10 Months

Joseph is 10 months today. Holy cow! He is almost never still, which means I am constantly making sure he doesn't get into EVERYTHING.

Fascinating

Oh hi

Nothing is out of reach

At 10 months Joseph:

Sleeps around 8 hours straight at night

Loves fruit, avocado, sweet potato, and chicken

Still only has 2 teeth

Babbles constantly

Can clearly say: Mama, Dada, up, all gone

Has started trying to climb

Has taken a few unassisted steps but still prefers to crawl

Loves Muppets (will stop what he is doing to watch it on the TV)

Gets into everything if he is not watched

Can open the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom

Loves to play in and with water

Usually happy, smiling, and laughing

Does bite me when he gets upset

He has his own personality and is going to be a huge handful. Sometimes, when he is told no, he will grab my hand and bite as hard has he can. We're working on breaking that habit. He'll sit and play with his toys - he often makes so much noise I say he is giving a running commentary.

One of his new favorites is a toy from his Aunt Lissa - a Baby Einstein Ocean Exploration Play Pad. He'll hit one of the buttons and bounce along with the music.

I look good in this shirt

I love my little man and love watching him grow and change. He is definitely going to be a daredevil and a handful - good thing he is cute enough to make up for all the trouble he causes.
