I had to get that corny joke out of the way. Our little man turned 10 months old on Thanksgiving day!
We can now...
--Point to lots of things
--Stand up and walk around the coffee table....or the mantle...all the time...
--Look at mom and say "mamama" more intentionally
--Look at dad and say "dadada" more intentionally
--Has stood up by himself not holding anything for a second or two
--Walks behind his walker all over the house
--We say, "How big is Jackson?" he holds up his hands high as we say, "So big!"
--Claps a lot
--Learning the word, "gentle" when petting the cats. We think he may think the word for cat is "gentle," we say it so many times!
--He has 5 upper teeth and 2 lower. He refuses to let me even come close to taking a picture of them.
--He plays "roll the soccer ball" when we sit in a circle together
Sorry I don't have more pictures. It's been a crazy month.
Jackson is extremely independent at this age. When he is in an environment he's comfortable with, the world is his oyster. He loves calming walks in his stroller, facing only out at the world. In new environments he does get very clingy onto Aaron or I. He also is clingy with things he's unsure of in the house, like when we turn on the fire place.
We read him Charlie Brown Christmas every night, and it has buttons with certain tunes or sayings from the story. He loves to talk at the book when pushing the buttons, and we think it's the most adorable thing ever.
He sweetly talks to himself and buries his head in his stuffed animals while playing. He is becoming more of a picky eater, but we are noticing he will eat more non-baby food if we are all eating at the table together.
He loves to walk and climb as much as possible. Our bet is that he will be walking by Christmas time.
We love you, our sweet little penguin.
