10 Months

Happy 10 months to my beautiful babies! You guys sure are make getting these month by month photos of you sitting with your bears really difficult.


Sean
Sean is my social, friendly guy. When he meets new people, he just smiles and smiles. He constantly has his tongue out. Just recently he started "talking" more, and now can babble with the rest of them. He is constantly on the move. He rolls all over and is so close to crawling. He does this modified army crawl that is more like an inch worm. He can transition easily from sitting onto his belly but can rarely get from his belly back up to sitting. He pulls up to his knees and really wants to pull to stand. When he hears music, he sings along. He is enthusiastic about eating and is adventurous in trying new foods. He can be cuddly at times, but after a few minutes, he is ready to bounce and flop around and explore. We are still waiting for him to get some teeth and loving that toothless grin. He loves our pup and gets excited when he sees any dogs. He's turning into a pudgy little guy with squeezable cheeks and squishy thighs. He is still small though (wearing 6-9 month clothes). He is a decent sleeper for a 10 month old. He has figured out how to turn on his musical aquarium in his crib, which is sometimes the only sign we get that he woke up from his nap.

Aaron
Aaron my serious guy. He likes to watch and figure things out. When meeting new people, he just watches. But when he is ready to smile (or is getting tickled) his smile and laughter will melt any heart. He is a big talker and I swear he said "mama" the other day. He loves blowing raspberries and making fish faces. He likes to sit and look at books or play his little piano. He loves to dance. He claps his hands and sometimes uses sign language to ask for more while he is eating. His gross motor development comes in spurts. He watches what Sean is up to for awhile and then just suddenly does it too. He can pull up to his knees, then takes it a step farther by letting go and balancing. He loves to stand and challenges himself by letting go and standing alone on two feet for a few seconds at a time. When he accomplishes something new, he is so excited and just smiles and laughs at how awesome he is. He is a little more picky about eating and is not a fan of veggies. He's generally a happy baby but had a few off days this week when he wanted to be held a lot. He is normally an independent little dude that is happy doing his own thing. He has two bottom teeth and one on top and a fourth one on the top that will come in any minute (which probably accounts for the clingy behavior). His cheeks have finally filled out and he has what I like to call "cheek chub". He is still a tiny little guy (wearing 3-6 month clothes, although I often make him wear larger sizes because I'm tired of having so many clothes around). His sleep is sometimes good, and sometimes not so great.

My favorite things about having two 10 month olds:
- all the smiles and giggles
- how these kids find the most entertainment in the craziest things like boxes, hockey nets, and the legs of their activity table.
