TEN MONTHS OLD
Weight: 18 pounds
Eating:
Still nursing, although she's slowed down a lot this month. It's not really that she's eating very many more solids either, she's just always on the go and not as interested in stopping to nurse other than at nap time and bedtime.
Up until about halfway through her ninth month, we had been doing 100% baby lead weaning which meant that she just ate whatever we were eating in smaller portions. No spoon feeding and no purees. We've changed that this month and she's had a few purees. I suspect that a few of the things that Jon, Ari, Lucy, and I are able to eat with no problems as older people may have been a little bit too much for Ru's little tummy and she's had some digestive issues. We've slowed down a lot on table foods and tried to stick to nursing and plainer foods including a few purees. She seems to enjoy them and they don't upset her tummy as badly. She's had an apple/blueberry blend, plums and oatmeal, and peaches and oatmeal.
She also tried some yogurt!
Not sure how much yogurt was actually consumed in the feeding of this baby....
This is what it's like trying to eat in a restaurant with a 9 month old. She's all hands and she wants those chips!
Lucy loves to play mommy
Sleep:
She's down to about one nap a day and she's been having a really awful time sleeping at night unless everything is perfectly dark, quiet, still, and I'm right next to her. I really hope this passes because she used to be such a wonderful sleeper.
This is pretty much what we do from 8pm until at least 11pm each night unless she doesn't nap and is utterly exhausted.

Sleepy sleeping McSleepy tired girl!
Health:
Her top left lateral incisor has appeared! This was a rough one for her and it it seemed to take forever before it finally popped through her gums. We can now see the right one right underneath the surface and again, I suspect that this may be the cause of her poor sleeping habits. Hopefully once this one comes in, she'll get a short break because we haven't seen any sign of any others yet.
Always chewing on something
Milestones:
We had a big one this month.....
Ruby Star is walking! She still prefers crawling as her main mode of transportation because she can get from A to B faster, but she's been able to take over 10 consecutive steps so I think it's safe to say that she's officially walking. I think by next month, she'll be walking more than she's crawling. Daddy called this one last month. He said that he was sure she was going to be walking this month and he was right!
Look at that big girl!
Climbing- this little girl is such a climber! It will not be long before she's able to escape the Pack & Play
We're getting closer and closer to one year old! Next month will be a fun update as we get ready to celebrate Ruby's last first holiday- Halloween! Stay tuned for photos of Ru in her costume and Ru in a pumpkin just like we did with Lu two years ago.
