10 Months

Dear Ari,

The time is just flying and I cant believe that you are 10 months already. You are such a happy baby who adds so much joy to our lives every day! This has been another big month with you learning how crawl, climb stairs and start to cruise furniture...you are unstoppable now!

Stats: 

Height: 26"
Weight: 15 lbs 11 oz

New skills: crawling, crawling and then climbing up on something to stand, cruising furniture, climbing stairs, clapping, waving bye and mouthing words

Teeth: 0 - but lots of drooling

This month we celebrated Daddy's birthday. We had Passover dinner on the same night and then we went bowling with some friends.



You enjoyed chasing after all the cool colours at bowling. Thankfully there were lots of people around to chase after you as you are getting fast! 



You are still a good little eater and are willing to try most foods. Although you are messy, you dont mind being cleaned up after. You also have a fascination with the cat food - you haven't trying to eat it (yet), but its you favourite place to crawl to.


You started the month army crawling, and very quickly got your knees under you and are now crawling super fast. You even went through a tunnel at gymnastics one day!









You have discovered climbing and you climb on everything - the cats, the play table, the couch,  the stairs, Ayla..whatever you can! You are super adventurous and like to explore! 







Ayla wanted to go on a skytrain/sea bus adventure so we took the skytrain and sea bus to Lonsdale Quay for lunch. You really enjoyed being on all the different things and checking everything out. Despite our best efforts, you didnt get an afternoon nap - you were too afraid to miss anything! 






The weather has been nice, so we have been trying to spend as much time with our friends at the park. We try and visit with Aayush as often as we can, both at our houses and the park, and after music we often go with Finley to the play cafe. You do like your friends! You love our music class and you are super sad to leave every week. 







This month, you were gifted a very special blanket. The organiser of Roots of Empathy has a daughter who was learning how to knit during spring break. She wanted to make a blanket for a baby, and she picked you to get her first blanket.

Your sister was also so excited that you 2 have similar pajamas - batman and batgirl. She loves you so much and she is enjoying you more now that you can interact with her more.


This month your buddies Levi and Thomas turned 1 and went to help them celebrate - which meant playing with our friends. You liked being with your friends and are starting to play more with them, not just near them.





A photographer friend was looking for babies to do some photos to test props, so we went out and got pictures done with her. You did such a good job and the pics are so cute! 




For Ayla's birthday, uncle Shaun and Sarah bought us a pass to Maplewood Farm, so we went to check it out. You enjoyed being outside and seeing all the animals up close. You even touched a goat!


Look at you grow! Changing so much every week! 






Love you bubs! 

Mama

Dearest Ari, These months are going by faster and faster - time needs to slow down!!! You have no idea how much joy and love you have brought to our family! You are laid back, easy going and your smile just melts all of our hearts - and you giggle, that's the best!!! Stats: Height: 23.5" Weight: 12 lbs 6oz New Skills: Giggling at things (mostly Ayla jumping), sitting up with help (and a bit alone), swimming, kicking in bath, sitting in bumbo, standing while leaning on things, starting to "talk and you like to slam your legs down. We have been enjoying a mild fall, and getting to the park as often as we can. You enjoy going in the swing and playing on the ground in the leaves.  As Halloween was coming, mommy had some fun with you in a pumpkin. You enjoyed it...until you didn't. Jim and Karen got a good laugh out of this too! Our favourite Tuesday morning group sadly came to an end Oct 31. Saying goodbye to the nurses at Public Health was hard as...

Dear Ari, Its been 4 months since you surprised us with your early entrance into this world. We are getting to know you and your personality and so far you seem super curious and laid back! You are starting to really notice things and smile at things that you like. You have started to do some more consistent night sleeps (yeah!) and we are starting to get you on a schedule. You seem to like to nap every 2 hours or so - you eat, play and the sleep at around the 2 hr mark. Stats: Height: 22.75" Weight: 11 lbs 8 oz New skills: starting to reach for toys, giggling, rolling tummy to back consistently, standing with support and smiling at things you like  Your sister still adores you, although she does get a little but jealous when mom and dad spend time with you instead of her. She loves giving you hugs in the am and she asks to touch you and give you lots of kisses. If she forgets to give you a kiss before bed or before we leave her at daycare it makes her very upset. She a...

Dear Ari, Wow! Time is sure flying by and I cant believe that you are 6 months already - it feels like you have been here for so much longer. You have brought so much love and joy into our family at a time when we really needed it. Stats: Height: 23.5" Weight:12 lbs 15oz New skills:  jumping in the jolly jumper, "talk" REALLY loudly,  talking in a "breathy" voice when happy, sitting in the shopping cart, almost sitting by your self and you are sooooo close to rolling from back to tummy This month you have been working a lot on your sitting - you are super close to sitting alone. You love sitting in the Bumbo and watching us eat and you enjoyed trying to sit in the shopping cart (even though you didn't last too long). Auntie Maya and Noa were still here and you spent some time with your cousin. Ayla loved that mommy bought everyone the same pajamas. Its too bad we couldnt get all 5 of the Pulvers cousins together for a picture.  ...
