How is it possible that my sweet boy is a few months away from his 1st birthday? He is growing and changing everyday. Little by little, my baby boy is disappearing before my eyes. It is very sad, and I am not ready for all these big changes.
Here's what's new with our sweet boy:
*Caleb is standing! He will pull up to hold onto something, and then let go and stand unsupported for about 5-10 seconds. If you stand him up in the middle of the room and let go, he will just stand there until he tumbles over. He is ridiculously cute standing!
*He took his first step this past week. I was busy gabbing away on the phone, to my dear friend Michelle, when the 1st official step took place. Shh, don't tell Daddy!
*He loves food! Among his favorites are: strawberries, bananas, blueberries, blackberries, cheese, yogurt, peas, cooked carrots, soup, oatmeal, casseroles and noodles.
*We have been experimenting giving him a cup with milk, water or juice. He loves to drink from it, but has not mastered tilting it back, so you have to assist him in the process. I am hoping in a few months he will transition easily from formula to milk without any problems and can master the sippy cup. I am looking forward to him being able to feed himself in the stroller or on the go!
*He is as happy as ever. He continues to make us smile and laugh all the time. If you just look at him, he will give you the biggest grin ever.
*He loves to pull on earrings, hair, glasses, doors, drawers, and anything and everything. He is very curious about the world around him.
*He has really been "babbling" a lot lately. Nothing that is intelligible, but you can tell that he is really trying to convey a message. He still says "mama, dadda, goo-goo (good girl, aka Mackenzie) and ba ba (for bottle).
*He loves to cuddle, and give kisses. If you ask him for a kiss, he will plant a wet one on your mouth. It is soooo stinkin' cute (and also a little slimy:).
*We still feed him before bed, but that may change soon. He sleeps until anywhere around 6:30 or 7:30 in the morning. He takes two naps, usually one around 9:30 and then an afternoon nap around 1. Each nap lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs.
*He loves peek-a-boo (Mackenzie can really get him laughing), toys with music (he will stand and dance), chasing Mackenzie around the house in his walker, or playing in Mackenzie's room with her toys...really, anything having to do with Mackenzie is a big hit.
Happy 10 month bday, buddy! We love you bunches! Here are some pictures and an adorable video from this month!
