My baby is 10 months old! He is getting more and more independent daily. He prefers to eat finger foods over being fed with a spoon so he can do it himself. He will only take his favorites from a spoon and he is not easily tricked into anything else. He is a carnivore, making sure all the chicken is gone before moving on to anything else. With 7 teeth, he is making it work.
He continues to scoot around the house and pull up onto his knees. Everyday we watch him closely because we know he will be crawling
any day.
He is also waving and saying "bye bye" to everyone, which is too cute for words. This month we plan on incorporating sign language daily so we can better communicate with C while he is developing his language.
He is also finally acting a little interested in reading books. In the past I have felt so defeated as I have read to him and he would slowly wander away, but now he will sit and look at the book, feeling the pages and help turn to the next page while I read!
As you might be able to tell by the picture he has become a cheese ball when the camera is focused on him. It is hard to get a picture of what he might be doing because as soon as he hears the camera he stops and grins. Although it is hard to get a picture of him in action I love having a baby who enjoys being in front of the camera. As B said the other day, "that's my boy," we all know B does not mind the focus of the camera.
