My boy is 10 months old!

Happy 10 Months Sweet Boy!



He makes me so happy! He has the most infectious, sweet, hardy laugh - I love it!
At 10 months William is:

*Laughing constantly--especially with/at his sister.
* Constantly babbling--mamama, gagaga...
* Prefers me. When daddy takes him, he turns to me and holds on tighter. (Sorry daddy!)
* Loves to snuggle when I nurse him during the night
* Is becoming quite proficient at army crawling. He's fast and definitely gets where he wants
to go. I never had to chase Ella, but I definitely have to chase after him!
* Loves to chase after Ella and be wherever she is, playing with whatever she's playing with.
* Likes to crawl into strange places, such as underneath his exersaucer, under the table,
under the train table.
* Will grab anything put in front of him.
* Still would rather chew the books and flip pages himself than be read to. :/
* Eats finger foods, but still occasionally coughs on it and acts generally disgusted with it.
* Has in the past month become much pickier in what he eats.
* Loves to spray his food out of his mouth.
* Drinks from both a straw cup and sippy cup really well, and has for at least two months or so.
* Sleeps about 11 hours at night, typically 7:30pm-6:30am
* Loves to sleep on his tummy, and especially bury his face in the mattress.
* Naps usually 1-1 1/2 hrs in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon.
* Still nurses, but is now supplementing with some formula and takes it without any problems.
* Motorboats all the time. At the dinner table, in church, everywhere.
* Loves baths. He's always enjoyed the water and splashing around.
* Is very even tempered. Nothing much seems to bother him. Ella will splash him in the bath and
get water in his eyes, but it doesn't bother him. (It bothers Ella when it happens to her
though!)
* Has five teeth that are poked through his gums (two on the top, three on the bottom), with a
sixth tooth pushing through on the top.
* Makes friends wherever we go. A very friendly man at Applebee's a few weeks ago talked to
him almost through our entire meal. He even got a kiss on the head from the stranger!
* Loves people watching.
* Has been doing this cute little thing with his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth all the time!
* Has such a sweet little personality.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but this basically sums up William at 10 months old. He is (and Ella is) the light of my life!
