10 months old... how can that be?!  You are a busy little man... constantly on the go! The day you turned 9 months you crawled, the next week you pulled up, now you cruise, you clap, you wave, you babble, you dance, you shake your head no.  Your wave is a double wave, both hands, your clap is loud and accompanied with the biggest gummy grin, you have moves and you dance & rock back and forth, side to side. You like to get up on your knees and bounce up and down with a clap or two.  You can do any of the above on que and are starting to understand. Some days I come home and you showcase all of your waves, claps, dances and head nods in about 5 seconds, your just so proud of yourself. You are still shy with strangers but warm up quickly and are a total mama's boy! You love your daddy and show it when he enters the room but if you hear my voice you let it be known that you just want your momma.
Unfortunately, you spent the majority of this month sick for the first time, started as a cold turned into an ear infection and then sinus infection all while teething so you got your first 2 TEETH!  2 cute little pearly whites on the bottom.  Despite all of the sickness and teething you are as happy as can be and are just a little HAM.  During the day Lo says you love to look out the window and watch the kids play in the schoolyard across the street, often waving from them from inside your room.  You still love being outside and taking walks to the park or with mama.  You love to go anywhere and "ham" it up every chance you get.  You love to give big open mouth kisses and you are quite the ladies man stealing kisses from both Kaia (6 weeks older) & Elsie (6 months older).    Still no words (unlike your one time "mama") but tons of babble and squeals!  You like to imitate "what does the seminole say" and babble to make any sound you can.  
This has been such a fun month baby boy and once again words cannot describe the incredible amount of love your daddy and I have for you.  My heart skips a beat every time I see you and nothing brings more joy to my heart than seeing you grow and learn every second of the day!  
I love you so much punkin!

Sweet baby H! That is exactly what you are....sweet and completely edible!  You really love those who are close to you and show it. I love how your shy with strangers but warm up so quickly and your new found wave is the cutest darn thing in the world! Used to be a flap but now it's a full on pageant wave that you will give after about 5 seconds of meeting someone new!  You get excited when mama, dada or lo lo walks into the room and it's the best feeling in the world when I come home from work and you are ecstatic to see me.  hate to say it but your a momma's boy!  I can't turn away from you to even put away a piece of laundry without you freaking out.  You hate when someone is looking at you and you will turn your head so you are in front of their face to get their attention.  You are funny.  Dr. j thinks your a riot and is also so impressed with your growth and health! You are perfect and healthy as can be, still growing off the charts but have slowed down a bit.  You got a finger prick and didn't even flinch however wasn't a fan of your shot :(  You are still going to be our football player.  I've yet to met anyone who doesn't say "wow, he's a healthy one" when they ask your age. We love it and boy do we love you, all 25 lbs of you.  You love to read and will sit for hours and hours listening to "brown bear brown bear."  We are attendin gymboree every week and you are the biggest ham, the second we can walk in miss molly or miss caitlin love to see you in their class.  You love bubbles and get super excited when they come out.  Still no teeth but your smile is so big you showcase the cutest gums, scrunch your nose and breathe in and out loud enough to make you laugh.  You will start a game of peek a boo with anyone and anything, even lo lo's dog bryant!  Bryant, your best fur friend and you have a mutual love for each other! You can grab pull and smack that dog and he won't budge and he just loves to lick your hands and face! When you eat your meals it's impossible to feed you because you are slouched over just making sure the dogs are still there.  You can't feed yourself real great but that may be another reason why you are the dogs best friend right now, they have a new found love for puffs. You love puffs, yogurt melts, banana, watermelon.  Dr. J said to bring on the other solids and get you off of baby food so get ready for some fun.  You are rolling eveyrwhere and my next post will be how you crawled on the day your turned 9 months! You've been rocking for a few weeks now but bam... now you're crawling. You are so proud of yourself and show it.  Still not the best self soother but the second we faturn you towards the window and start rocking you fall fast asleep. You HATE your CRIB.  We moved into a new house the beginning of july and it's so close to the bay, we walk to the park and the pier almost every day and you love being outside.  We put you in a swing for the 1st time, pics are priceless to say the least.  You are enthralled with watching the seagulls over the water.  You love going to the pool, heck you love going anywhere!
This has been such a huge month for you and I know I'm probably forgetting almost half of the things you did but it's been an amazing one. You're so much fun and I feel my love for you growing stronger by the millisecond if it's even possible to love you anymore than I do. I was in the grocery store after work one day and saw a little baby boy with his mama and couldn't wait to get the heck out of there so I could rush home to see your little face. 
love you so.so.so much
mama
