10 Months and Cute As Ever!

Dearest Andrew,
Well, here we are at 10 months. I can’t believe we are already here! In just two short months you will be a year old. Mommy just cannot believe that!!! You are growing so fast! I spent some time the other day looking at all the pictures I have taken of you over the past 10 months and cannot believe how much you have changed! I love it though. You are so much fun right now. We play all the time and you love to laugh!

Today, however, was spent with Daddy. Normally Mimi is with you on Mondays, but since she was out of town, Daddy stayed home and watched you. What a treat for you! You ADORE your Daddy!!! I have a pretty good feeling Daddy is your best friend. Mommy premade all of your food for the day, and you and Daddy had a blast playing. Mommy was sleeping since I have to go to work tonight and had worked last night and I could hear you two every once in a while. I didn’t mind though. I love hearing my guys having so much fun together!

Okay, so over the past month quite a few things have changed. First of all, you started sleeping by yourself. Yes, Mommy and Daddy were a little late in the game, but we loved putting you to sleep. You cried only a couple of times and then got the hang of it. Mommy puts you down twice a day for a nap and at bedtime. You never complain! It’s amazing how good of a kid you are! I lay you down, you open your mouth for your pacifier and I turn on your overhead projector thing with music (it puts cute pictures on the ceiling) and you eventually go to sleep. We are on such a routine and I love it.

You have also started eating finger foods this month and even eat a little of what Mommy and Daddy eat if it is appropriate for you. It’s so much fun watching you try new things. You LOVE (I mean LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) Cheerios! That stuff is like baby candy. I love watching you feed yourself, also something that is very new. You have a new tooth, making seven total, and you use them to chew things like your Cheerios. You may be thinking, "Duh Mom, of course I used my teeth to chew!", but that is actually something you have to learn to do. You have been eating finger foods for a little while now by gumming them and only recently starting using your teeth. :)

I am sure there are other things that have happened and I will try to get them in your baby book. I have so much fun filling that in! I am just so glad you are in my life little man, the last ten months have truly been the best ever. You make every day wonderful, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I love you so very, very much!

Love,
Mommy

PS - This picture was once again taken on the day you turned a month older. This is you at 10 months old exactly! :)
