10 months

Today we celebrate 10 months in the life of Owen! In two short months, we'll be celebrating his 1st birthday. I can't believe it!

His stats (by my calculations):
Height: 28.5 inches
Weight: 20.8 pounds

At 10 months, he:

-is crawling all over the house. It is still on his stomach but he is fast! He is obsessed with finding power cords and the fireplace. He like to lick the tile hearth and beat on the glass of the gas logs. We are desperately trying to break the habit before winter comes and the gas logs are actually on.
-is sleeping 10 hours at night, taking 2 2-hour naps.
-is nursing 4x a day
-drinks water out of a sippy cup
-is eating more foods with his fingers. His favorite are Cheerios.
-is eating new foods this month: chicken, pork, pineapple, blackbeans, cheeries, cheese, potatoes, and rice.
-babbles up a storm (I wish we knew what he was saying!)
-waves bye-bye. We are working on the baby signs for all done and more but he hasn't shown them back.
-flirts with everyone we come in contact with in the grocery store
-is chewing on everything. We are now up to 4 teeth. 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.
-loves to play peek-a-boo and banging things on the hardwood floors.
-loves books and being read to.
-loves to play in the bathtub and roll over while you are trying to change his diaper.
-is having mild separation anxiety when we leave him at church.

I'm sure there is more but I can't think of them right now.
