The Anthonys: 10 months old!

Are you kidding me?!? 10 months?!? I cannot believe Colby has been in our lives for almost an entire year. WOW! God is good...and we are so thankful every day for the joy that Colby has brought us. Here's what we've been up to lately....

FOOD- Colby is still eating everything in sight. We're feeding him more and more finger foods and he's doing great feeding himself. Some of his favorites are ravioli, rolls, cheese, chicken, tortillas, potatoes, crackers, beans, peas, pasta, etc...pretty much anything that we can tear into smaller pieces!! He eats a "meal" 3-4 times a day. I would have thought he'd weigh 100 pounds by now, but I guess he's burning more and more energy, so he needs more calories.

DRINK- he's still drinking a full 6-8oz bottle in the morning and a 4oz bottle at night. During the day he may drink an extra 4-8oz, but now that he's eating so much real food, he's not getting as much formula. He's been drinking water from a sippy cup for awhile now, but just this past weekend, he learned to suck through a straw, so I'll be on a mission tomorrow for straw sippy cups! :)

WEIGHT- the last time we went for an appt, Dr. Kastner told us that since Colby was healthy, we should skip his 9 month appointment and just bring him in when he's 12 months. You know this drives me crazy because I like to see percentiles!! haha...but at the same time, I love to save a $25 copay and I know it's a good thing to keep Colby away from those hospital germs. SO....yesterday I jumped on the scale with Colby, so his unofficial 10 month weight is 21 pounds! Go Colby, Go!

FUN STUFF- Colby is not crawling "traditionally", but he is army crawling all over the place! He'll follow us all over the house, and he's getting pretty quick. He is also pulling himself up to a standing position while he's holding onto the couch or chair or toys. It's so cute! He looks over at us and shows us how proud his is of himself. :) He also loves for us to hold onto him while he walks behind and pushes his new walker toy. He could do that for hours! (I've seen a few mini temper tantrums when we stop)

TALKING- Colby says "mama" and "dada", and I think he knows what it means, but he also just says both as he's babbling to himself. When we lay him down for a nap, he will babble and sing to himself for about 45 minutes before he falls asleep! It's so cute though. He also has a happy scream that he lets out often. Travis is a little concerned with the high pitch, but I'm sure he'll sound more manly eventually. :)

He also knows how to wave bye-bye and shake his head "no", but he will not do either one on demand, and I don't think he really knows what either one means! haha

SLEEP- he's still a pretty good sleeper. He usually gets 2-3 naps each day...about 1 and 1/2 hours each. He goes to bed at night somewhere around 6:30-7:30 and he sleeps for about 12 hours.

HAIR- he has tons! Trav gave me the go-ahead to cut it again because it was getting out of control, but after one bad snip, I think he will let me start taking him to a professional....luckily I sort of evened it out, so it's not bad, but I am NOT a barber...sorry!!

I have been a terrible photographer lately! I think it's because we have been so busy, but we're having a blast! We've spent lots of time with good friends this month, and we love every second of our time with all of them!!

We hung out at Kayla and Levi's house for the National Championship game with our bible study group, and had a blast!! It was a sad loss for UT, but I think they played pretty well considering the circumstances.

Colby got to play with lots of friends! Here he is playing with Brooks Johnson

and here Colby and I are reading with Miss Harper

I think he's sad for Colt McCoy :(

playing with daddy's fuzzy hair!

Travis' grandparents from Oklahoma came in town for a few days, so Colby got to spend lots of time with them. He loves for his great-grandma Gram to sing to him. :)
