10 Months

I have no idea why it keeps uploading this pic sideways.... but I had to show how hard it was to do the 10 month shots. He loves playing with George so much that he just wanted to jump on him instead of sit with him to take the pictures.

Wow, double digits! I can't believe my baby is a little boy already. He's doing great. He makes all kinds of noises and sounds. (Including an awesome squeal when he sees one if his Curious Georges.) He amuses himself quite a bit, which is pretty funny most of the time. He still only says mama and ball. He's nurses a little in the morning, takes a morning and afternoon bottle and then drinks a few more oz before bed but real food is really taking over his diet. I've also started randomly supplementing next step formula every once in a while which he drinks as if its the same thing hes been drinking all his life. You just never know where your battles may be! But it makes it nice and easy sometimes when I can't warm a bottle. He's sleeping the same, about 8ish until about 6:30am-7am. I'd like him to sleep a little longer in the morning of course but its not too bad. He's still taking two decent naps (finally down to one afternoon nap). He'll sleep anywhere from 45mins to 1 1/2 hours in the morning and anywhere from 1-2 hours in the afternoon. A longer afternoon nap would be nice but we take what we can get. He's a great eater, will eat any kind of baby food you give him. He also loves his puffs and yogurt bites and anything that's hard and crunchy. He will not however, pick up and eat anything soft. Its a bit odd but we try to give him pieces of real food and he just squishes them and plays with it but won't eat it, even if you put it in his mouth yourself..... guess we'll keep trying! He's crawling up a storm. He loves the steps and he gets around in his walker (a perfect last thought yard sale find) like a pro, he can maneuver it anywhere and everywhere perfectly. Its a riot! He had been teething some but no teeth yet...it hasn't been bothering him much the last 2 weeks.

We are just so lucky and blessed to have such an awesome boy. He really does have quite the personality for so young an age, we know he's going to be a lifetime of entertainment (which can be both good and bad right?!?!).

We're doing good otherwise. Trying to get our pool time in when it gets warm enough (today definitely counts as warm enough but its been a long time coming). I've dropped down to working only 2 days a week till September when the legislature comes back to town and maybe, perhaps, if its not too much trouble, actually passes a state budget which is loooong overdue at this point (at least the state workers are finally getting paychecks). So I have Tuesdays off with the boys which is fun. Money is rather tight for now but we're still lucky to have what we have.

You may notice his shirt is from eagles training camp. Nate went with his friend Carl last week. They had a great time!

This picture is actually on their website!

See what is in store this year....
