10 Months Old

Nursing/Eating: We officially introduced solids! It took me a while to get on board with it but now I’m so happy about my choice. We decided we loved the Baby Led Weaning idea so we went straight to solids and skipped the whole spoon-fed baby food. Cash’s first food was avocado and he has since had steamed carrots and oddly enough, basil. He makes the funniest faces what he eats so mealtime is truly entertaining!

Cloth Diapering: Most of our small OBFs are pretty snug so we are officially just wearing mediums now! Cash’s poops are certainly thicker with the introduction of solids!

Sleep: I think I just need to accept the fact that I don’t have a child who is a great sleeper. Cash will still only nap on us or with me lying down in the bed with him. Nighttime isn’t much better. He still wakes up almost hourly to comfort nurse. It only takes a few second for him to fall back asleep but it’s enough to wake me up. I have tried to just snuggle or rub his back to help him fall back asleep but it doesn’t work. 

Likes/Dislikes: Cash loves his books! We read the same books over and over but he just loves them! He loves to turn each page and point to different things on the page. He also LOVES his Grimm’s toy car! (I LOVE Grimms Toys! They are rally nice quality and are NOT made in China!) He pushes it all around the house and makes the most adorable “brrrmmm brrrmmm” noises. His car keeps him entertained for 30 minutes plus! When something new catches his attention it also becomes a car. This includes shoes, my wallet, all his other toys and pretty much anything that fits in his little hand!

Cash does not like diaper changes and getting dressed or undressed. He also isn’t a big fan of his car seat still. I would say 75% of the time he is ok in his car seat and the other 25% of the time he is screaming! Not crying, not sobbing, SCREAMING! It’s truly awful to listen too and it breaks my heart, but there isn’t anything I can do about it.

Activities: We took Cash up to Greenbluff, with Nick’s parents, to pick pumpkins and he had a blast! He also loved the farm animals and the hay bails. I know this will be a yearly tradition for our little family.

Nick's sister also came to Spokane for a visit so Cash got to see his auntie Shanna!

Health: We are so blessed to have a happy healthy baby boy! Cash still only has 4 teeth, but the fifth tooth (top left i-tooth) is quickly making its trip down.

Best Moment: The best moment was most definitely giving Cash his first solid food! I just love how curious he is and his “bitter beer” face was truly priceless!
