Hi Henry!
Today is your 10 month birthday! That means you will be one years old in just a short 2 months. Wow! Your next steps are just around the corner and that gets me all sentimental! You are my sweet last baby... and you are growing up so fast! You are still in the baby room in the nursery at church so that makes me happy! I know they are going to bump you up any day now since you are pulling up on everything and are very self entertaining! I went to nurse you in between services yesterday and all of the women in there were commenting about what a happy baby you are!
One of my favorite things about you is how you kick your legs and gasp/giggle every time I walk into the room. Ohhhh may I never forget how excited you get to see me even if it has just been 5 minutes since I last saw you! That warms this mama's heart!
You have such a contagious little laugh. You grin from ear to ear and are so content with life most of the time. When you are fussy I almost always know what is wrong because you are quite easy to read. You try to keep up with your siblings and get frustrated when they run away from you because you can only crawl so fast!
Speaking of crawling so fast... you really are quite speedy now! You pull up on everything and your balance is soooo good. You even tried to stand this morning on your own a few times. You only last a few seconds here and there! I pretty much want to just push you over so you won't try and walk on me. My last baby needs to stay a baby a little while longer!!
You eat everything in sight and are very good at self feeding! Your favorite foods are bananas, oatmeal, yogurt, watermelon, toast, macaroni and cheese, blueberries, black beans, and you pretty much love whatever is on mama's plate!
You love to play peek a boo and clap your hands with a huge grin on your face! You say "Da Da Da" and love to bang things together. Emptying the silverware out of the dishwasher is one of your favorite games, and you love to be tickled and kissed! You are quite the cuddly one, and I love your deliciously chunky thighs and feet/toes!!
I LOVE how you just take in everything from the world around you with great fascination. You especially love to explore! It's been very difficult to keep you out of the dog food and dog water. I gave up this morning and just let you splash around in the dog water because it was making you so happy. You made a huge mess and had a ton of fun. :-)
I took you in for your 9 month check up recently and you were 20 lbs! You are still in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. You still have 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom!
I love you so much baby boy. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful son. You are the easiest most happy go lucky baby and are just such a joy and a delight. I love watching you grow!!! Happy 10th month of life, sweet boy!
XO, Mama
