Connor - 10 months

Where has the time gone? Connor has turned into Godzilla baby/toddler and keeps me hopping from 6:15 am - 8 pm. He's so stinking cute and exhausting. At 10 months he:

- Launched himself over some pillows on our bed and rolled off onto his face and gave himself a bloody nose
- Loves to eat, still hates green beans. Sits and cries if we are eating and he isn't, even if he just ate
- Can army crawl. Still faster rolling but now prefers to crawl.  He ends up filthy by successfully dusting my floors all day every day.  Makes me feel like a slob, so gross
- Gives the cheesiest smiles, especially when he squawks and you give him what he wanted
- Says "uh oh", "woof", "ball" and "hi"
- Waves bye bye and hi

- Claps his hands for signing "more" and waves his arms like dancing to sign for "all done"
- Loves music and dances
- Is into EVERYTHING, he is so curious. He loves to try and put his fingers in light sockets, pull cords, open drawers- especially the one under the oven, play with door stoppers and play with anything that's dangerous.
- He's super strong. He's successfully kicked a slat off of his crib, like full-on broke it and can push various things over with his chunky legs.
- He's working on pulling himself up, he mainly just gets on his knees
- Really wants to walk or stand.  He's getting less wobbly when we hold him up but struggles taking steps
- Is an early bird. I hate it
- Doesn't nap terrifically, an hour around 10 a.m. then 90 minutes around 2 p.m. With swimming lessons he's kind of all screwed up and will take a really long nap after we get home at 11 a.m. and then no more naps the rest of the day.  Not sure I'm ready for him to transition to only one nap

- Is really social
- Got his top two teeth. They were on the verge forevveeerr and finally broke through
- Is so good to let me lay him down and he goes to sleep with minimal fussing
- Loves to blow raspberries, especially with a mouthful of food

Cheesy smile with glimpse of two
new top teeth!

- Loves to sit with his bucket of toys and move from thing to thing
- Can cluck his tongue
- He frequently gets his toys stolen by his sister who insists that the toy is "mine" but he's a good sport... For now...
- Is very mechanically and physically inclined. Can figure toys out and how things function quite easily
- He's really coordinated also.  He can hit a balloon in rhythm and throw a ball
- Loves to swing
We love him to pieces!
