10 Months And Living The Good Life....

Oh my sweet baby boy...how I love you! You are such a precious part of our lives and your smile lights up a room. How blessed we are to be your parents.....you have already made us so proud! :)

Little B turned 10 months on Dec 14th....what a blast he is. :)

Here are the Brant happenings at 10 months:
1) He hit 20 lbs!! HOOORAY!! That is big time for a preemie.....especially for it to happen before a year old when he was only 2 lbs. Way to go baby! :)

2) He loves to throw EVERYTHING on the floor. :) Spoons, straws, toys, little bits of food that he picks up, etc. :) Oh the fun clean up at this age....it is all coming back to me!

3) Our little man has been grubbing up on his Stage 3 baby food and venturing into the world of table food. He is doing well starting to pick up small pieces of food-go pincer grasp! :)

4) He really wants to crawl... :) He can get up on all fours and rock, crawl backwards, and army crawl. This Bugbee boy has talent. :)

5) He has said "Dada", "Mama", and "Bubba". He is our sweet little talker. :)

6) Brant has decided that he does not want to really drink formula anymore. HA! Anyone who knows my personality knows that stresses me out...but what can I do? So we have cut back to about 12 oz a day and started getting him ready to transition off formula and onto whole milk. Oh and we throw some extra powdered formula in some of his food too....just to get a few more ounces in. :)

7) We are working with him on a sippy cup-how to hold it and lift it to drink, etc. He drinks water out of it but he is not a huge fan of the overall sippy cup concept just yet.

8) He is starting to cry when you take toys away..so we are in that fun stage. ;) You need to have a replacement to put in his hand when you take one away. :)

9) Separation anxiety is starting to kick in, and he is not as big of a fan of going to new people these days on a regular basis. He also does not like for Chris or I to be too too far away. :) It is reassuring to know that he likes us and misses us though-ha!

10) And once again, he is still the most smiley little man around. Such a precious personality, and we love him!! :)
