a 10 month old

yep...that's right, i am now a parent of a 10 month old. A very very busy 10 month old. now, i know i say that Preston is busy in almost all of my posts, but i feel his level of busy-ness has increased 10-fold this last month. he is exhausting. it is a very good and pleasant exhausting, but none-the-less, exhausting. Yesterday we were at my moms house and i kid you not, the child did not stop moving for 3 seconds in 3 straight hours...except for the 2 minutes that he and i were swinging on the swings. My little sisters were taking a nap and when they woke up they couldn't believe that he was still on the move. He makes me laugh everyday because he is just so silly and curious. i think he has A.D.D...because he is constantly from one thing to the next. silly boy.

He is walking now. He is getting much much more confident in it. I think his most steps is somewhere between 10-12, but when he started he would only walk in between chase and i, but now he will take off on his own. It is so fun to see him learn new things, and i am lucky to be able to spend everyday with him and watch him learn and grow.

He is starting to jabber a lot more. He will say dada, mama, baba, and lots of other noises. I think he only really knows dada and mama, and the rest are just jibber.

He is done nursing, and now drinks from a bottle a few times a day. he used to take a bottle when he was a newborn up until he was 3 months old and then he quit, and much to my surprise when i quit nursing i tried giving him a bottle and he loved it. He drinks both formula and cows milk. When i took preston to his 9 months appointment the dr. told me to start giving him some cows milk to up his fluids at that point i was giving him soy milk occasionaly, but the doc said to go straight to cows, i was quite hesitant to do this because all i've ever heard is to wait until a year to introduce cows milk, but with the dr.'s go ahead i did it, and he loves it and has had no problem adjusting to it.

He loves to be outside (what child doesn't) we are just bummed because this summer has been such a downer with the yucky weather. so we enjoy regular walks outside when the weather is decent and it is hands down his favorite part of day (next to when daddy comes home)

Other than that, i wouldn't say there have been too many changes from his 9th month. He still continues to be greatest blessing and joy in our lives and we just can't get enough of him, even if he wears us out by the end of the day. He is so much fun and still the happiest little guy ever.

Happy 10 months sweet little boy
