Ten Months

Little man is ten months old!

At ten months this guy is so much more mobile than Ava was. He is a crawling machine who pulls up onto every possible thing he can. He will go from the bath to the toilet and back again cruising. He can walk with his little dinosaur walker. He bumps himself and falls down a lot but he doesn't get too hurt most of the time because he is a professional faller now ;). He gets really mad when his dinosaur bumps into something and he can't keep moving forward. He can stand for a couple seconds without support but he gets scared and bends slowly to the ground for safety.

B is so much less independent/stubborn than Ava also. By this time she would not really allow me to feed her. Bennett is exact opposite and doesn't feed himself ANYTHING. He is not super into finger foods and would prefer baby food.

He is so amazingly happy. Even when he is grumpy he manages to smile while crying and fussing.

He is so good at playing on his own, but still loves to cuddle mom and dad. He also likes to get into everything from cords, to unrolling the toilet paper.

He plays with toys so well! Now I see the purpose of toys. Ava was/still is not a toy person. It is fun watching him explore the world.

He says baba, dada, mama, and gaga. He has no clue what they mean. But he is starting to become more vocal which is cute.

He is an early riser. Usually he wakes up around 6:30. Seven fifteen if I am lucky. People kinda think it is funny when I tell them Bennett needs to go down for his first nap around 8.

He hates getting his diaper changed, and I hate changing his diaper and clothes. He wants to crawl away as soon as I take his diaper off.

He loves water so much! Baths are quite wet for me. Seven peaks is heaven for him! So much splashing!

His favorite foods are mixed veggies and baby oatmeal.

His favorite person is Ava. Followed in a close second by mommy and then daddy. He is so loving.
