Well here we are folks...two months until his first birthday! 

I had no idea it would go this fast. He is turning into such an adorable little boy and he melts my heart over and over. 

It felt like he REALLY grew up this month. We had some MAJOR milestones occur and his personality is coming out more and more. 

ten month stats:

weight: 28lbs!!! {Kaylee is 31}

height: TALL:) 

eating: 3 meals a day with bottles in between still

clothes: some 18 months....mostly 24 months...some 2T 

diapers: size 5

Like I said before, the list of milestones was a big one this month! He took his first steps!! He has been practicing regularly by pushing his standing toy and the dining room chairs all over the house. Then one day Isaiah and I did the I-stand-here-you-stand-there thing and he took about three steps independently back and forth between us. He is so different from Kaylee. Instead of holding my hands he wants to hold onto my legs and push me. 

He also got his first tooth!!

It was great and horrible at the same time. The tooth was stubborn and waited until we were on vacation to make its appearance which meant a cranky baby and sleepless nights. He has three more about to break through any day now. Two on top and one more on bottom!

He has also begun the screaming stage. Oh how fun you say.....NOT!! Again he decided to start this on vacation which ended with me hanging out in the van with a baby while everyone else finished up at the Mexican restaurant. He wants to communicate so bad and screaming seems to be working for him. Not good!! So we have started teaching him some baby sign language. So far he signs quiet, all done, and more but those signs are hit or miss and most of the time he will just scream really loud over and over until I figure out what he wants. I'm keeping at it so hopefully next month I will report some good news on the sign language front.
