I can’t believe he’s now 10 month’s old!  This month has been amazing!  Most of it was spent having Mum and Dad here and seeing Arthur getting close to them has been the best thing ever.  Mark was home from work too and Arthur loved having him around more.

He’s into everything and gets absolutely everywhere, a real handful but he really is so much fun!

Hes babbling so much, his favourite sound is definitely ‘dada’ but we are getting lots of ‘baba’ and lots and lots of shouting, he’s definitely enjoying the sound of his own voice!  We get ‘mama’s’ when he’s upset (typical!)

Arthur really loves being outside, he absolutely loves next door’s cat and so he spends a lot of time chasing after her!  Having had mum and dad here we’ve spent lots of time at the beach with him and he thinks crawling around in the sand is awesome….eating seems pretty fun too!

Still sleeping through the night which is of course lovely, he still unfortunately wakes up around 5, we’ve had far too many 4:30 wake up’s for my liking too!  We are going to try and make his bed time a little later.  We’ve tried this before but not for more than a night or two, maybe if we stick at it for a week or so it might convince him to sleep in a little longer (fingers crossed!!!)

He had a couple of sleepovers with my Mum and Dad while they were here, he had lots of fun and was a good boy for them (they said so anyway!) it was nice for Mark and I to get some lie in’s too, one of which was on my birthday which was wonderful!

Our little guy LOVES eating, pretty much everything!  I made him scrabbled eggs and thats the first thing he really turned his nose up at, to be fair it looked disgusting I had never made it before (I don’t eat eggs!) and so i’m not sure it was meant to look like that!

We have dropped the afternoon bottle so he is just on 3 a day now, 1 first thing in the morning, 1 late morning and one at bed time.  This has been achieved with thanks to ‘snacky nana’ my mum was given that nickname as she was constantly giving him lots of yummy snacks, his favourite is definitely raisins!

This month we will be getting back into more of a normal routine with Mark being back at work and Mum and Dad back in the UK 🙁 but I’m feeling more confident about taking Arthur down to the beach by myself now so we will definitely be getting out and about a lot.

He really looks so much like Mark his eyes are identical and his hair is becoming really curly too!  Its a little lighter then Mark’s though I think his hair colour will be more like mine.

All of a sudden now he’s 10 months we realise how close he is to turning 1.  Amazing and terrifying!  Its a good reality check for us to make sure we savour every second of our time with Arthur as a baby!
