are we seeing this right...

double digits?

 sweet boy!  you are 10 months old. 

 we are not even sure what to think about this, except...

 my   oh   my 

we are only a few months short of being parents to a toddler. 

so for this month, we will continue to enjoy every bit of our 10 month old baby!  even if we have to chase after you.

we have so much to say about you at 10 months.

when you break open that smile or let out your silly giggle we see all those teeth you have been working hard on letting in.

your hair is growing like crazy. the mohawk these days is a little extreme.  we are trying to wait till you reach one year for that first hair cut. we'll see if we can make it.

you love eating all kinds of foods these days.  most especially bananas, chicken salad, crackers, you love any meat we will share with you, you are always happy to accept.

your little feet touching the footrest shows how you are growing a little taller every day.

growing so much so, when you sneak away from us we hear where you are. playing every key of the piano you can get your fingers on.

you also enjoy being able to watch daddy from the window when he's working on the yard.

you still chase mama around when i am trying to clean.

so much so you usually are hanging on my legs trying to bite me just to let me know you are there.

(how sweet is that?)

you love making sure we are well fed just like you.

your evening routines have changed a little bit.

we usually play together getting you to give us the best laughs.

then we'll do the normal nightly routine.

we enjoy rocking with you in your room. sometimes you fall asleep and sometimes you are happier to go to sleep on your own in your crib.

we couldn't ask for a better baby.

you still enjoy your sleep just like we do. all through the night and a long nap, sometimes two in the afternoon.

the crazy thing is you still sleep in your own unique way. just like you did as a newborn.

you are a trooper in the car these days.  this has always been hard work for you.

you are still our little lover...

cuddling as often as you can.

we cannot believe how fast you are moving these days.

everyone we meet says you will probably be walking soon.

we won't be surprised either, just amazed. these 10 months have gone by in a flash.  

we can't get enough of you buddy, and all the excitement you have brought us this last 10 months. 

we've never been happier to start our day.

we love you little "10 month old" man
