Your baby, 10 months 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 and older

Your baby is more aware of what makes you happy and what dissapoints you. When you clap, he will continue with what he was doing. Sometimes you may want him to show off his new skills and talents to others. Some babies will do this, but do not be dissapointed if he does not. Many babies are not quite ready to be performers yet! Your baby has lots of feelings and emotions. She can get upset very easily. When other people are upset, she knows. She might even respond by getting upset herself. Teach your baby how to deal with her feelings in a positive manner.

If it hasn't already, stranger anxiety may strike around now. He knows when you are not around and will probably cry. Some babies will wake up in the night looking for a familiar face. Practice short separations and when you return, make it enjoyable. When your baby is going somewhere new, plan to stay for a little while to help dettle him in. When you leave, tell him goodbye and give him a kiss/hug. Then, leave. He will get busy playing and will be just fine.

She understands simple sentences and commands. Your baby knows the meaning of `no` and can shake her head from side to side. When she learns a new word, she may become fascinated with it and repeat it all day. When you ask your baby where a part of her body is, she might be able to show you. Read books to your baby and continue to tell her what the pictures show.

From here on out, your baby will be testing your authority. You need to set rules and limits and stick to them. If your baby is allowed to do one thing today but not tomorrow, she will only get confused. Make it easy for your baby to behave. Remember that she is still a baby and set realistic limits. Move temptations out of her way until she can better understand why she needs to leave it alone. Instead of saying `no` all of the time, use words such as `hot`, `it will hurt`, 'it will break`, etc. Be patient, gentle and undersanding when she is doing something that you do not like. If your baby gets angry because she is not getting her way, be firm. Do not give in to make her feel better.

Play games with your baby. Babies like playing peek-a-boo and other hide and find type games. Imitation games are also good for your baby to play. Because babies learn by imitation, only show him things that you want him to learn. This is a good way to teach him how to clap his hands and wave by bye.

Climbing is a skill that is important for your baby to learn. While she is learning to climb, always be nearby in case she falls. Your baby needs to know what types of things are appropriate to climb on. Do not teach her to climb anything that will be off limits. Show her how to climb down crawling backwards so that she does not come down head first. Do not allow her to climb the stairs unless you are with her. Baby gates should be installed at the tops and bottoms of stairs to prevent accidents.

Let your baby use a spoon to feed herself. Mashed potatoes, yogurt, applesauce, cottage cheese and cooked cereals will stick well to the spoon. This can make learning to self-feed less messy. Continue to include finger foods at mealtime and for snacks. Your baby should still be on breastmilk or formula. Mealtimes should be a fun learning time and not frustrating. A mess is easily cleaned up. If your baby senses frustration, she will be less likely to attempt self-feeding.

Emma sounds exactly like my Olivia - haha! They don't want to take the first steps..lol!! Olivia can stand on her own, but as soon as she starts walking she hold onto the walker or a couch. She has to bottom teeth and two top teeth. Lets hope they'll walk before they are 1 yrs old... lol!! She says mama, dada, Lizie, bye, and so many other words.....

rbrencur - Sunday, 8 Jan
Emma is 10 months today! Woohoo! I don't know where everyone from our group has gone haha. But if anyone is still reading, tomorrow is the bg ultrasound, and we get our van! Emma is doing so well. using her push walker, and any other toy she can stand at as a walker, but is scared to walk or stand without touching something. little bugger, take your first steps already!! ah well.

@noahsmomma11 my baby is having separation issues too!! how you handle them??

mama2LT - Sunday, 11 Dec
So happy to hear everyone's LO's are doing well, Dominic will be 11 months next Tuesday and I can't believe how fast the year has gone by he's a little boy not a baby anymore '( He is so very smart, he says 'mama' 'dada' 'baba' 'grandpa' ( sounds more like ga-pa) lol he shakes his head yes and no and just started standing alone for about 30 seconds as a time, still a little scared. And he has quite the temper but he's such a cuddle bug it's adorable I feel so blessed. And once I lose about 20 more pound DH and I hope to start on our 2nd :)

noahsmomma11 - Thursday, 8 Dec
Like everyone else says I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast and will be a year old in two short months!! He walks along furniture and crawls...very fast lol He loves trying grown up foods and is such a happy baby always singing and laughing and babbling. He definitely has some separation issues right now ans prefers me to sit on the floor next to him while he plays. He's fine if he crawls away from me but if it's me who walks away from him he pitches a fit. I love going through all these stages with him. He has made my life complete :)

bigsmiles - Thursday, 24 Nov
WOW! It's been so long since I have been here. Avery is 10 monhs and has been walking since 9 months. She is a handful always geting into everything. She is such a happy baby. She refuses bby food so now eats everything we eat. She has only her 2 bottom teeth. I can't believe that she will be a year soon.

