London turned 10 months on August 5th and I am really loving this age! He is so full of curiosity, he's so silly and learning and communicating in new ways every day. I weighed him on a scale at the grocery store the other day (only use I have for the meat aisle) and he is holding strong at 21 pounds.
London is waving on demand all the time. He double waves and always waves at daddy when he goes to work. But sadly he also cries when daddy has to leave :-( He is repeating some sounds, dancing, laughing, and starting to sign for "all done" when he's done eating. Eating has actually been an issue and food hasn't really been interesting him lately. He'd much rather explore the floor and play with toys. I am so happy that London is so curious to learn but he is also a cuddler which is an added bonus. He has been napping and going to sleep with no drama which has been awesome. He is still waking up every night between 4-5 am and wanting a bottle and then goes back to sleep. This is not ideal but I am not going to stress about it because he's not eating much during the day (trust me~I try!) and may just need to eat. I am ok with it but I think when I start back to work it's going to get a bit tiresome. Hopefully, he'll start sleeping straight to 8am soon.
I am really starting to get bummed out about going back to work and leaving London. We have such a good time together cuddling, playing, eating, etc. He will be with his grandma which is great but he doesn't sleep well for her and then when I get home he's usually too cranky to enjoy. I am going to miss our time together but so grateful I get this time each summer and I will just have to make a point to make sure our time together is quality!
We are moving into a new house mid-September and we're very excited. We are still renting which we are totally fine with, especially since we am not 100% sure I want to to be in NC much longer. The place is a single family home, huge open concept, 1900 sq ft, a decent courtyard patio area and way more closet space, bedroom space, we are so excited for London to explore his new surroundings and for the dogs to have a place to hang out outside. Hopefully someone takes over our current place so we can move.
We are also in the process of planning London's first birthday party. I am thinking maybe outside at a park or at our new place (if we're in by then) My parents and a few sibs are coming so we're excited about that. It's crazy to think London will be a year in just 2 months! Where has the time gone?! What an amazing year it has been with my gorgeous little miracle.
