Wild Honey Pie
Lazy blogger here. Time just flies and I realize I haven't written in a while. Oops!
Lennon is 10 months old now! She's doing great. Crawling everywhere...and fast. She pulls herself up on her knees and has shown some signs of trying to put a foot up but isn't getting to her feet yet. If she's on her knees against one of us on the couch she does crawl up and get on her feet. She's quite interested in her toys and books now. Her favourite thing is to pull books out of the bin and to play with the stacking rings (takes them off but doesn't put them back on yet). She'll hold a ring and crawl with it across the floor. She loves to follow me around. If I'm in the kitchen she is there at my feet in no time. She tends to get a bit cranky around the time when I'm getting dinner ready. I've started putting her in her seat to watch me and giving her a little snack. It keeps her happy and gives me some peace to get dinner going!
Lennon is eating all kinds of things now. (No honey yet). She tries everything! Recent things she liked that were a bit of a surprise are olives and a pasta we had with some spicy chicken sausage in it! She's adventurous! I haven't come across anything she doesn't really like. She does have some trouble with plain chicken since it's hard to chew/mash in her mouth. But there hasn't been anything she refuses to eat. Hopefully this continues! We typically feed her whatever we're having for dinner. Sometimes she gets a packaged baby food if we're out or having something that isn't good for her - like pizza night (although she loves to chew on a piece of crust)! For breakfast she has her infant cereal (loves it) and lunch is usually some leftovers, or a piece of toast with peanut butter, and some yogurt and fruit. She's a good eater! She still breastfeeds four times a day as well.
Last week Lennon had her first dentist visit! I had an appointment for myself so I thought I'd take her in too since she's supposed to be checked around a year old anyway. Close enough. It was a quick one for her - no cleaning...haha! The doc just had a quick peek at her little teeth. No cavities! She has four teeth and two more coming through. We brush every night before bed. Some nights it's a fight and she shuts her mouth tight. We have to wait for her to open her mouth to cry to get in there. Other nights she is ok with it and sucks on the toothbrush. I think the times she refuses must be when her gums are feeling sensitive from the teeth coming in. We used to use a cloth which was easier than the brush but with two top and two bottom teeth she started biting so brush it is.
Sleep. Sleep is going well...knock on wood! Lennon is now consistently sleeping all night. She goes to bed around 7:30 and will sleep through until just after 7, sometimes later. Only 10 months to get there! I suppose that could change again, but I'm hopeful! She also takes two naps during the day. One around 9:15 for 45 min to 1hr 15 min and one around 1:30 for an hour or two.
In less than a month now, Lennon and I will head to Bowmanville for Christmas. Fred will join us a bit later. We're looking forward to being there with my family and excited that Steve and Heather and the kids will be there too this year!
Well, I hear Lennon waking up from her nap...that was a short one. I'll have to post some pics later.

I am the Walrus (Ladybug, Shrek, Witch...actually)
Lennon has perfected the crawl. She moves quite quickly now. Her favourite things to crawl for are still the curtains but also the lamp plus cord. Keeps me on my feet! She's also been sleeping a little bit better. Last weekend we had three nights in a row with no wake ups! Wow! The rest of the week she had a wake up here and there and another full night. It's still very inconsistent, which is the frustrating part. Just when you think there's a pattern or a corner has been turned, it all changes!
Last weekend we went to Cobb's Corn Maze with our friends Jerry and Danielle and their little guy, George. It was cold! It felt like winter out. We walked through the maze even though the corn was barely knee high (doesn't make for a very good maze!). There are lots of games and stuff there too, more for bigger kids though. It was so cold we had a hot chocolate, took some pics of the kids and then hit the road.
This week we had a little Halloween party with our mommy group. Our regular weekly gathering except all the kids were dressed in their costumes. There were four ladybugs, Lennon being one of them! It was very cute, but very difficult to get a group picture! Just about all of the babies are on the move now.
Friday was Halloween. Lennon was just the most adorable little ladybug! Fred's office had a costume contest and they had a lunch for everybody so I dressed up in my witch costume and took my ladybug over there. Everyone in the office except one person was dressed up! Fred actually won the contest with his Shrek costume! Lennon, surprisingly, wasn't scared by any of the costumes, not even dad in a large green mask. She just stared and looked around at everyone.
Halloween evening we went for an early walk and then we were home to hand out candy. Last year we only had 1 kid at the door so I wasn't expecting much but still wanted to be prepared! We ended up having 22 kids to the door. Fred donned his Shrek mask to greet them at the door. He only scared one little boy!
We are currently getting our first snowfall. Well, besides that freak snowstorm we had in September! It feels so cold. I guess winter is coming:( Time to start thinking about a warm winter holiday!?!
