10 Months

Weight:23 lbs*
Height:
*Brooke was weighed after breakfast, wearing a onesie and diaper. I generally try to weigh her before she eats...and in her birthday suit :) In addition, she has been a bit under the weather lately and not eating well. Her weight could be impacted by that.

According to What to Expect the First Year, at 10 months Brooke...

should be able to
  • stand holding on to someone or something X
  • pull up to a standing position from sitting X
  • object if you try to take a toy away X
  • say "mama" or "dada", indiscriminanately X
  • play peekaboo X
  • exchange back-and-forth gestures with you sometimes
will probably be able to
  • get into a sitting position from stomach X
  • play patty-cake (clap hands) or wave bye-bye CLAP & WAVE
  • pick up tiny object with any part of thumb and finger X
  • walk holding on to furniture (cruise) X
  • understand "no" (but not always obey it)X
may possibly be able to
  • stand alone momentarilyX
  • say "dada" or "mama" discriminatelyX
  • point to something to get needs met
may even be able to
  • indicate wants in ways other than cryingX
  • "play ball" (roll ball back to you)
  • drink from a cup independently X
  • pick up a tiny object neatly with tips of thumb and forefinger X
  • stand alone well
  • use immature jargoning (gibberish that sounds as if baby is talking in a made-up foreign language)X
  • say one word other than "mama" or "dada" more & ball
  • respond to a one-step command with gestures ("Give that to me," said with hand out)
  • walk well
X means Brooke can do this at 10 months
