Tahnee: 10 months

"What?!? Already?!?"

Yep, our baby girl really isn't so baby-ish anymore! I cant say she isn't little, cos really, she is! It feels like just yesterday that I typed up her 9 month post! And here we are, 4 weeks later, and only 2 months away from her first birthday!

At 10 months Tahnee:
* weighs just 7.7kg ~ she has plateaued out with her weight and is now on the 10th percentile, which is quite small, however if you saw what she does and what she eats over 24 hours, you would understand her size!! She is constantly moving and the only time she is still is when she sleeps. She eats 2 weetbix for breakfast, 2 jars of baby food for lunch, a yoghurt mid afternoon and 1 full ikea bowl of meat and veg at dinner, and sometimes she wants more! Plus she has 3 feeds a day. She eats more than Lucas did at this age. So we think her size is mainly due to genetics and not her CDH.
* she fits 00 and 0 tops and 00 and 000 bottoms (000is a tad short)
* she can clap her hands
* she can do a high five
* she can wave bye bye
* she still army crawls
* she stills pulls herself up to stand
* she was weaned from 4 to 3 breastfeeds a day
* her favourite toy is Mum, and if she spots Mum she makes a beeline for her! Its cute, but annoying at times, like when I need to make dinner and it involves lots of moving between the stove, oven, bench, pantry etc.
* and she loves to give wide, open mouth slobbery kisses - she will even pull your head towards her :)

And the most exciting development - today was her first day of having BREAD for lunch! Why is that so exciting you ask?? Well, in the past when she ate bread she would vomit, choke, gag etc. But during the week we tried again and she was happy to munch on a piece after her dinner. So I decided to try her with it for lunch today and I'm happy to say she ate 1.5 slices, crusts and all, and only choked right at the end!! For a child who doesnt eat much that isn't smooth and pureed, its a great accomplishment :)
