Sam is 10 Months Old

It's happened again this month - Sam become one month older. I am so confused by this. He is supposed still be an infant. In my head - he is still a really tiny baby. But good news is he really will always be my baby.

Sam is eating food much better now and gets really excited when he sees a snack. He has eaten birthday cake - at school - no one asked me :( but was told he LOVED it. He also eats cheerios and gold fish at school. At home, I am still giving him the gerber snacks. He likes the Beech Nut brand baby food, especially the texture ones. He still does not like vegetables. It is funny how much he despises them. We have given him yogurt and he likes it a lot as well. He is still drinking 5 bottles a day but next week I am going see about cutting that down to 4.

He is crawling all over the place. In fact he really doesn't have any boundaries - so thankful for a one story house. We kept Andrew in one room when he we was crawling. Sam gets the lay of the land. He moves to the kitchen to the living room to the dining room and we just make sure he isn't going to hurt himself. The only limits he has are the laundry room and curtains. Lucky little boy.

He says dada perfectly at Owen. In fact he says "Hey Dada" when Owen walks into a room. No mention of momma :( but is trying to say Andrew - he says "AAAND" and then stops at the drew part. He has said the same sound numerous times while looking at Andrew so he is figuring it out. He also attempts Ralphie - Did I mention no attempt at MOMMA! The woman who feeds him, clothes him, puts him to sleep, runs to his every cry, and gives him 1000 kisses and hugs a day - you know ME!!! I am definitely kidding here - but it is funny.

He is lifting up on things and is a very observant child.

Sam can also mimic you. When Andrew is screaming or Daddy is making funny sounds, Sam will will mock them in a soft voice. It is so funny. In fact Sam in general is a fun baby.

He is so sweet. He has a great schedule. Takes 2 naps a day (sometimes 3 on the weekends). Wakes up around 6 am and goes to sleep around 6:30 pm. He sleeps all night. I sometimes hear him stirring around in his bed around 3 am but doesn't cry.

For the past couple of weeks have been great weeks for Sam's sinuses. We went to the beach two weeks ago and all of his congestion cleared up and hasn't really come back - Praise the Lord! He has had a stuffy nose since the first day of day care.

I have started planning his birthday party. It is going to be a football party! I am setting it up like a play date at our house and we will invite close friends and his mommy and me group. I am really excited about it.

Here are some more pictures of my baby at 10 months - He was a lot harder this month to take a picture b/c he was on the move.
