10 months

Little man has come into his own in his tenth month! Here are some of his favorite activities....

Crawling everywhere -- he finally got off of the ground, but he still army crawls half the time!

Despite this increased activity level, his chunky thighs remain unaffected,
much to my delight and strangers that ask for a squeeze!

He's cruising everywhere -- cautious but determined!
We'd taught Kirkley to keep everything out of his reach on top of tables, but now nothing is safe...
We attempted to collect things last year for Christmas that would last him till this December
when his birthday/Christmas rolls around again. It's been fun pulling these bigger toys out.
Of course, true to all children, the box was just as fun when we got out this riding toy.
See his smile underneath!

I'd love tips from moms of boys for this birthday/Christmas of what he'd love from ages 12-24 months!

He's a total sport about being in the stroller 99% of our time outside of the house.
I'm starting to get teased about it, but I love it.
It's my biggest tip for moms with more than one:
load it down with everything you'll need and don't try to carry
your stuff + 26lb baby + diaper bag + another toddler in hand! :)He's started hanging off of the side and staring at the wheels while he rides.

And no ride is complete without his new favorite snack:Note the red mark on his finger from when he bit it earlier today snacking and totally broke his heart!


And as of now, he's the easiest child to get to smile for the camera!
