10 months old

I'm 10 months old now. I'm about 30 inches long and around 21 lbs. Momma said I'm a busy body because I like to crawl and explore everything around me. I also like to stand up and walk around holding on to whatever I can get my hands on. I'll even stand on my tip-toes to get something out of reach. I started "climbing" and that means I can reach even more things. I like to reach and stretch to get cell phones and remotes, though Momma and Daddy don't usually leave them where I can get them.

I still like to sleep. I sleep mostly on my stomach with my hands over my head. I pull my knees up under me and have my butt up in the air. Momma said she thinks I look "silly" but if I'm "comfortable", that is fine with her. I sleep about 12 hours a night and take a couple 1 1/2 hour naps during the day.

When I'm awake, other than getting into anything I can reach, I like to eat. I've been eating puffs for a snack in the morning and the afternoon. New foods I've tried are Pineapple, Corn, Cantaloupe, Cauliflower, and lots of new spices like ginger, rosemary, and cumin. I have 4 teeth which help me eat lots of yummy food.

When we go places, I like to smile and laugh a lot but I like it most if Momma or Daddy don't leave me, especially if I'm a little sleepy. I say "da-da" a lot and "ma-ma" sometimes. I say "ma-ma" mostly when I'm upset and need some attention.

My favorite thing is bath time with Daddy. He lets me splash in the water and dumps water over my head. I also like it when Daddy hums rock-a-bye to me while we are getting ready for bed. I like when Momma lays on the floor and plays with me and when we snuggle before I go to sleep for my naps. Momma says everyday that I look bigger than the day before and while she seems a little sad, Momma and Daddy both said they are really happy I'm growing up big and strong.

Some new photos

Funny Faces of me and you can even see all 4 of my teeth in the darker one if you click on it:

My New Bedding - notice Momma added covers over the railings so I cannot chew on them anymore. No worry, I just chew on the covers instead.

Here are some pictures of me learning how to feed myself puffs. They are very tasty but they like to stick to my hand. And Momma said to mention I use both hands when I feed myself.

Here is a picture of me with my 3rd cousin Lucy on Memorial Day. We went to her Grandma and Grandpa's house for lunch.

Note from Momma: He does have more clothes than just the Red, White, Blue stripped shirt you see in most of these pictures. He just happens to wear that one often when I have the camera out. And, well, I think he looks darn cute in it! :)
