Happy 10 Months!

Are we really here? 10 months?! Like two months before you're ONE WHOLE YEAR? Say it isn't so.


These days you are....

• Opening and closing doors like crazy. Still love to pull everything down and out from shelves and any surface you can reach :) We STILL don't have the other cabinet doors child proofed - just the ones with the cleaning products. Good thing because....
• Can you PLEASE stop putting everything in your mouth? You are SO fast - I can see what is about to happen but can't get to you fast enough to stop it! You now THROW your pacifier when you see something you would rather have. So much for that being a cork! So far you have had the following things in your mouth:

• dust bunnies from the broom (you actually pulled them off and put them in your mouth)
• grass - Duh
• a dead bug :(
• restaurant table
• the shopping cart handle
• Brinkley's tail
• my big toe
• my small toe
• the nose bulb. you know, the one that we use to suck snot out of you.
• magazines that you ripped to shreds
• threads (these make you throw up every time)
• Shelby's dried up old poop - BREAK. MY. HEART. I really tried to figure out how to wash your mouth out w/o killing you. I settled for refusing to kiss you for one whole hour. It was tough.
• last but not least, you dig in the trash. And then put the stuff in your mouth?! The dogs don't even do that! We need to child proof stat!

• You look like you are thinning out a bit and sometimes I look at you not believing that you look like A REAL BOY. Straight up Pinocchio-style.
• For the first time in months, I feel like you have a real sleep routine. Sleeping through the night for the past 1 1/2 weeks, weening off that 3rd nap successfully and solid 1.5 to 2 hour naps for the other two. I'm IN LOVE!
• Your first tooth is showing more and more every day - you are SO cute. I have no idea if any others are coming through since I thought your first tooth was coming in 6 months ago. On the top. What do I know.
• You eat puffs now. Like you feed them to yourself. It's extremely cute to watch you gum them around. :)
• You LOVE the water! Mainly the water in the toilet and the dog bowls but your baths and the pool too! We are going to have a fun summer! :)
• You are still laughing and smiling all the time - we are so lucky. :) I just adore you and am having so much fun staying home with you. Beautiful, healthy, happy boy - oral fixation = Perfect! So, let's work on cutting that out, k?!

Leaving you with my most recent iPhone pics... :)

Standing in your first pair of REAL shoes that Mimi got you!

You look so grown up here!

Tuckered out after our day at Dallas Blooms

Matching shirts with Dada (believe it or not, total coincidence)

It was a tough road shaking that 3rd nap!

You tend to fall asleep Freeze-Frame style - so funny!

Melt. My. Heart!!
