Caleb Benjamen you are 10 months old. You have changed our life so much in these past 10 months, we don't know what we would do without you sweet boy.
At 10 months
You can...
**scoot around all over the place on your bottom. Seriously this is hilarious and any attempt we make at putting you on your hands and knees to crawl, you immediately push your little self right onto your bottom and scoot away. You are starting to get pretty fast too....
**pull to stand, but you don't always do this. You like to pull up half way so that you have one leg bent and are on your knee and the other one is propped out like you are going to stand at any moment and then never do. But, you are content playing like that....
**hold your own bottle now. And drink out of a sippy cup. We didn't know you could do this until a few days ago when I handed you a cup to drink at dinner time and you tilted it up and sucked down your juice. It was so funny!
**eat mostly table food now. Anything you can pick up to feed yourself is better than baby food and man can you eat!!!!
You LOVE
**your blankie. Oh man, as soon as you see that thing laying on the floor (or anywhere else really) you will scoot over to it grab it and immediately do a face plant right into it. Sometimes we will even hear you say "awwwww!!"
**to eat. anything really. The only food we have found you don't really care for is mac and cheese. Which is a bummer because this is your brothers favorite thing so we have it a lot.
**to talk. You just got tubes put in your ears a few days ago, and even though you were babbling before, you are talking up a storm these days repeating most anything we say. Well trying to at least. The words we have heard you say and you know what they mean are "dada", "mama", "more", and "bubba" (for brother).
**your brother. You think he is so funny. Except for the times he annoys you, and then you have a high pitch scream to let us all know you are annoyed.
**to try and make us all laugh. You make silly faces or will just laugh out of the blue at anything or, well, nothing. It's so funny.
**to play patty cake. Especially with your brother.
you really DISLIKE
**not getting to take your naps. You love your naps, but especially in your bed.
**any kind of food that has a weird texture, like rice or mac n cheese.
There really isn't much you don't like, you are a pretty happy baby.
you are starting to like:
**stuffed animals. You will kiss them if we say, "aww, give it a kiss"
**cars. You are starting to move them around on the floor like big brother does and want to play with all of them...even brother's hot wheels cars that you know you are not supposed to touch.
Your schedule is really pretty predictable now too. Which makes life really easy for mom and dad and brother. You get 2 naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon the same time brother does. You get 3 bottles a day, about 6-8oz each. And you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with us, with mostly table food.
You have 6 teeth, weigh just about 19lbs, and your eyes are still sooooooo blue. We always say how we could just stare at them all day and get lost.
We love you so much Dubs. And can't wait to see how much you grow in the next 2 months. Love you buddy!
