10 months

Ten months! As I put it on Instagram, my babies are in double digits now. This month has been full of milestones for Henry and Norah, and I can definitely see their distinct personalities forming. Here's what they're doing at 10 months.

Henry:

• Weighs about 21.5 pounds and is probably 29.5 inches long
• Still wears mostly nine-month clothes but fits into some 12-month pants
• Army crawls everywhere but doesn't pull himself up yet
• Currently HATES it when we try to make him sit, arching his back and standing so that we have to bend his legs. Once he's sitting, though, he's happy.
• Has four teeth still, and the bottom two are adorably crooked
• Eats practically all baby food but isn't a fan of ham or green beans
• Usually takes 20-minute naps but has taken two- to three-hour naps lately when he's really tired
• Loves to follow Norah around and steal her toys (which is payback for her stealing his for months)
• Is still an incredibly happy baby and loves to smile at everyone and make himself and Norah laugh
• Gets really excited when his dad comes home from work and scoots over to greet him with a big grin on his face
• Has started rolling to his tummy immediately when we put him down to sleep at night
• Screams bloody murder when he's hungry or doesn't want to take a nap
• Calms down when I sing to him or turn his mobile on
• Babbles all the time and can say "baba" and "mama" (although he doesn't realize that I'm mama yet)
• Is quick at rolling over when I'm trying to change his diaper

Norah:

• Weighs 18.5 pounds and is probably close to 28 inches long
• Still wears mainly six-month clothes but has started to wear nine-month onesies
• Pulls herself up to standing next to the couch, walker and baby gate and will be standing on her own soon
• Knows how to open the baby gate by pulling the latch up and has let herself and Henry out to play in the kitchen
• Does not like baby food at all and will only take a few bites of sweet potatoes, apple sauce or yogurt before clamping her mouth shut
• Loves to shake her head "no" and has taught Henry to do it, too
• Giggles at Henry and likes to watch him crawling under the walker while she's standing next to it
• Doesn't say any words yet but says "Mmmmmmmm" urgently when she wants me to pick her up
• Takes great naps throughout the day (usually at least an hour long) but has decided bedtime doesn't happen until 10 p.m. or later
• Still prefers to be fed with a bottle but pushes it away immediately when she's done
• Likes to be tickled on her legs and gives us great throaty laughs when we find the right spot
• Doesn't have any teeth yet but continues to chew on everything, so they must be coming soon
• Pulls herself up to standing in her crib so she can watch us when we come grab her
• Still loves to be snuggled when she's tired and falls asleep quickly when I sing to her and hold her
• Only takes her pacifier when she's about to go to sleep but loves to play with it and the pacifier cord

I'm already planning their first birthday and having a hard time believing it's almost here. Time flies when your twins are growing up.
