10 months for little O!

Little O, you are ten months old now!  Little by little I see my little baby growing and changing into the beginning of a tiny toddler.  

Look at you sitting in the car at the grocery store!  You loved everything about this experience and I could hear you squealing over and over again.  Normally I would not have put such a young baby down below, but you were strapped in and I trust Ava to make sure you stay put.  You were so happy in that car though I doubt you would have tried to go anywhere else.

Another one of your faves:  water.  Everyone has been enjoying the little pool including you.  You get in and splash splash splash.  You laugh and squeal and have a blast.

The two comments I get most about you?  You are so snuggly and you are a happy boy.  I have to agree, you are happy most of the time and you do love a good snuggle!

This month you have began taking a couple of steps on your own while holding onto my hands.  You also love to practice standing.

Owen right now your favorite song is the wheels on the bus.  When you are fussing or upset if I sing this song you immediately stop and listen.  Earlier this month we went to my grandmother's funeral.  It was a tough day for you and you were unable to nap during your typical times.  Whenever you got upset we just sang the wheels on the bus over and over and over......but we had fun making up entertaining new verses.

My baby in a bucket!  You didn't want to get out.

You are also talking up a storm!  Your first word was "uh-huh."  I will ask you questions like "do you want to eat?"  And you will answer me "uh-huh."  Your next word was dada.  We were sitting on my bed and you saw Daddy walk into the bathroom.  You looked directly at him and yelled "DADA."  It was very clear you wanted him!  You have also said Mama and Ava as well.  You are attempting to imitate the animal sounds of a cat and dog and you repeated ba for a sheep.

I'm also happy to say you are a HUGE Daddy's boy.  You prefer him to me and practically jump out of my arms if he is around.  You put your head down on his shoulder for a little snuggle.

But your biggest change this month?  We have a crawling baby!  

We love you are sweet baby boy.  Happy ten months!
