10 months old

Alex turned 10 months old today. The day was almost over and we had just given them both baths, but we needed a picture. We got a couple of Alex, and then of course Anna had to get one too.

He's growing up so fast! In the last month, he has become a dangerous little boy...crawling everywhere & fast! He likes to crawl through tight spaces for some reason.

He also likes to open every kitchen cabinet. We were not very strict about child proofing the house with Anna because she just wasn't all that interested. I don't think we'll be that lucky this time around.

After he got strep, he abandoned saying "Hi", but does say "All done" and sometimes "Anna". We hear some "da da" and "ma ma" here & there, but never for us on a regular basis. In the last month, he has learned to clap and wave a bit here & there.

Alex is also pulling himself up on things. As you can tell, he even likes to pull himself up in the photo chair!

Alex's most favorite thing is Anna. He loves splashing in the bath with her, playing with her and following her around. He also likes the new basketball hoop he got for Christmas and is learning the art of slam dunking early!
He still only has 3 bottom teeth. He's drinking more & more from a sippy cup, but we haven't abandoned the bottle yet. He likes to eat as much people food as he can get into his tiny mouth, but we sneak in some baby food now & then.
My favorite thing about Alex is his smile. He is always happy (unless he's tired). I love picking him up from day care. As soon as he sees me, he crawls as fast as he can in my direction. In fact, a few weeks ago, he stopped and waved; crawled; stopped & waved again and kept crawling. Melted my heart!! He's going to break girls hearts someday :)
