10 Months Old

Since we didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, the weight and height stats are an unknown at this point. He definitely feels heavier to us - so perhaps the advice we've taken from the doctor is working.

The Dude is more mobile than ever. He pulls himself to his feet whenever, however. And like the photo below, he often times will balance himself to stand on his own...


He crawls with lightening speed (especially towards that doggie door) and can get to something that he wants in nano seconds... which almost always happens to be something he shouldn't have - like power cords and the stereo.

The latest mobility development is doing a sort of bear walk when we put him in the grass...



He's added actual words to his constant ramblings - well, what we consider to be words anyways. He says:

-ball (bah)
-bye
-more (muh)
-Ma Ma (which may also mean "more", he only says it at eating time)
-book (buk)

He LOVES any kind of ball-like object ("Bah!"), being chased by mamma and papa then tickled endlessly, animals (he points at them and says "Oooooooh!"), eating and any thing that is on the floor, the tinier the better, that he can put into his mouth.

Oh, and he also LOVES the vacuum cleaner. We mean L-O-V-E-S. As soon as we pull it out of it's "house" he starts to point at it and say "Oooooh!" very excitedly...

All the toys in the house, and his favorite thing is the Bissel.
Go figure.
