ten months!

oh, they just keep growing.

jobot hit the ten month mark this past week. ten months! where has the time gone?

he is quite the boy. at his doctor appointment a couple of weeks ago he weighed 25 pounds, 12 ounces and was 31.25 inches - off the charts for both height and weight (he's always been off the charts for height, but this was the first time he was off the charts for weight too!). he is wearing size 18 - 24 month clothes. this would all explain why i actually seem to have size-able biceps for the first time in my life. seriously.

he is starting to talk. he appropriately says "all done", "uh oh", "banana", "mama", and "dada". he waves and claps. he is working on his fourth tooth. he cruises on the furniture and stands on his own. he is getting very close to walking! he likes to bang things on the coffee table. he is mischievous...he knows he is not supposed to bang on our glass cabinet, but he crawls right over with a toy, looks at me with a giggle, and bangs it on the glass. i say, "no no", and move him to the other room and he thinks it's a game and goes right back to the cabinet. whew...keeps me busy!

he is napping much more reliably these days. one good nap a day...usually in the morning, but sometimes he takes an afternoon nap too.

he is such a joyful and happy baby and fills our home with so much joy. i love having a son...so different than having a daughter. i love having a girl, but there's just something special between a boy and his mama. and wow, he is just so cute.
