- Bryson is 10 1/2 months. On our home scale, he is17 lbs. 4 oz.
- He's waving! And it is so cute! He'll stretch out this little arm and open and close his figures. CUTE!
- I think he'll pick up the word "Hi" pretty soon. It sounds like he tries to say the "h" sounds as he waves. He is starting to imitate sounds, babble, and noises. When I do make sounds with my lips (the raspberry?) he'll make the sound by spitting.
- He loves to put his hand to his mouth while saying ah, ah, ah. (Sorry, I don't know how to describe some simple things :)
- Teeth: He's got his two bottom, two top and is working on two more on the top.
- Occasionally he'll do this goofy grin, where he closes his eyes. What can I say... Cute!
- He's a headbobber. Just to be silly he'll move his head back and forth, back and forth.
- Mama's boy. He's pretty happy and content, until he sees me. Then he whines until he can get me.
- This boy LOVES the bath! He would play in there forever if I would let him.
- He's eating quite a bit. I love that I can stick him in his highchair with some graham crackers or zwieback toast and he'll be content while I make dinner. I've introduced some dairy: yogurt and cheese. He likes most foods and eats well. Now if I could just get him to drink! Still not much success with a sippy cup or a straw. (Any tips?!)
- He's started pulling himself into a standing position while holding onto things.
- He sure gets around! He's not up on his arms and knees, but he's got the army crawl down! He mostly uses his right arm and his left leg. Boy do they get red and rough. I've started keeping him mostly in long pants and long sleeve shirts to help protect his poor skin. He's sure fast!
- Peek-a-boo! He loves to play it and will occasionally illicit play by putting one hand over an eye.
- Sleep: I keep thinking we are finally there... and then he'll cry again through the night. We went 2 weeks of having him scream when he woke up. I didn't feed him. He would scream, yes, SCREAM for an hour to 2 hours! For the most part though, he is finally sleeping through the night. I will feed him when he wakes up at 5 or 6, but then he'll go back down.
- He is usually such a happy, content little guy. But when he gets mad, he's really mad (as you can see at night).
(You might get a little dizzy watching the video, sorry.)

He is darling! I wouldn't worry about the straw or sippy cup. But then there is my kid that wont drink her milk unless it's perfect temperature in a specific bottle... and she can drink out of a sippy and a straw. Go figure! He is so cute.
So cute!!! I can't believe how fast they grow. I love the little army crawl!!!
A tip for the straw...pull it out, and give him some from the bottom (plug the top with your finger.) He realizes what comes out and will learn to suck to get more. As he closes his mouth for more, you release the milk with your finger....make sense? I don't know how to explain better.
Chad and I think Bryson is such an adorable boy! We love him! He is doing great! I love his "talking."
Maybe you have already tried this, but I would try sippy cups with a variety of mouthpieces: soft, hard, faster and slower flow. Maybe you could even give him something a bit sweeter like apple juice to really get him interested, I guess that could backfire though. Good luck!
