10 Months

Time is flying by!

• Crawling…. You are so happy now that you can crawl. It is amazing to watch you learn to do new things. It did not take you long to figure it out and now you are so fast.  
• You are getting into everything… cabinets and drawers and closets. You pull everything out and move on to the next one. You are dying to get into the fridge. As soon as it is open, you hustle over but Momma closes it before you get there.
• You are pulling up to your knees and a few times to standing. We had to lower your crib and have to keep a close eye on you since you can reach things that you couldn’t before.
• Up until now, your hair has been stick straight like Daddy’s. But just recently it’s started getting curly in the back. So precious! Now it will be hard to cut it.
• You’ve been sick for much of this month. It started as a cold and then became a sinus infection. We had to go to the doctor twice and get antibiotics and an inhaler before it got better. You were very very fussy and did not have an appetite at all. You are feeling much better now and are back to your happy self.
• Some of your favorite things to play with are cords and strings. Cords to the computer, lamps, monitor, sweatshirt strings, jacket strings, crib bummer strings.
• You have become quite an opinionated little boy. You have very particular preferences and you definitely let us know if we don’t get it right.
• One day on a walk around the neighborhood, a boy about 5 years old came over and said “What a cute little baby you have there?... Can I pet him?”
• You love to sleep on your side in a “L” shape. This is how Momma likes to sleep too!
• At your 9 month checkup you weighed 19lb 8 oz. Only one pound gained since your 6 month visit. You are definitely not quite so chubby. Don’t worry though, you still have plenty of rolls.
• You took your longest car ride to Kansas City to meet Grandpa Ralph. You really liked Grandpa because he would act very silly to get you to smile.
• Daddy was off work for a whole week and we had a great time together as a family.
