Piper – 10 months

October 7, 2014/Piper

I can’t believe it’s been another month. We’ve been on the go this month and as the fourth child, Piper is dragged to all sorts of things (as are all the others!).  Here she is playing with Natalie while we wait to be called back for an x-ray on Natalie’s ankle.

She’s still pulling up and cruising – getting into things and making more messes. She especially loves her bath toys.

She’s a total wiggle-worm… and can hardly sit still for a minute. She’s constantly turning in her seat, either to get a better view or to gnaw on the seat back. Teething much?

While she still won’t take a bottle, it’s getting harder to nurse her as she’s easily distracted. I’m looking forward to the 12-month mark when we can start to try things other than formula. I have a feeling this isn’t going to be an easy process though.

I’ve been starting her drinking from a shot glass. We start ’em young in this house. Kidding, of course. The truth is I read somewhere shot glasses are a perfect transition for a baby to a real cup as they are small (less spillage, easy to hold) and are hard to break. Piper LOVES drinking water from “her” cup. Granted, she gets water all over her front, but hey, all in good time, right?

She’s just plain cute. What can I say?

Stats – 17 lbs., still waking up 2-3 times per night, eating lots of table food, Loves Cheerios and spaghetti, obsessed with Taurus the cat. Has a signing vocabulary of one – her own modified sign for “more” which looks more like the sign for milk, but I’ll take it for now.
