10 Months Old

Preston crawls everywhere, and when he is not crawling he is trying to step from toy to toy or coffee table to sofa. He loves to sit on this little chair and play. One problem though is he also like to stand on it, so we have to watch closely. Of course anything he finds goes straight into his mouth, so we have to watch that as well. He is a handful but a joy. Praise God he now sleeps through the night. I read a book (thank you Becca Ross) called 12 Hours of Sleep by 12 Weeks Old by Suzy Giordano. I applied her techniques, basically to get him to eat more during the day at strict 4 hour increments, and after 3 days it worked! It has been 3 weeks now. He also naps from 9-10am in the morning and from 12:00-1:30pm. He has his 8oz bottle four times a day and eats baby food three times. We have had to make a separate cash envelope from our grocery budget for formula and baby food because he is eating so much. Sometimes he will finish a jar and a half of food at one feeding - wow! I can't wait to see him and Hallister wrestle, to see who wins. Preston's hair has grown in pretty good, it is a reddish brown like mine. He has 6 teeth now, 4 on top. He has done the signs for "more", "all done", "milk", and "diaper change." He says dada and has said momma a few times.
