Crazy For You

The Essence of 7pm:
  1. Kid running around like a wild bangi in the background, due to post-dinner energy rush.
  2. Other kid getting wrestled with, or "hung". Sock missing, leggies (they're BOY leg warmers, okay?) rolled down due to natural gravity of thigh "health" (fat).
  3. Mommy looks as if she's slightly loosing it. Wedding ring is off and sleeves are rolled up as a result of cooking, cleaning, and washing. Make up never had a chance today.
  4. Husband just wants to sit and chat, but bath duties await.

Wouldn't change it for the world (ooh, except possibly add a few more...)

Double Digits

Yikes, my boy, you're ten months old! Where did the time go? Even though I have each month documented in such detail, I still am amazed at how fast it's gone.

What more? I'm amazed at you! You are so coordinated, it's incredible.
-clapping in your chubby glory-
What's new this month?
*You can throw a ball. Not just throw, chuck, and it's always with your right hand.
*You "drive" cars. This is crazy to watch as you seem to little to get the concept, but you do!
*You can drink out of a sippy. If the spout is the wrong way, you have the know-how to turn it around and drink from it properly (weird!)
*You purposely blow bubbles in the bath. you know how to hold your head so that you don't get water up your nose... it took two years for your brother to do that!
*New words: Carter (Darder), Ball, Book
*Pulling up, but taking your time in cruising. You are very much like your brother in the mobile department. Neither of you seemed to be in a hurry to move!
*Your separation anxiety has left the building. Such a quick brush with it. You're a gem.
*I got a sling that keeps you close to my chest and you love love love the closeness. If Daddy is wearing you or if Mommy is wearing you, you snuggle and kiss. It's adorable and it's been so perfect for all of the nature walks and exploring we do.
I can't believe how easy you continue to be. You are rarely ever fussy. Even when ready for a nap, you will play by yourself until I come get to you. Your solo time is up to 25 minutes. What a joy to be your Mommy. Strangers can hold you without you getting upset. You have been doing great when we leave you overnight at Gigi and Papa's... and you still continue to sleep 12-13 hrs at night with an average of 3 hrs in the day. Can a baby get any easier? :-)

Love you Huckleberry!
