ten months

Baby!  You're not a baby anymore!

You sure have become mobile and active this month.  You crawl everywhere; one leg with a foot on the floor, the other tucked in at the knee - you sure are funny.

You love being around your family and your eyes light up watching everyone interact.  You scream to be noticed, love a good laugh, and are a sucker for a goodnight wave goodbye.

We adore you.

Here's what's new this month:

• Your two naps are getting shorter, and call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to getting down to a single nap a day
• You think toilets are water tables, so bathroom doors are always shut (You're also a sucker for a good toilet paper roll!)
• You're crawling up stairs, but I've only let you get 2-3 steps up
• You're pulling up on everything and have started letting go for a second...walking is in our near future
• You're walking with Jonny Walker (push toy).  It's only a few steps on the carpet, but you're learning the mechanics
• You're a huge fan of splashing in the bath and pool
• You're still wearing lots of 9 month clothes, but 12 month clothing fits too
• You love squeeze packs if I'm willing to deal with the mess, but finger foods are still your favorite
• You love your water sippy and dropping it from your highchair gets you giggling with delight
• George is probably the coolest guy you know.  You study him with such concentration  :)

Two months until the big first birthday!  

We love you so much, Baby.
