10 months...

Who wouldn't be happy seeing this face every day for the last 10 months.

All of a sudden he's gotten so big!! In size, but also in his abilities. It's true he learned to crawl before he could sit, but he has mastered sitting (even on his own). This means we were able to move him to his bath seat instead of the infant bath. He loves it and kicks his legs and gets a huge grin on his face when he hears us turn the water on. He zooms around crawling. His favorite room to "run" to is the bathroom. He sits at the base of the tub waiting, I think, for us to turn the water on for a bath. Just this week he held the bottle to feed himself. He fed himself for a while on the floor, but then I picked him up to hold him. I don't know why, but I like someone to be holding him when he's eating. Maybe it's my guilty conscience of not being able to nurse him. He's never liked to eat anything but his bottle. He refuses to eat baby food. We've been introducing "big people food" and he loves eating now. We had stroganoff last night and he ate more than ever. It was exciting. Maybe that's why he's gotten so big. He can also now pull himself up to standing. He's trying to take steps along the couch, but has yet to do it. And he now has 2 1/2 teeth. So darling! He is an absolute JOY!! You really can't help but be happy when he's around.
