Little Mochi Update at 10 months

Posted on May 15, 2008 in Little Mochi by little mochi

He’s cruisin’!  Yup, my Little Mochi started cruising last week.  He is able to pull himself up and walk along furniture now.  I didn’t realize how strong they can be, being able to pull themselves up and all.  I feel that it won’t be long until he can take his first step!  Now he just won’t sit!

Also, he’s very good at pointing to where he wants you to take him.  Every time I carry him, he’ll point in one direction.  If you take him there, he’ll clap. 

Babbles way too much now.  But it’s so adorable.  However, this Little Mochi of mine sure has a temper!  Perhaps every baby does this.  But he kicks, screams, and cries if we set him down when he doesn’t want to be set down.  Or try to give him milk when he doesn’t want his milk.  Arg.

Speaking of milk, Little Mochi doesn’t seem to want it anymore.  Loves his juice and water out of his sippy cup though!  But during the day, he pushes the milk bottle away.  But if I give him the sippy cup, he’ll glady take it.  Why do babies do that?  Why do they stop wanting their milk?  Little Mochi still wakes up once during the night for a feeding - that’s the only time he’ll take the bottle.  Hm…

    Does he not want milk or the bottle? Have you tried putting the milk in a sippy cup?

    Hi Julia,

    Yup, tried that too. It’s strange…he’ll drink it once in awhile, but mostly rejects it. He’s learning to use the sippy cup as well. He doesn’t put anything in his mouth yet, just picks things up with his fingers, stare at it, play with it, and then tosses it. So I’m not even sure if he knows he’s supposed to put the sippy cup in his mouth by himself. =) How your daughter? When did she learn to use the sippy cup and did she ever not want her milk?

    i think we start giving DD the sippy cup maybe at 6 months old? we also give her water with a regular cup or a bowl quite early on… maybe 8 months old? if i remember correctly, she drinks from a regular cup all by herself as young as 14 months old. she finally holds her own sippy cup at around that age too. she drinks very little milk from the regular cup.. very weird. but she can finish more than 6 oz of milk in the sippy cup while lying down. she was drinking 18 oz of milk a day a month ago, we cut it down to 8-12 oz of milk a day now after reading the diaper-free before 3 book.

    He’s pretty good at drinking out a regular cup now, although we need to hold the cup for him. He’s also pretty good at holding his sippy cup by himself and putting it in his mouth now too. He’ll drink 4 oz easy if it’s watered down juice. It’s just a challenge to get him to drink his milk these days.
