10 Months

Grant celebrated turning 10 months with the arrival of his Grammy and Grandaddy Tew from Clinton, NC. They have had quite the adventure swimming, playing in the fountain and exploring and Grant is so full of life, he loves every minute of the attention! Here are some of the accomplishments Grant has conquered at 10 months:

• Grant now claps! He claps when he is excited, when he's proud of himself, when he sees someone familiar and of course, we clap along with him!
• He's cruising meaning he can hold onto the coffee table, chairs, the edge of the bathtub and walk holding onto the side of each one.
• He has a healthy appetite but does not seem to gain weight very much like his Father. He is enjoying new foods. Steamed broccoli, waffles, pasta, I pretty much will offer him anything I'm eating in bite size pieces. He's also still getting four 8 ounce bottles of formula each day.
• He weighs in at 17 pounds, still in the 10th percentile for his weight. He is 29 inches long, in the 75th percentile for height.
• Grant sleeps through the night (praise the Lord!) from 7pm to 7am.
• He takes two naps each day. The first, 2 hours after he wakes and the second in the early afternoon. He naps for a total of 2-3 hours a day.
• Grant is very talkative. He babbles all day long and his favorites are Mama, Dada, byebye.
• He does not take a pacifier and has not since he was 6 months old. Sometimes I wish he would be he now views them as play toys.
• He loves to be around other kids and is very social. He outstretches his arms at strangers and is very friendly to everyone.
• He loves to be outdoors and June has proved to be an adventurous month full of new experiences with swimming and water play!
• Grant gives the best hugs and squeezes hard. It's the best feeling in the world. He loves his Momma and his Momma is completely smitten. :)
