10 months

You haven't grown much since last month and are still wearing all the same sizes, except for shoes. I took you to a shoe store and had your foot measured and you are offically a size 3. I felt really bad because just a few days earlier I had you wearing a pair of shoes that were 2s. You are just growing way too fast!

You have 5 teeth! You just got a new one on top this week.
You will eat pretty much anything we put in front of you. You have enjoyed steak, roast, pork chops, spagetti, mac and cheese, every fruit imaginable, lots of veggies and lots of other delicious things. I'm not sure what your favorite is because you love it all. You still don't drink out of cup too well, but you keep trying.

 You wave bye bye, say dada and what we think is supposed to be "dog", but sounds like "doa" So far you haven't even attempted to say "momma" but I know it will happen soon. 

 This last picture just cracks me up!  You are looking so serious and its just so unlike you, which is probably why I think its so funny.

We have been going on lots of walks lately and playing at the park some.  You really like the swings and playing on a quilt on the grass.  The fresh air always puts you in a good mood and calms you down if you are grumpy, (which is very rare) 
I catch you giving kisses to Butch all the time, but I only have one picture so far and its a really bad phone pic.

You truly are the happiest, most laid back baby ever.  I don't know what your daddy and I did to deserve sure a perfect little boy, but we are so very thankful for you! 

We love you all the way to the moon and back, little guy!

Afternoon at the Park

There are a million reasons I love my new job, but the biggest is that on beautiful days like today I can pick this sweet boy up from daycare early and we can hit the park.

9 months!

He was pretty much over the picture taking by this point.:-)

Stats:
18lbs 11oz
28 1/2 inches

You are wearing a wide variety of sizes, you can still wear 6-12 months in lots of things, but need 18 months in others.  its weird.  You have short legs, but a very long torso, so anything that is a one piece/snaps in the crotch you need a bigger size. You wear size 3 diapers, but we put you in size 4's at night, otherwise you wake up with a wet bed. Not fun.:-)

You have 4 teeth, the two top front and two bottom front

You still sleep really well.  You usually sleep at least 12 hours at night, and there was even one night where we put you to bed at 7:30p and I had to wake you up the next morning at 10a!  You are definately taking after your Momma, your daddy likes to say we are "sleep farmers"  If we are home, you take two 2-3 hour naps a day, but you will only take 1 short nap at daycare.  I guess there is just too much going on.

The big news for this month, is you finally started crawling.  You will also roll over now, which you wouldn't do before.  We also had to lower your crib this month, since you started sitting up on your own and trying to pull up.  You can make it to your knees, but you haven't quite figured out how to get all the way up.

broken computer

I have lots of catching up to do, but our computer has been broken for almost a month now.  We just got it back last night, so hopefully I can get some pictures downloaded and added to the posts I have been working on.  Here's an iphone pic of Finn at the park to hold you over.....
