TEN months

This delightful little fella is ten months old.

He is happy as can be with his wide smile and red hair.  He loves his big brother and sister and they return the feelings.  The jury is still out on if he is a Mama's boy or Daddy's.  It's pretty fun and funny to see which one of us he prefers and when.  We love him so.

He really enjoys music class...and totally participates!  It's so funny and cute and Mrs. Carol LOVES it.

He doesn't really have any words, though he often lets out mamamamaaa...I think it's just a whine, but he uses it in the right context, so maybe I should claim it.  I think our first two said Dada as their first actual saying and knowing what they are talking about word.

Today, he was standing up while leaning on the table and he let go and stood on his own for about 1.7 seconds.  Ahhh! Then, five minutes later, he stood on his own in the middle of the floor, after leaning on his Daddy for a bit.  So big!!

He likes to eat and cannot get food quickly enough.  He wants to be where the action is and will look around, searching for the big kids if they are not in the room with him.  At night he has to have some time with them or he will not be happy about going to bed.  I was watching him enjoy them today and felt a little sorry for my oldest-how bored he must have been with just me all the day. ;)
