2 months to go until the big 1 year!!! Cannot believe it. He has changed in so many ways from that newborn little baby we brought home nearly a year ago. Still a sweet boy though. Anywho...here is what we are up to these days...
What he is doing:
***Growing teeth. We have both of our lower incisors. They came in over the course of a weekend and well I am not looking forward to the other 18...Jonah is not a good teether.
***Talking~~~ We actually have three words!! Duck, Cat and Dog. All three are said purposefully when looking at said objects.
*** Pointing to body parts. Not his own yet, but he can point to my nose and mouth when asked and has pointed to my ear once :)
***Walking. Well not without help. He does great when we are holding his hands or he is walking behind a push toy.
*** Using a sippie cup a lot more. We can't convince him to drink from it completely, but he atleast drinks his milk from it about twice a day
***Dancing. He has been doing this for a while, but its anytime music comes on he bounces his little butt and taps his left foot.
*** Throwing stuff. Maybe instead of an offensive lineman we should be pushing for quarterback. This kid is throwing everything. We really gotta start working on throwing balls only.
***Learning how to put small objects into slightly bigger objects. Seems like a simple task, but for the mind of a young 10 month old its quite a complex task.
***Biting the furniture. I can't say I am proud of this. Thankfully we do not have expensive furniture cause there are definately teeth marks in the side tables.
*** Learning the word "No". It's frequently said around here, especially if the computers are out. We have also had to tap a hand or two when No isn't cutting it.
***Climbing. We become human monkey gyms when we are laying on the floor. This also means he can climb onto the fire place.
***Tells us when he is tired. It used to be that he would just fuss when he was tired, and sometimes that was a guessing game as to what was wrong. Now he comes and lays his head down on a blanket or pillow when he is ready for Nite Nite.
What he loves:
A lot of the same things.
*** Outside. Now that the weather is nice he enjoys being outside whenever possible.
***His farm, his racetrack, leapfrog table and anything that spins are still a big hit.
***Green beans, carrots and mandarin oranges are his favorites.
***The cats are never ending balls of fun to chase.\
***Chasing his soccer or basketballs.
***Playing football with dad and getting tackled by dad
***Blowing raspberries
***Pushing cars across the living room. And actually watching real cars go down the street.
***Eating whatever Mama is eating
***People watching
***Elmo, Grover, Ernie, Special Agent Oso, and Mickey Mouse
***Books
***Opening doors
***His stackable rings
***Knocking down towers of things
