Happy 10 month birthday, lil man

Phew, what a busy month! I'm so late getting this update posted. I ruined the little "10 month" sticker we use on his onesie for his monthly picture update, so I had to do without one this month.

10 month stats:

weight: 19 lbs 10 oz
height: 28.5 inches
clothing: 12-18 month tops and 12 months pants/shorts.

The biggest news this month is that Parker's first tooth arrived just 3 days before he turned 10 months! It's barely above the gum line and after a week or so I was finally able to get a picture. You can even see in the picture a little blister where his 2nd tooth is close to coming.



Parker...

-is finally starting to eat more food. He loves to eat, Cheerios with milk, sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, daddy's banana/strawberry smoothie, chicken, and Gerber snack puffs.
-loves the vacuum cleaner. From the moment the vacuum turns on he is attaching himself to it.





-loves swimming in the pool. Actually, he loves water of any kind.
-loved the fireworks on the 4th of July.
-loves to talk to daddy on the speakerphone on daddy's lunch break.
-will no longer sit still or quiet in the movie theater.




Parker is very close to walking on his own. I'm still in no hurry for this, but it won't be much longer.


We are teaching Parker sign language. He hasn't done them back to us yet, but he is responding to certain signs.

mommy: he looks or crawls to me.
daddy: he looks or crawls to daddy.
cat: he looks or crawls to the cat.
drink: he will pick up his sippy cup.
eat: he will open his mouth for a bite of food.



We are also teaching him, all done, more, please, thank you, tiger, fan, light, spider, sun, ball and car.

I've completed another part of his birthday party, the invites!



I love this little guy so much! I love how stubborn he is. I love how determined he is. I love when he snuggles me and kisses me. I love everything about him. Everyday he is in my life is such an amazing blessing.



Happy 10 months my little prince.
