10 Months Young


At 10 months old you:

  • Still wake up 1-3x per night
  • Are mostly sleeping in your crib in your own room now
  • Still wearing cloth diapers!
  • In all size 12mo clothes
  • Have 7 teeth now!
  • Still take 2 good naps
  • Will NOT sit still! You love to crawl and stand up
  • Are eating more regular food now and finger foods
  • Have about three 6oz bottles each day
  • Like drinking water from a sippy cup




He is such a sweet boy and loves to smile! He is always on the move and I know he'll be walking soon. The one thing he loves more than moving is EATING! This boy can put that food away, I think he has a hollow leg! I just can't believe this his first birthday is only 2 months away.

Fun With Pho!

Today while the big kid was in school, we decided to take a fun trip to the local Asian market and check out the goods! Jacob loved the music they had playing and bounced in his seat the whole time.



I got some seasoning cubes to make Pho, some treats, coconut milk, spoons, fresh ginger, and some other veggies.
 

Hubby requested spring rolls to go with the pho so that's what I started doing while the broth was simmering. Spring rolls are pretty simple and I already had the rice paper. I cooked some chicken breast with Chinese 5 spice, and I cooked some rice noodles. You soak each rice paper in warm water for about 30 seconds the lay it on a plate. You layer your fillings then carefully wrap it up. I used lettuce, rice noodles, and the seasoned chicken. Yum!
 

 

For the pho I keep it simple by using the bouillion cube that has all of the seasoning in it. Each cube flavors 2 cups of water and I made 6 cups of broth. When it came to a boil I added noodles. When those were cooked I turned the heat off and added the cooked chicken and chopped green onions.
 

It was all delish and even Brad loved it! We each ate 2 spring rolls.
