Let me start out by saying I am eternally sorry for not bringing your blankie to G-Mama's house today. You are in your bed protesting to no avail, and I'm not entirely convinced we're even going to get a nap out of you today. Bless your heart. I promise I'll try not to ever, ever forget again.
On a lighter note, Happy 10 Month Birthday!!!
I simply cannot believe it has been 10 months since your tiny pink feet hit the planet. I have adored every minute we've gotten to spend with you, and I am overjoyed at the sight of the sweet little boy you've become in the short time you've been here!
*You're doing all kinds of adorable things these days, but one tops the list by far. Lately, your daddy has shown you how to "play football," and you LOVE it. You find your football, and you tackle it then hold it up over your head while you screech and scream. Then you slam it down on the floor, roll on top of it and yell, "goo goo gah GAH!!!" It is absolutely hilarious, and you did it all afternoon yesterday after Daddy left for work. I got down on the floor and played with you, and your belly laugh sounded through the whole house! I think you just might turn out to be one tough little ball player!
*You are standing up on your own now, and we are convinced you are going to start walking any second! You can stand up in the middle of the room by yourself and get back down to the ground without falling. We love watching you do this because you look like such a big boy!
*You are almost sleeping through the night again. We're on a bad cycle right now where you're up from 4 to 5, but then you sleep until about 8. I can't decide if I like that or not, because I do like sleeping in past 6...just not sure if the awake time from 4 to 5 is worth it! Your naps are fantastic now; there's one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and one of them is almost always at least 2 1/2 hours long. You even treated Mama to a three hour nap two days in a row this week! Woohoo!
*You are eating Gerber puffs like crazy. If we let you eat only those all day long, you totally would. You're still eating lots of veggies and fruits, and we've got you going on chicken and turkey and beef now too. We still let you have a little bedtime snack of oatmeal to fill that little tummy up before you go to sleep for the night. In addition to all the yummy food, you're still nursing like a champ. With all the grub you're getting, I'm surprised you're not more roly poly than you are! You must burn a lot of calories playing football and chasing Opie. =)
*Opie is one of your best buds. You like to scream at him, and you still think he's the funniest guy around. You're a big fan of Griffin and your Aunt Corndog's new puppy, Mimzy too, but Opie is your buddy. You love all kinds of animals. You've got a couple books with pictures of real animals in them, and you always flip to the page with the kitty and laugh and squeal when I say, "Meow, meow!"
*You love to sing and now you've even started dancing! Daddy and I laugh each time because you start dancing any time you hear music. Whether you're in your high chair, or standing in the living room, or digging for a toy in the den, your little head starts bobbing, and your knees start bouncing, and it makes me melt each time because it is just so stinking cute! You also LOVE to sing along with the radio in the car. If you aren't sleeping, about 15 minutes into a car ride, you are just about guaranteed to start singing at the top of your lungs. It is so funny; I laugh every time!
*You are completely in to cell phones and TV remotes. Anything fancy that has buttons or lights up trumps absolutely all of your toys. You will make a mad dash for my phone any time its within your reach, and you are always going for the clicker too. You keep Daddy and I on our toes! The only way I could get you to sit still for your 10 month pictures was to hand you my cell phone. =)
I love you so much, sweet boy! One of my favorite parts about being your mama is seeing that heart-melting smile you've got that just beams from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. You are just bursting with joy, and I am so blessed to have such a happy little boy! Your daddy and I love you forever and for always, and we are so grateful God brought you into our little family. We just wouldn't be the same without you, Sweet Bug!
Love love love,
Mama
PS- Can we get a round of applause for the mama today because she just got back from the dentist and has NO cavities! When I told the Hubs he said, "Wow. I don't know how that is even possible. You just eat so much sugar." Ba ha ha! I know how to rock a toothbrush, baby!
Wishing you all a happy and cavity-free Tuesday!
