Not to mention I am 33 years old today! Ack. That feels old, but at the same time it doesn't feel old at all. I'm married, with a family, a good job and a fairly good life.
But back to the most important part of this blog, the baby! He will be ten months old tomorrow and my has he changed. My little ten month old is so different from my 6 month old. He has literally blossomed from a grumpy, sourpuss into a cheerful, giggly, smiley, never stops moving, much easier to handle little boy.
He is officially a walker. He started to take his first few steps around 9 months and a few weeks later was full on walking around the house. He falls all over, but that hasn't deterred him. He is definitely a determined little dude.
Here is my son in bullet point form:
- He sleeps.
- He doesn't like to nap much, but he does give us a full nights sleep here and there. And when he doesn't, he is usually up only once and then back down again. (knock on wood!)
- He loves books. He can't get enough of them. I'm amazed at how easy he can kill time with his books.
- He is not a babbler. (unlike his mom)
- He loves noise makers, smashing two toys together to make noise.
- He loves to bang on laptops and computers.
- He knows what skype is and does.
- He hates shoes, and tries to eat his socks.
- When he is done, he is done. Meaning if we are out at a playdate and he is ready for home - he immediately shuts down and throws a baby smackdown of tears.
- But, he is finally an easier baby to read.
- He is a total joy.
- He can be the biggest turd when he wants to.
- He could not be more loved by his grandparents
- He could not be more loved by his parents
Did I mention he's being left with strangers! That freaks me out a bit too. I am comfortable with the home daycare we chose, but still.
My little baby is growing.
