10 months old

Daddy is a wimp. He always says I hurt him when I hit him. I’m not that big so it can’t hurt too bad. Besides I aim for soft parts like his legs and his nose. I like to hit. It’s how I figure out how far things are from me. My eyes are not always great yet.

I am getting to be such a BIG boy! Daddy says that I am bigger than Cedes and Bubba were at my age. I can almost walk already. I can stand on my own all by myself and I can almost take a step. I am SO cool! I figure I will be running after Bubba and Cedes before my birthday.

Speed Demon

I can crawl REALLY fast! I was chasing Daddy this morning and I almost had him. Then when Mommy came to pick me up I crawled to her (really REALLY fast). I can also stand up by myself. I want to be able to walk like the big kids. Mason gets to play and run around with all of the girls and I want to do that too.

I am eating a lot now too. I like to eat cereal a lot. I also get to eat finger foods now. I eat a lot. Not so into the milk anymore, though its nice when I want to go to sleep.

I talk a lot too. Everyone acts like they don't understand me, but they smile a lot and talk gibberish to me, so I must be doing something right. I can yell really loud too. That doesn't always get me attention though.

Lots of teeth

I didn’t feel good all last week. I was coughing and I couldn’t sleep and my ears hurt. Daddy came last Thursday and got me from Ms. Shannon and took me to the doctor. They didn’t poke me this time, which I really liked. They looked in my ears though and said I had an ear infection in both ears. I don’t know why an ear infection decided to move in there, I guess the cost of housing around here is too much for it. Anyways, I got some medicine that is supposed to make me feel all better. And you know what, it does. I even started smiling again this weekend. I can also pull myself up and sometimes I even let go. The bad part about letting go is that I fall. It usually doesn’t hurt, but then I have to start all over.
Oh the doctor person did say that if I get another ear infection before my birthday I will probably have to have tubes like Bubba and Sissy. That doesn’t sound like a lot of fun to me.
I am now really good at crawling. I crawl really fast and I chase down people so I can pull myself up their leg. That’s my way of telling them that I want to be picked up. And I eat really good too. I like to have a bowl of cereal (mixed with fruit juice) and a container of baby food (fruit) when I get home. I also get fruit and cereal for breakfast and real food for lunch. Well, real baby food anyway! I like to eat!
I have decided that I like to take baths in the bathtub. I can crawl around and splash the water. That’s a lot of fun. I don’t like it when I fall though. My face gets wet and there is water up my nose and that isn’t fun at all.

I'm movin' on up

I can crawl! Really, I can. I lose my balance sometimes, but if I see something I want I can get to it. I can roll over too. That scares Mommy and Daddy sometimes, but I don’t like lying on my back. I am a big boy and I want to sleep on my tummy. I can almost see my two new toofers too. I’m glad they are in because they REALLY hurt. I’ve tried biting Mommy with them, but she doesn’t like that very much. I can use them to eat the spoon when someone feeds me though. That’s kind of fun. I like to eat, especially yummy stuff like peach cobber (Gerber’s, 2nd stage).

Christmas

I got to tear wrapping paper and chew on bows. It was so fun! Oh and I got some toys too, but Bubba plays with them more than I do.

My top teeth are coming in. They hurt though. Ouch! I can bite real good now though!

I'm crawling - kind of

I’m getting to be such a big boy. I eat three meals a day now of real food. I usually have ceral and fruit in the morning, then something yummy for lunch, and then more fruit for dinner. It’s not a bad deal. I’m getting away from drinking a bottle all of the time, too. Pretty soon I will be a big boy like Bubba. I can already hold my own bottle.

I can almost crawl too. I don’t always like being put down on the floor, but maybe, if I learn to crawl, I can move over to where someone will pick me up. That would be a good reason to learn to crawl, I think.

Hi again

OK, there is ANOTHER new person I am hanging out with all day. In fact, there are two, plus all of these other little people along with Mason running around and being noisy. Why can’t they just hold me like Ms Kim did. They expect me to crawl and stuff. Jeez, if I wanted to do that, I would. I just want to be held. And what’s up with the solid food? Not that I really mind, but that’s a bit of a surprise. I do like the toys and having soft people to hold me. I am not sure I care to take a nap every day, but I don’t think I can get out of that. I suppose I will make the best of it.

I had to go get another shot. I really think they don’t like me. I get shots all the time, and they HURT. Mommy says I don’t have to have any more for a while, but I don’t know if she’s telling the truth. I think she should have to get shots every time I have too. That’s fair, don’t you think? Or they can give her my shots so I don’t have to have them at all. That’s even better.
