Hey Little Guy!!
You turned 10 months old this week. And from what I was told at your 9 month appointment, you are approximately 19 pounds. But then again, you have had a little growth spurt! Length wise you have almost caught up to your age in clothing sizes. In pants you are up to 9 months and you are wearing size 6 months in shirts. And we have you working on little finger foods now which you are excelling at!! I worked all day today making your baby food for the month. I made little bite sized fruits and veggies to go along with your pureed baby food. I think you have growth spurts everytime we advance your food.
So last night you did something awesome...
You stood up, stayed standing...stayed standing...stayed standing...TOOK A STEP...STAYED STANDING...and then plopped down. WOW!! When we started clapping and cheering you started laughing and clapping with us. A mommy would never forget a moment like this.
So here you are, 5/6 a year old. You will be happy to know that you are STILL the cutest baby EVER! I am not biased. It is the truth.
I love you, Little Buddy!!

Merry Christmas, Little Buddy!
Ho Ho Ho, Bentley!
It is Christmas Eve! And although you do not understand anything that is going on, you sure are enjoying the lights, bells, paper and boxes everywhere!
This year is my first year to not make a huge fuss about everything. I usually have the tree up by October 31 (which your daddy doesn't enjoy) and the stockings hung neatly with perfect symmetry, and the gifts are wrapped neatly and topped with beautiful bows. But this year I am distracted by this happy, smiley, adventurous little bald guy crawling around. So the tree is up, stockings are hanging, and gifts are under the tree. And by no means is it a picture perfect scene. Each stocking has fallen down twice and at this point they are just thrown up on the wall hanging on for dear life. The tree is leaning slightly and the gifts are mostly stuck in gift sacks and pre-decorated boxes taped shut. I laugh at my half-attempt to do up Christmas this year.
See, this year I have a whole new mind set. I love that Christmas brings along with it the excitement to celebrate with the ones you love and give gifts that you picked out with them in mind. So that has taken over my care to have a picture perfect home. Since you came along I have just been relaxing and enjoying this season watching the magical little moments that make me take a snapshot for my memory bank. And this year there have been several of these moments.
Next year I will be teaching you about the true meaning of Christmas and how to spend the Holidays giving to others from your heart. And we will be making many more memories from now until then.
Merry Christmas, Little Buddy!

Your First Step
So, Little Buddy,
Here I was just sitting on the couch, stuffing envelopes with our Christmas cards with you playing at my feet. You crawled over to the couch to pull yourself up. Then you moved over to my pant legs to balance yourself and faced away from me. Next thing I know you let go and were standing on your own. I was just about to applaud when... you took a step forward! You stood there for one second, dropped to your knees and crawled away.
I shouted, "He took his first step!!!"
Your daddy was sitting right there and missed it. It happened so fast!
I'm going to be chasing you all over this house pretty soon!
I love you so much!
Love,
Mommy
