Ten Months Old

He's into everything. He scoots and crawls all over the house, pulls himself up to a standing position approximately 47 times a minute, and picks up and eats anything that even looks like food. Basically, he's Jack Jack from The Incredibles, except that he doesn't spontaneously burst into flame every 30 seconds. Yet.


What else? He weighs 21 pounds, 11 ounces. He thinks his sisters are a hoot. He loves to play in the bathtub. He likes to look at books. He screams at bed time, but then sleeps peacefully most of the night.

He likes to go for stroller rides around the neighborhood. He sits quietly, chewing on a pretzel or a cookie, and looks around to take in all the sights.

He is usually OK in the car, except on long trips or when he's already cranky. He falls asleep easily in his car seat, but sometimes wakes up when he gets home.

He will sit quietly and watch Teletubbies or Baby Einstein in the evening, right before bedtime. He can hold his bottle or even a sippy cup pretty well, but sometimes he drops it on the floor, either by accident or, more and more, on purpose. It's a game he's just learning.

What a face! Such a doll. But nothing tops that sweet smile and laugh, which must be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

he is so cute! And that red hair - where does he get that from? Were his sisters red heads when they were younger? I don't remember.

All of the standing, scooting, eating, screaming....It sounds like he must be related to the two little monkeys who live in my house...oh wait, he is!