azeeza - Sunday, 20 Nov
Heya Sophia will be 10 months in a week, she has 7 teeth and loves to eat everything, however she is very lazy to crawl, she scoot on her bum and tummy but once she gets on her knees to crawl she gets lazy and just lays flat on the floor. should be concerned that she is not crawling yet? she does move and sit on the carpet but just lazy to crawl so im not sure what to think...

mama2LT - Thursday, 17 Nov

lexus000 - my son try that some time and there is no way i let hih get away with that if i know he can do it then he is going to do it, you dont want your son to be 2 or 3 and you are still doing every thing for him. When he gets old he will aways think that he does not need to do it because you will do it for him, i would get out of that right away!

lexus000 - Friday, 7 Oct
LOL...Im seeing where everyone's babies are either crawling, saying simple words or walking....my Zachary is being the lazy one. He doesnt want to try to walk, crawl, say words, drink from a sippy cup, hold his bottle (even tho he can) or anything...he just likes to sit and observe everything that is going on around him. Im not concerned YET...I know he will start doing all these things in his own dear sweet time. Glad all is going well with everyone

Amandalmc - Friday, 7 Oct
My son just turned 10 months on the 6 of this month and he is walking around, but only when we are not looking if we are looking he will not walk.

bumpalumpa (julie) - Wednesday, 5 Oct
yay! Isobel has started walking everywhere with her push along toy. shes so cute! go izzy! :o)

newmamaof3 - Tuesday, 27 Sep
Hi Everyone.... I feel like I'm ignoring all of you. :( I'm so sorry. Now that school is back in, I'm soooo busy. It is so amazing how fast our babies are becoming toddlers so fast. It's good to hear that every body is doing so well. Emma is seriously a big girl. She says easy words like, baba, dada, of course mama, ball, and the infamous no!! LOL She walks everywhere and is even trying to run. She looks like a drunken sailor. It makes me laugh.

mamalira - Tuesday, 27 Sep
We are having a Dr. Seuss birthday party! Tonight is our last night in Month 10! Holy crap has this year gone fast lol!

britta06 - Tuesday, 27 Sep
Bennett will be 11 months on Sunday. Ah, he is getting so big. Now that he is walking everywhere, I don't even feel like he is a 'baby' anymore. He's more like a toddler/ little person! He isn't talking but he's very intelligent and learns so fast, that I can't call him my 'little baby' anymore. Oh well, This walking stage is BY FAR my favorite stage!! He's so much fun! His first birthday party will be in almost a month (the weekend before his birthday) So I'm trying to plan everything. Our place is sort of small but we'll make it work!

mattied - Monday, 26 Sep
Hey Molly, I give my little girl scrambled or over easy egg. She loves them. She does fine with it. Also my little girl's hair doesnt't want to grow either. rjbrown: Maddie doesn't want to walk either, just around furniture. But no steps yet.

spelfrey (Shauna) - Sunday, 25 Sep
Almost forgot, Hattie will be 11 months old tomorrow!!!!

spelfrey (Shauna) - Sunday, 25 Sep
Hattie has a TON of hair. Probably two and a half inches in the back and on the sides and probably 5 inches on top. Because she wont keep in hairbows I have started pulling her hair up 'Pebbles' style. Its pretty cute if I do say so myself. :) oh, and she has already had a hair cut.

memedawn - Sunday, 25 Sep
My LO doesn't have very long hair, but she does have a good even covering. I can clip barrets and hair bows in it. As far as eggs, I haven't given Avery any yet, mostly because I can't seem to find the time to cook it (I know that is a bad excuse) but I have read that egg yolks are ok (due to allergies) until 12 months and after a year they can have the hole thing.

mollymummy - Sunday, 25 Sep
Has anyone given there lo scrambled eggs yet? I read a study that said it was ok from 9mths?

bumpalumpa (julie) - Sunday, 25 Sep
