McCoy is 10 Months!

10 months old!

Today McCoy is 10 months old! We've hit the double digits! Things in the Miller household have changed drastically between his 9 and 10 month birthdays! Trying to get his picture in front of the frog was definitely not as easy as it has been in previous months!

Here's my list:

1. Two days ago he started crawling!! Yeah! McCoy has never been much of a mover and I'll admit, I was a little nervous about that. I don't know what I thought could be wrong but I'm a worrier so I worried! He didn't even start rolling from his stomach to his back until a few days before his 9 month birthday. However, a few days after that he was rolling all over the place! He'd get to the wood floor, roll to his back, and push backwards until he was across the room. So cute, but I still wasn't sure if he'd ever crawl. But two days ago he did it and slowly but surely he's starting to realize he has all this freedom! He's getting better everyday and he's getting a few more bumps on his head than he's used to, but I'm trying to just let it happen!

2. As for his eating schedule, he's now having three meals a day, one or two snacks, and two bottles (morning and night). He's also gotten to be a pro at his sippy cup and he LOVES water!! Now that he's only having two bottles a day I feel like he's such a big boy! I remember when I was nursing him every two hours!

3. Some other big news is that he's finally sleeping in his own bed! I know, we should've done that a long time ago but I just got so used to having him right by me. We had no problems switching him. He went right to sleep and slept all night!

4. He has only pulled up once but now that he's crawling he's trying to pull up on everything. He gets to his knees great just has a hard time figuring out where to go from there.

5. His favorite toy is his Noah's Ark that plays music and all the animals that go in it. He loves to chew on them!

6. When he eats, I'll think he's really hungry but then he'll open his mouth and he'll have food stuffed in his cheeks. It's so funny! I guess he's saving it for later or can't quite figure out what to do with it once it gets to the side of his mouth.

7. He still says da-da a lot. I also think he's saying Hi and Yes. The other day I kept telling him "No" and he would come back with "Yes". He probably didn't know what he was doing but it was still funny!

8. He still loves to scream! In the store, in restaurants, wherever!! Most of the time people thinks it's funny, but sometimes we get a few looks.

9. When you stand him up, either on your lap or holding onto a table, he bounces like he's dancing. Even if I try to hold his hands and get him to walk, he prefers to dance.

Kirk and I are having so much fun with him! He's such a happy boy and he laughs all the time, even when he's sick! This past week he had a runny nose and cough so I finally called the doctor on Thursday because he hadn't been sleeping well. Come to find out, his eardrum had ruptured!!! I felt absolutely awful that I hadn't done something about it sooner, but I had no idea. During the day, he was so happy! I just thought he wasn't sleeping because the drainage was bothering him! He's on antibiotics now and sleeping great!

Here's some video of when he was sick. He's definitely not acting like a sick baby!

I can't believe he will be 1 year old in 2 months!! This means I have to start working on his birthday party!!

Happy 10 months, Sweet Boy!!! We love you!
