Double Digits!

Our baby is ten months old today! People keep mentioning some big event that will take place exactly two months from now, and I just can't bear to think about it. Time is flying by way too fast, and my baby is becoming less and less of a baby as the days go by. Slow down, mister man!

So many new things are going on now:

- Your top two teeth came in, bringing your grand total up to four!

- You said "dada" on Sunday when your daddy came in the room!

- You also stood up without holding onto anything on Sunday in an attempt to intice your aunt Nikki into giving you her bottle of water.

- You finally understand that you can't keep crawling past the edge of the bed. Now, you perch precariously on the edge as you peer down to the ground below, before finally sitting back down.

- You're eating two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, and still nursing like a champ.

- You've been crawling over to me and pulling on my pant leg quite a bit recently, which I think is just adorable.

- You walk holding our fingers! I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it when you can do this all on your own!

- You stood up using just the back of the couch today! Talk about a big boy!

Those are all of the developments I can think of right now, but I'm sure you'll be doing more by morning! Try not to grow up too fast, baby boy... Your first year is flying by, and I'm trying to soak in as much of it as I possibly can!

Here are the shots of our ten month old:

He'd rather pull the drying diapers off of the doorknobs than look at Mama for a picture!

Check out those top two teeth!

Grandma and Grandpa showed up early to visit! (And, we got snow again!)

Contemplating those fistfulls of snow...

And, he's done. Time to go back inside!

(Notice the lack of "I'm so excited!" grinning pictures. Being on the move is now much more fun than smiling for the camera!)
