10 Months Old

So Gavin is ten months old...crazy. Here are a couple things I just want to remember about where he is at right now...

1 - He just cut his second tooth.

2 - He is "cruising" around like crazy. For some the term cruising means "to sail or travel about"...you envision this in a leisurely manner...why the baby world has chosen this term for children when they walk along furniture beats me. There is nothing leisurely or smooth about Gavin's cruising. In fact he is like a maniac when he cruises...bumping and banging everything in his path.

3 - He eats everything. He is starting to prefer regular table food to his baby food and likes to hang half his body out of the high chair against the tray restraints in protest to baby food.

4 - He still loves Maddie and she still hates him (more posting on that later I hope).

5 - He knows how to climb stairs and the more you yell no, the faster he goes and the more he giggles.

6 - He sleeps like a champ most nights...still up early though around 6-6:30 am. He takes 2 and sometimes 3 naps during the day.

7 - He is just possibly getting the hang of SO BIG even though I have been working on it for months...he has done it a couple of times but that is it.

8 - He has started to do his own version of wrestling. He literally dive bombs toward you with his mouth open and laughs and laughs. He rolls around and topples on you over and over...needless to say, we are both in a fit of giggles.

9 - He misses his Daddy...Chad has been working like crazy lately which means Gavin has been missing out on some quality Daddy time.

10 - He is generally a happy boy. He is not really afraid of strangers, he'll show off for anyone and he absolutely is the highlight of every one of our days.
