10 Months!



Feeding
We have moved completely to table foods. Finn eats what we eat. And wow, this is so much easier! We went to Savannah for vacation and he ate his first kid meal- grilled cheese and fries. He also tried chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and coconut gelato. Of course he loved everything.

Weight
I'm thinking he's still around 21-22 pounds. Seems like his weight is staying the same these days.

Sleep
Sleep is still going good. He naps twice a day-10:00 and 2:00.  And goes to bed around 7:30. On the weekends, Finn only takes 1 nap so he can spend more time with us. :)

Wake Time
Finn is such a bruiser. He cruises all over the place barely holding on to the furniture. He has started standing up and squatting down to pick up toys and then standing back up. Its so fun watching him. I love seeing him learn!

Clothes
Finn is still wearing 9-12 month clothes. The outfit Finn is in is very special. I was out shopping a few weeks after Gregory and I got married and saw this cute Jordan outfit on clearance. So I bought it not knowing when we would have a child. Here it is 4 years later fitting our first son. So special!!

Fun fact
We took our first real vacation as a family of 3. We went to Savannah for a week and it was so much fun. We decided that is going to be our Walkup family vacation every year. It will be fun to see each year how much Finn has changed. Below are a few pictures from our trip.

Mommy and son time!

Daddy is so silly-he rolled you up in Mommy's pillow like a burrito!


While walking around in the historic part of Savannah, Finn feel deep asleep.

9 Months!!



Feeding
This month opened up a WHOLE new world. Finn has moved to eating all table food. He has had lots of spanish food. So far he has loved rice and beans the most. He's also had veggie pizza, meatballs, quesadillas, and chicken poppy seed. There hasn't been anything he didn't like. I love that we have such a good eater. Hope he stays this way!

Weight
At his 9 month check up he was 21 lbs and 7 oz. Love my big boy. Seems like his weight gain is slowing down.

Sleep
Finn is still a great sleeper. Taking two naps (10 and 2) and going to bed at 7:30. This month while we were out of town we only let him nap once during the day and he did great!

Wake Time
As I say almost every month, this month has been the most fun! He is crawling all over the place. And he just loves exploring our house. We have really child proofed downstairs so he can roam free. He has been cruising along the couches and even taken a few steps here and there. So I'm sure he will be walking soon!

Clothes
Finn can pretty much fit in anything between 9-12 months now. He looks adorable in his little shorts and t-shirts. Really looking like a lil' boy these days.

Fun fact
I'm not sure if fun fact is the right title for this. Finn has had quite the month when it comes to growing.  He had 8 teeth pop through. Yes that's right, I said 8! So he now has a total of 10 teeth-that's 4 on the bottom and 6 on the top. I can hardly believe that the sweet gummy smile is going away.
