I can't believe Finn is already ten months old. Time has really flown. This is what he has been up to lately: He pulls himself up to a standing position all the time. He just learned how to get down from that position. He used to just cry when he was ready to sit down. He was too afraid to fall. He has just started walking along things; like the couch. He speed crawls everywhere! He slaps his hands really hard onto the ground when he crawls. It is loud on our hardwood floors. He definitely won't be sneaking up on anyone anytime soon. He has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on the botom). He is about to cut another tooth on the bottom. He says a couple words regularly: "Uh-Oh" and "Jay Jay". He has said a few other words a few times, but is still learning them - "Yay", "Daddy" and "Ma Ma".
He follows me around all the time and constantly pulls himself up against my legs. He wants me to hold him more often than usual lately. He also wants to be in the same room as us. He used to be content playing in the other room while we make dinner, for instance. But not now. So I keep a little box of toys in the kitchen and he comes in there and plays with those while we are in there. He is still a good napper. He takes 3 naps a day; one in the morning around ten, an afternoon nap around noon, and an evening nap around four. He usually goes to bed for the night around 8:30pm and wakes up consistently at 7am.
As far as weight and height go, I am not really sure. At his 9 month check up, he was 20.8lbs (51st percentile) and 30 inches (95th percentile). He probably hasn't gained any weight. He seems to be thinning out; and just getting taller. He has been a little picky with food lately, and hasn't been eating that much. Hopefully this is just a phase. As far as his doctor is concerned, Finn is right on track with his vocabulary and motor skills.
His personality is still super sweet. He is so fun right now! I cherish every day with him.
