Brooklyn 10 Months

Brooklyn 10 Months- 8/26-9/26

Oops!! Miss Brooklyn is 11 months old and I am just now getting around to doing her 10 month post! So glad that I write everything down during the month, because there is no way I would be able to remember things from last month! I can't believe how fast my baby is growing! She is SO big!

10 Month (Unofficial) stats
Weight: 23 pounds
Height: 28 inches

Clothes
Pajama size: 9-12 months
Clothes size: 9-12 months, some 12-18 months
Diaper size: size 4


 So, what has Miss Brooklyn been up to this month:

  • She will NOT eat pureed baby food! She wants big girl food and wants to feed herself. She does like the baby food pouches.  I let her have pouches when we are out but never at home because they are so expensive!
  • She has mastered crawling! 
  • Her favorite foods are:
    • cheerios, blueberries, bananas, spaghetti, cheese, yogurt, ravioli and donuts!
she loves playing in her tunnel

  • She drinks 3 bottles a day-all 8 ounces each. 7:30am, 2pm, 7pm
  • She eats solid meals 3 times a day: 9am, 12pm, 5pm
  • Brooklyn celebrated her first Labor Day-we went to The Glynn's for a BBQ and Brooklyn played in the ball pit!

pretty girl!!
  •  Brooklyn is OBSESSED with the i-Pad.  She loves to look at pictures of herself and play games on the baby apps.  She knows how to slide her fingers/hand across the i-Pad to get to a new picture.  It is a bit ridiculous! Ha!
  •  Brooklyn has known how to do "So big" for awhile now, but daddy taught her something new.  When you say "Touchdown" she raises her hands up in the air! Too cute!
  •  Her favorite spot to play is the pantry! She can make quite a mess in there, but sometimes I don't care.  If I need to clean up the kitchen all I have to do is open the pantry door and she can entertain herself for a little bit!
  •  She loves to eat, as long as it is something she wants.  If she could live off of cheese, spaghetti, banana and yogurt I would let her, but she needs to try new things!
  •  She started out pulling up to a standing position in her crib, then she pulled up on the ottoman and her Jumperoo.  Then she started pulling up on people's legs and now she pulls up on EVERYTHING!
  •  She found the tupperware drawer!!
  •  Have I mentioned this girl loves spaghetti!! I let her feed herself spaghetti when I know we have time for a bath right after!
  •  We started baby story time at the library and she loves it!! We sing songs, play with bubbles, read a book, have parachute time and then play with toys!! It is so nice to be able to get out of the house and do something for FREE!!
  •  Brooklyn attended her first Liberty Fall Festival.  I grew up going to this festival! It was perfect weather and Brooklyn enjoyed her balloon! We didn't plan to stay for the parade but we found an open spot on the side of the parade route, so we decided to stop! Brooklyn loved it!! We will be going back every year!

  •  Brooklyn attended her first Goetze company/sales appreciation picnic!
Daddy and Brooklyn
  •  She has become very talkative and chatty! It is so fun to hear what new sounds she makes! 
  •  Brooklyn still loves Gymboree class.  Level 2 is from 6-10 months but I think I am going to wait a couple weeks to go to Level 3.  A lot of Level 3 kids are walking and Brooklyn is just starting to pull up and walk along things.  
  • Speaking of walking along things, Brooklyn walks all along the ottoman and couch, but the other day she transferred from the ottoman to the couch without sitting down! Yay! Big girl!
spaghetti again!! Yum Yum!
  • Brooklyn loves her stroller and going on walks.  She loves the swings at the park! I do not know what we are going to do when it is too cold to go outside! 
Brooklyn is such a big girl and makes Ben and me laugh every single day! It is so fun to just sit and watch her interact with her toys.  I wish I knew what went on in her little brain.  I love watching her grow and learn new things each day! I love teaching her new things every day! Some days are more challenging than others, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love spending every day with my baby girl and I love that I get to see her firsthand learn new things! I still can't believe she is going to be one so very soon!

 I love you Brooklyn!!

What Has Brooklyn Been Up To

Now that I have an iPhone it is much easier for me to upload pictures to blogger. I am sure I am like everyone else and take majority of my pictures on my phone. It is convenient and easy! So, each Friday I am going to create a collage in Instagram of what Brooklyn has been up to that week! Enjoy!!
