Cohen Month 10 Update

Boy that month flew by. This past month was filled with lots of smiles and laughter but nothing really new when it comes to big milestones for Cohen. We do have a baby who sleeps through the night so for that we are grateful. However getting up once for 5 minutes wasn’t so bad either. Cohen was still sleeping from 7:00-5:00 then up for a bottle then back down till 6:30/7:00. He decided around the 9 1/2 month mark to sleep through the night for a babysitter we had. He happened to be nice and do it again for us the next night as well. So we knew it was time to quit the middle of the night bottle especially since he was having such a small one anyway. He woke up the next night at 1:00 and instead of a bottle I rocked with him a little and he went back to sleep. However he woke up again at 3:30. I tried the same thing and he would fall back asleep and wake up again 15 minutes later. “We” had fun with this routine until 5:00 when I said enough was enough. I just sat in the chair with him until 6:30. He slept great on me and I cherished the cuddle time but not much sleep was had by me. We weren’t exactly sure how the next night would go. To our surprise he slept through the night. Then again and again and again.  He’s been doing great ever since….except for this past week. He is officially getting some more teeth!! He has woken up a couple nights for a quick comfort and teething tablets but nothing hard to deal with. He’s a little more irritable which is odd for him but otherwise you can’t tell too much he is dealing with teething…well besides the drooling. He has the two middle bottom teeth and is now getting two on the top right side. We felt like they have been coming forever!

I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for him to crawl as well. But he’s still just making his moves around by rolling or going backwards. He’ll get up on all fours just doesn’t move his arms forward. Maybe he’ll just skip it, who knows because he absolutely loves standing now. You’ll often try to sit him down on the floor and he’ll want to stand instead.

We finally figured it was about time to switch him to the big boy car seat. We enjoyed using the infant seat when the weather wasn’t great since it was easier than getting a coat on him. But with the weather being nice and the fact that we never left him in the infant seat if we went anywhere, we figured it was time. He absolutely enjoys the new seat. He looked so big in the infant seat, it is strange to see him small again in the new seat.

Until next month, only 2 more until the big 1!! Wow!
