10 Months and a Very Happy Valentine's Day...

Hey ya'll! Happy Valentine's Day! How cool is it that I turned ten months old today too. So much love. And pink. I heart pink.

So...what's new in my world? Mom says I am growing so fast. I don't really know about that. I still have some 3-6 months clothes that fit but mostly I'm in the generic 6-12 months size. Really? A six month span? The good news is that I can wear clothes much longer than what I hear from other kids.

Well, what I did hear from other kids. Because now I'm at home with Mommy every day! I'm still getting used to that. I'm just not sure she's gonna stick around so I really, really dislike it when she leaves my sight. I might whine about it. A lot. Mommy's doing her best to be patient. She tells me where she's going and she makes sure she does it slow enough so I can follow her if I want to. Which mostly I do. She does this funny little dance and I just laugh at her! Almost makes me forget she's leaving me. She says we're going to start doing some Hide and Seek. Maybe that will be fun. I'm not convinced but we'll see.

While we're playing together, I love standing as much as possible. I can stand for 15 seconds at a time before I fall down. The falling down thing is cool. I got used to it pretty quickly. Doesn't even scare me anymore. I had to learn how to sit down gently and I did! I may be slow at it but I got it down. But sometimes I'm in too much of a hurry and I plop down on my bottom. Much faster.

Not sure when I'll be walking. Since I've figured out the crawling thing, I've found I don't really have much use for it. I mean, I crawl around in the living room while I'm playing but I don't go exploring a whole lot. A couple of times a day, I make a loop around the living room, through the kitchen and back around but then I'm done. Mommy says I'm not much of an explorer. Which is true. I'm much more content to watch and observe. I get that from Mommy. So honestly, not sure what walking will do for me. I'm good with standing for now.

I talk a lot these days. Especially when I'm standing up at the couch. Mommy and Daddy talk back to me like they understand but I suspect they don't. I mean, I'm not even sure I understand what I'm saying. Next Tuesday, I'm getting tubes and the doctor thinks I'll be even more verbal when all the fluid is out of my ears. Not sure why it's there but I am over getting ear infections. Over. It.

I really can't complain. My life is pretty sweet. Mommy and Daddy love me lots. They give me tons of hugs and kisses. They sing with me and dance with me. We snuggle and read books together. We giggle and talk with Jesus. And once Mom stops trying to put the stinkin' bows on my head, things will be basically perfect.

Enjoy the pictures with Aubie! I think Mom included a few of me digging through the diaper bag too. I found it on my first loop around the house and she thought it was funny. It's not on the floor any more. Not sure where it went. See ya'll in March!
