Body
The weight seems to be coming off now that I've stopped breastfeeding (crazy as I used to think breastfeeding would help me lose weight!). I'm down 0.8kgs (1.7lbs) since last month, so only 1kg (2.2lbs) to go until I'm back at my pre-pregnancy weight. Although I'm aiming to lose more like 6kgs (13.2lbs), hopefully it just keeps coming off slowly.
Height/Weight
My 10 month old baby boy is now 10.3kg (22.7lbs) and his height is 77cms.
Routine
We have finally dropped the dreamfeed (hallelujah!) and James is sleeping from 7am until 7pm. The next big challenge will be weaning him off the dummy! Apparently they start to depend on it more in the second year, so I really want it gone before he's one (which isn't far away! Eeep).

Sleeping
His night sleep has been great! although he wakes up a few times and yells out (almost like he's had a bad dream) but soon self-settles. He's also down to 2 naps a day instead of 3 (he self weaned off his afternoon nap). Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing!
Eating/Feeding
We found out the little man is allergic (or at least has a food intolerance) to tomatoes. He gets a bad rash around his mouth and behind his ears :( hopefully this is something he'll grow out of.
Sizes
No change here. He's still in size 1.
Milestones
He's started to crawl on all fours (yaaay!). I think he still prefers commando style though as he gets there a little faster. He is so good at standing now and vary rarely falls if he's holding onto something. He's started cruising too. He loves cruising along the couch and tries his hardest to climb up it! His new obsession is eyelashes.. he loves playing with mine, rob's and his own - he's fascinated by them. The mini-tantrums have started this month too, crying whenever he doesn't get his way (his fake cry) - I'm finding it hard not to give into him. His two top front teeth have popped through and the ones next to them are starting to show as well. I seriously can't believe he'll be one in less than 2 months! So crazy that he'll be a toddler soon!

PS. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been busy getting our house ready to sell! Hopefully I'll find some time to post about that soon :)
The cutest baby every with the most beautiful blue eyes. I thought breastfeed would help with weight loss too, at least that's what I heard. It's not easy to loose weight, I hope you find a healthy way that works for you and try to include daily exercise in your regimen. I glad James is getting more sleep now, so that will give you more time to work on yourself as well
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see another post from you! It must be hectic trying to sell a house and look after such an adorable (but wriggly and mobile!) little baby. Awesome news that you dropped the dream feed, what a good little sleeper you have to give you 12 hours too, woo-hoo! You are doing an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteMy little man is down to 2 naps a day too - although he's been cutting his morning one shorter and shorter and I don't think I'm ready for him to go just to one nap yet, eeek! Might just be as he's learning to settle into a new routine, and it will go back to normal soon. I hope!
