JT - 10 months

Brudder (as Bella calls him) is 10 months old, y'all! Well, 10.5 now - but i'm in denial. So i'm saying 10 months.

This little cutie is still so happy.  One of my favorite times is coming into a room that he is in and he breaks into a smile.  He is definitely a momma's-boy!

On that same note, he is starting to get a little personality - with a capitol "P".  I'll walk out of a room he revolts by yelling and screaming and crawling over to where I went. It's cute and funny at the same time.  He is also getting an attitude.  We'll take something away from him that he doesn't need to have - and he throws a fit - like a "cry-really-hard-on-the-floor-with-your-head-down" cry.

He is now pulling up on everything and has started to let go. What? I don't remember Bella doing that this early. But JT sees his sister doing that so i'm sure he's ready to run.

He likes to click his tongue and smack his lips.  He is very proud of himself when he does that too!

He is so quick, y'all.  He might not be walking yet but he is crawling fast enough it seems like he's walking.  We are in trouble for sure!

He likes to "chase" his sister.  Bella will run around the room and he tries so hard to get to her.  This usually looks like him darting back and forth and then laughing. It's so cute.   Some of those times in the evening are my favorites - both kids laughing at eachother!  They also argue (already?) - but the laughing times make up for it.

He has found the tupperware stash.  What is it about lids and containers that kids love? 

Notice his outfit? Little Sunday Morning stud-muffin!

He is 24 pounds and 31 inches - translated as "big boy!".  I took him to the grocery store the other day and two women had a "moment" very loudly and let me know how big he was.  Yes I know he is bigger than your two year old...

If the door is open he is looking outside.  He likes to makes noises at the birds and squirrels that play in our courtyard.

He is saying 'da da' and 'da da' and 'da da' and 'ba' and 'da da'.  Don't worry. We're working on 'I love mommy!'.

He has six teeth and I think he's working on another one.  He loves to bite - everyone - and everything.

He likes to suck on (and kindof eat) apples and oranges.  We're still working on solids - which is not going too well. Oh well. I don't think he's hurting for nourishment. ha!

JT, you are a joy!
