10 months old!

Can you believe it? We can't. It's been an eventful month. Jamie was baptized. He got his first two teeth (finally!). He is crawling on all fours more than he goes commando. He moves around all the furniture and I've even seen him stand unsupported (accidentally and very briefly) when he lets go of something and isn't paying attention. He is babbling away. He can climb up and down (with help) stairs, though we don't let him do it here as our steps are too steep. He waves hello and goodbye when prompted. He loves lift the flap books. He loves playing games and doing things to try to make us (including Remmy) laugh/smile, like instigating peek-a-boo, or handing me his pacifier or something he's eating. He understands more than we think too. On Tuesday, he was sitting by the tv, doing something I didn't want him to do, so I told him to bring me his book which was next to him, and he pushed it over to me while crawling. I was shocked! This busy boy made photos really difficult this month, as I was on my own taking the photos. As soon as he was close enough, he was grabbing for them, or putting them in his mouth. See for yourself:

The best two (of 130+!):

The reality:

Don't you just love his little tiptoe!

So focused, can't get him to turn his head...

This one doesn't help...

As soon as he reached them, he flopped to his belly and flipped every single one over...
