10 Months!

 I cannot believe that our baby is 10 months old!  I know everyone says it and I will be saying it the rest of my life but… it feels like just yesterday that we were heading to the hospital to have this beautiful little boy.  He is such a joy in our lives and we love him more and more each day. 

 At 10 months James Darren is

-          Crawling everywhere (he thinks it is really funny when you try to chase him)

-          Eats almost anything – loves yogurt, cheese, bananas, muffins, pears, pineapple, and peaches

-          He pulls up on anything and everything and loves to climb up the stairs

-          He wants to be down and crawling most of the time even outside on the concrete (so he has some rough knees)

-          Still naps twice a day sometimes 3 times – this has been an adjustment with preschool and him learning to nap at school.  A few days he has not napped well and then will sleep for about an hour after I pick him up.  However this has not affected his sleeping at night – Praise the Lord

-          He sleeps from about 8-6 or sometimes a little later J

-          We are trying to cut out the bottles but he still has at least 1 a day.  At preschool he only drinks from a sippy cup

-          Is having a slightly clingy stage but nothing bad – he will cry a little bit when I drop him off in the mornings but he has stopped by the time I get out the door.  If he is really tired in the evenings he will fuss a little when Darren or I leaves the room or the dinner table.  

-          He talks a lot and is beginning to make several new sounds

-          He has begun to shake his head and wave his arms when he doesn’t want something, especially if I am trying to feed him something he does not want. 

-          He loves to play peek-a-boo especially after his bath with his towel

-          He is very ticklish and absolutely cracks up when you tickle him
