9 and 10 months.

 Layton is 10 months now. 

How did this happen I feel like I blink and he grows up. He had a huge grows spurt and leap in development. 

He is now crawling very fast, pulling up and walking round everything. He also standing up alone and standing more without holding on. He has taken multiple steps now so will not be long before he is fully walking around. Chasing his sister. 

Although he is a climber. He climbs the stairs, sofa and anything haha 😂. He will climb all around the park, up slides and go down them with minimal support too. He loves the freedom and hates when we help him. Very independent like Ariyah.  

Meanwhile is is also very cuddly. He loves kisses and cuddles and is so affectionate. He also loves babies at baby groups and will try kiss everyone. 

He has started talking now to and has a few regular words then a few we heard ones which we think he said like coping. 

Words he says. 

*Hi/Hiya/hello

*Bye bye

*Dad/dada

*No and Yes 

*Arie (ariyah)

*Rabbit

He also can make some animal noises, lion, elephant, dinosaur, monkey it is very cute. He roars alot at dinosaur toys. 

He now has 3 almost 4 teeth but they been bothering him alot this week. 

He is sleeping better as went though a week or so before his growth spurt and leap in speech where he was waking constantly, he was crawling and standing and banging against the cot all night. Waking himself and us. But luckly he gone back to settling well and only waking ones for milk it is getting later so hopefully give it longer he will be sleeping though the night. 

He is also a great eater and going longer between milks and eating more food now which is good. He gained weight now as for a while he wasn't gaining much as he dropped his milk and weren't eating a lot where he keep getting ill. He had colds and chest infection. But he back to eating, drink and his happy self.

Layton always been a good sleeper compared to Ariyah. We have the odd bad night but most of the time he has a bottle at 7pm and goes straight to sleep, then wakes for one bottle in the night before up at 5-6 sometimes even 8. We never had this as ariyah was and still is not a great sleeper. However Layton good sleeper and in routine of two naps a day. One only half an hour then a long one. He did go through rough week or so with constantly waking and standing up in the night. He was rolling onto his front but would bang against the side of the cot.

Still having tummy trouble and on movicol for 3+ months every day to help his pass his bowels. He hopefully soon they can see from bloods and stuff about what's  going on.

Overall he doing amazing is a happy baby and loves people other kids and attention. He seeks out lights and toys or objects that make noise or light up. He loves banging everything. He loves his sister ever tho she struggles with him touching her or shouting or even looking at her sometime but they have a very special bond and you can see the love between them in the special moments when she kiss or hug him or bring him something he wants or needs. 

He hit a huge milstones at 10 months so watch out for my next post.!
