You are 10 months old! You constantly keep me on my toes and I love every minute of it (except the minutes in the middle of the night when you have decided not to sleep). You are eating really well, now, even though you only have two teeth and they aren't even in all the way, yet. Your favorite things to eat are yogurt puffs, cheerios, and freeze dried apples. You can talk! You call me "Mama," and Maida "Abba." You can also say Barkley! ("Baba"), baby ("baby"), hi (hiii-eeeeeee"), Bumpa ("Bummba"), and "booooom" when you hit your head or drop your water off of your highchair. You sign "all done" when you are done eating. You crawl like a maniac, but have no interest in walking, even though you've taken a few steps here and there and walk around furniture like no body's business. You love Sunday School and can say, "Bubba," which is your teacher's name. You love to read books and point to things that you are "reading" about. You have a little temper and will yell and scream when you get mad. You really hate getting your diaper changed and it usually takes two of us to get it accomplished. You also hate getting dressed and usually run around with no pants on because it's not worth the fight. You love your "piggies" and get so excited when I take your socks off. Your all-time favorite activity is throwing a ball (or anything, for that matter) around the room and then chase it and do it all over again. Your skin has slowly been improving, but now that the cold weather is here, we're having a harder time keeping those cheeks moisturized and free of eczema. You are still nursing (and I'm fearing that you'll never give it up!) about five to six times a day, but we're trying to cut back to three or four. As previously mentioned, you love to wake up at night and we (me and you) lately average about four hours of sleep a night (which are not consecutive, either). You smile at everyone and anyone. You have a trademark nose, that everyone comments on, which is where you scrunch up your nose when you smile.
I've probably left off numerous things that makes your 10th month so special, but hopefully those things have been documented or will be documented through other posts. We love you SO MUCH, Skogen, and wouldn't trade you for the world.
