10 months old today!

Today our little Blake is 10 months old. Hard to believe that he can be that old already. This has been the fastest year of my life. My mom always told me that the older you get, the faster time goes and I didn’t believe it…but I do now! I just want to turn back the clocks!

Blake is now….
-Weighing in at a whopping 19.6 pounds (right at the 50th percentile)
-measuring 29.5 inches in length (75th percentile!...tall boy)
-measuring a head circumference of … well I forgot….but doc said that was in the 50th percentile too…so I guess he has a perfect round little melon!
-crawling EVERYWHERE! He is fast…into everything…will be down the hall and into his own room before I can even turn around!
-having no prob. going from hands and knees to sitting position
-eating some real food! He can munch on some crackers and hard bread. He has tried chicken and seemed to like that. Didn’t really care for mashed potatoes or squash…but we will keep trying!
-pulling himself up to kneeling to get into toy boxes, laundry baskets, etc….not quite standing yet, but will be SOON!
-laughing, clapping, giggling a lot
-starting to get shy around strangers….typically loves everyone…but every once in awhile wants mama, dada, or Aunt Mary
-reverted to NOT sleeping through the night….SAD….he is up now at about 4 for a bottle…but back down until 6:30 or so….I guess our luck ran out!
-STILL looking like he will pop a tooth ANY day...but nothing yet!

He is the bestest kid around and we just love him SOO much!
rub-a-dub-dub...having fun in the tub!
LOVES the bath...
Splashes and splashes....
SOOOO fun :)
