10 Months Old!

Happy 10 Months to my baby boy!

I can NOT believe he is almost a year old! It's just unbelievable how fast it's gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was looking at my newborn and now I hardly remember what that's like! ahhaha! Soon enough I'll be getting a taste of that again.

At 10 Months:

-Tate is almost walking. He transfers back and forth between objects easily but doesn't have the confidence yet to go for it. He walks easily with his walker and has a lot of control.

-He is getting so heavy! It is really hard for me to carry him now. Especially putting him in the carseat.

-He still absolutely loves to be outside.

-He loves horses and has already gone for a ride with his Papa.

-He only wants big kid food! If he sees anyone else eating he will throw a fit if he can't have it. He isn't picky at all.

-He has 2 bottom teeth and his front 2 top teeth.

-He's still wearing between 12-18 month clothing. I think he might be slowing down on the growth spurt.

-He loves to horse around. He's a rough and tumble little boy.

-He likes to go to mother's day out to see his friends. He's pretty social and I love that he has time with kids his age (plus, it gives me a little breather and time to get stuff done :)

-He sleeps from about 8-6...ugh, I hate the early mornings but usually he does pretty good until about 8 or 9 and then it's definitely nap time.

-He takes about 2 naps a day, one at 8/9 am (2 hours after he wakes up) and then in the afternoon around 2/3 pm. Sometimes he sleeps for 30 minutes and other times he sleeps for close to 2 hours! You just never know with this kid.

-He gets about 3/4 bottles a day.

-He doesn't like being in the carseat. This worries me for the big trip we have planned for Christmas to Ruidoso. :-\ hopefully, he will surprise us and sleep or be happy the whole way there...happy thoughts haha

-He LOVED Thanksgiving! He ate lots and lots of food and was pampered and spoiled by the whole family. Who wouldn't love that?! haha

-He likes to unroll toilet paper and to open and close doors.

-He actually has gotten really good at petting and being soft with animals.

He's beautiful! Those eyes will melt you in an instant. I'm so lucky to be his mommy. I feel so blessed to have this experience and watch him grow and develop into the little boy he's becoming. Each day I think about what he'll be like when he gets older and what he'll be interested in. I'm so excited to see how he'll be with his new brother/sister in about 6 months :-) I love him so very much. Sometimes when he's a grouch or he's been fussy all day I get really frustrated but everything is so worthwhile. The sound of his laughter is the best sound in the whole entire world! I couldn't love him more! I'm so blessed! Happy 10 months old, baby boy!
