10 months...

10 months!  its going by pretty fast.  it helps that this time of year is crazy with holidays and birthdays and anniversaries that next thing i know he'll be 1!! he is still the cutest little guy ever!! and still tall and skinny.

here are some fin things he is doing lately:
- not crawling yet but everyday is moving around more and more and just figured out out to pull himself forward, almost like an army crawl.
- he sits up great and is spinning around by moving his legs in a circle.
- he makes all sorts of noises from raspberries to buzzing elephant to just chatting and making lots of sounds.
-occasionally looks right at me and says "mama" not sure if he gets that i'm mom yet, but its still fun
- he knows the sign for "all done" and does it all the time now.
- he's waved bye bye once or twice... he often will do a new trick one day and then wait awhile before ever doing again.

- he is such a content child... i can leave him on the floor with nothing around him and he will just sit and find something else to entertain himself or play with the one nearby toy for a while.  i thinks its why he isn't crawling all over... he's just content.
- he has 8 teeth now... yep 8!! 6 came all at once.. it was a lovely month with terrible sleeping.  not fun.
- he loves to feed himself so i cut up little bananas and he picks them up one by one.  he also eats little tiny bits of bread.
- he is sleeping through the night for 12 hours.  and usually wakes up very happy.
- he laughs often at all sorts of things.

- he has had a runny nose for 2 weeks now and one day i walked over to him to find this awesome mess:

this is a very sneaky looking face....

here are a few videos for enjoyment:

for the first minute he is just making faces and then he gets real chatty at about a minute

he slides around on the ground and does pushups with the high chair as it slides

all his little sound effects...

this one is hilarious... he is being grumpy and has a little freak out and then just keeps playing...

his first scooting army crawl attempts

gurgling and chatting

we were watching glee and they were singing "we are the champions" and i was singing along and rocking it out and whipping my hair around and he laughed for about 10 minutes straight... and kept wanting me to do it... staring at me until i would do it again...

he is such a cute little guy and we love him a lot... tonz and more every day!

he's getting so big!!
