm

-Brayden still sleeps on his side or tummy 99.9 percent of the time.

What is next:

-More laughing...we are still waiting for the out of nowhere random laugh. Can't get enough of those belly laughs!

-More "talking". Maybe "mama" soon...PLEASE! I mean, I am with him everyday, haha.

Here are some pictures from today. Of course I insisted on taking Brayden's 10 month pictures on his actually 10 month birthday, which was not the best idea because we had to wake him up from his afternoon nap and he was not in the happiest of modes. But considering the circumstances, I think we still got some okay pictures...
