10 Months - Where does the time go?

How fast does the time go? Let me just tell you that Gavin sleeping the day away in my arms as a newborn feels like yesterday! And now, the only time I can convince him to snuggle is when he is dead tired at the end of the night. Sometimes we're even lucky enough for him to fall asleep in our arms! 

At 10 months, we have definitely hit the "mobile" mark of his life. Neither of us can turn our heads, or he is GONE, pulling everything off the shelves in the pantry, throwing DVDs across the room, or grabbing the toilet paper roll off in the bathrooms. There is never a dull moment around this house, that's for sure, but we love our little crawler / furniture surfer. 

As far as any other milestones we've hit, he's mastered a few words "Mama" "Dada" and "Hi." We've been working really hard on some baby sign language, which usually turns into him screaming at me for more food instead of "signing!" Haha. And we've switched mostly to table food, but there are some days where I just can't get this kid to eat any vegetables, so I switch back to 'Ol Trusty, baby food. We've started Mother's Day Out, and he does so great, besides the crying part? Have I mentioned the crying part? The part where I hand him to his teacher and he immediately turns into the saddest most devastated child you could ever imagine and balls his eyes out while I walk away...? Not to mention the fact that he has now developed a sense for "Stranger Danger" with pretty much everyone but Eric and I. I know that this phase is part of being a baby and learning to let your child understand you WILL be back, but this part sucks so bad. Disclaimer: Please don't get your feeling hurt if he doesn't want you to hold him bc now he's always worried Im going to leave! Poor guy...

Happy Boy playing with my fall decorations

"I can stand on my own if I want to!"

He cracks himself up

"What is this thing anyway? It needs to go!" 

"See ya 10 months...Im moving onto 11"

Happy 10 months sweet boy! Keep becoming the amazing YOU that YOU are! Your Daddy and I are amazed every day that we get to learn more about who you are becoming. And we think you are perfect and would NEVER want you to be anything else!
