10 months

10 months old.

Man, it's been way to long since I've seen one of my boys in this jacket. 

Over the past month you have become such a different baby.  You are pretty much eating strictly table food right now.  I think this is the main reason why your spitting up has calmed down.  You are sleeping reliably through the night (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!).

You will wave to us.  You have a definite first word: Dada.  Your first phrase:  Hi Dada.  When Daddy comes home for the day, you are all over him.  Yelling Hi Dada over the chaos of your brother and sister definitely gets you some attention!  I have also heard you try to meow like a kitty.  You were pretty smitten with the little cat that hung around our cabin in Hocking Hills.

Nowadays, this is what we see:  a crawling little boy determined to explore his world.  You also love to stand up (holding onto furniture or hands of course).  You have even let go, determined to stand with no help.  As one can expect, that did not go well. 

Your hair is growing longer and longer.  You typically nap once in the morning and once in the afternoon.  On Sundays we have been taking you to church, but unfortunately it is right in the middle of your naptime.  You screech and yell and holler and then the last five minutes of church you fall asleep on my shoulder.

We love you baby.  Just don't grow up too fast!
