You are a lovable, laughable little darling to be around! Mommy and Daddy love each and every little thing about you. From your outgoing personality to your knack for knowing just when we go to bed to your cuddly nature, you are easy on our hearts, eyes and more! Here are a few things about you at 10 months.
If I ask you what sound a duck makes, you "quack." This is also true for most animals that I ask you about. :)
You are demanding of attention. All the time.
You are obsessed with the girls. Whether it's distributing treats, grabbing tails or playing tug of war with their toys, you are always in tune with the who, what, when, where regarding your d-0-g's.
You love, love, love to giggle...and to eat Mommy's hair.
Speaking of Mommy's hair, you are overall obsessed with it...especially when you are drinking a bottle. Too, you love to nuzzle your face on my shoulder and in my hair when you are tired or need a little comforting.
You catch on to new tricks and toys very easily.
When Daddy comes home for lunch or after work, your face LIGHTS UP.
When you are super excited, you pump your legs and arms so fast.
You have officially graduated into your 'big boy car seat' and not a moment too soon! Best decision we made to make the move because you have so much more mobility in it and seem to be more relaxed for long road trips. Witness our Christmas trip to OK.
You have started a new trick: dropping toys on the floor while in your high chair and once we've retrieved them for you...you repeat.
One of the most amazing things that you do is actually recognize Aunt Sophia on Skype. It is incredible to watch.
You are a SOCIAL BUTTERFLY. OMG. At every restaurant, in every store, whenever or wherever, you are the social chairman. I wonder where you get it...
You roll your tongue constantly.
While in the car, you'll break into song as I call it. You will just start sing/babbling with the music which is too funny.
When I scratch your back, you GIGGLE like no other.
Your favorite book: Pat the Bunny. (We will need another copy soon. As in very soon.)
Debuted Tooth #3 on Sunday, January 23! It's your upper left front tooth (central incisor.)
You have a 'new' smile now: the nose crinkle smile. It is seriously awesome. You reveal so much of a gummy grin and your teeny nose just crinkles up...ooh, so cute!
You have rosy cheeks, especially when you've been playing or sleeping hard.
Almost every time I change you, there are fireworks. You still absolutely hate to be on your back on the changing table. I am eagerly awaiting this phase to pass...and soon!
Everyone always thinks that you are older than you are thanks to your height...and "Donald Trump" hair. :)
You ate out at a restaurant half-dressed - in a polo and wrapped in a blanket. Let's just say that the ONLY salvageable item left on your body was the polo and your Mommy was ill-prepared so you ate dinner wrapped up in Mimi's wrap. At least it was Burberry! :)
You TRY to say "dog" and instead say "du-du" when you see the dogs. "Dada" and "Mama" roll off your tongue regularly. The rest of your vocabulary is unique to you as of now but sometimes I swear I understand what you are "saying."
You still take 2 naps a day: 9 and 1. Bedtime is 630 and you wake up at 659 am. :)
You ate dog food! Princess dropped off some food where you were playing and apparently it looked good. Fortunately Mimi caught on and wrestled it out of your mouth, half dissolved. ew. You love to put your hands in the water bowl too. Awesome.
Unfortunately, you were the recipient of your first cold/'stomach bug" grossness. We are glad that you are well now!!!
We are reminded of how blessed we are each day thanks to having you in our lives. You represent - and are - our hopes, dreams and love. Simply put, you are the light of our lives. We will love you forever and ever, my darling. Happy 10 month.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
