10 Months

Someone is ten months old today.  He's officially been outside of me longer than he was inside of me.  Weird!  Time is flying.

Caleb is still a army-crawling wonder, although now it looks more like a salamander impersonation rather than a wounded soldier.  He is also pulling to a standing position on everything in sight, and even cruising a little.  So I wonder if the army crawl will be his only crawl before walking... who knows?  I just hope he walks before spring - that way I won't have to worry quite so much about his tummy being dragged through the mud.

He's eating better and better.  His latest favorites are blueberries, scrambled eggs (with a little cheese!), and water.  He drinks 6-8 ounces of water out of a straw every day!  I love it!  Oh he also likes beans, but doesn't seem to know how to digest them very well...  He still eats at least half of a banana everyday, if not a whole one, and lots of cereal.  Again, I must report that he isn't nursing much anymore, but still loves it.  And I'll admit, I love it too.

Yesterday we welcomed another tooth into Caleb's mouth (and welcomed the return of good naps!).  But no, it's not the other middle top tooth, to make a cute set of four, it's the one to the right of the already-descended top tooth.  I think it's called the Left Lateral Incisor.  I'll have to see if I can get a photo after his nap...  {Here it is!  You can see the other Central Incisor is so close to popping that his gum is literally white there.}

He is still such a joy.  I went to the temple (in Columbus) without him a couple Saturday's ago and it was so hard to leave him knowing I'd be driving 200 miles away.  I know, I'm such a wimp.  (Okay, I cried.  But only one tear.)  I just love my little man!

PS I set up this little photo shoot by myself and took these photos.  Are you impressed?  Maybe I will learn to use Tyler's camera... As for Photoshop?  Yes, Tyler did the editing.
