10 Months

Collin is 10 months old and I can't believe a year is quickly approaching. I just want him to stay little forever. I'm a few days behind on the photos because this past week he had a bad cold with croup so his eyes were all glossy and nose all runny. He's so cute I waited to take his photo. Which i quickly remembered is basically impossible with a 10 month who doesn't sit still. He is back to doing well though, crawling everywhere, playing with Hannah and Jack, pulling up, trying to walk, and exploring. This past month Collin started saying his first word "Mama." !!! He usually says it when he needs something as he's crawling towards me. He truly is so sweet and I get so many comments about how he is the best baby. He can stand for a few seconds by himself before he squats down. Still no teeth, but is eating more and more new foods. He seems to like things with flavor as opposed to just individual pieces of fruit on his tray. He likes spaghetti and meatballs, bbq chicken with mac and cheese, and fried rice. He loves to play peek a boo and laughs hysterically when you kiss his belly or pretend like the spoon is stuck in his mouth when you feed him. He also thinks he's funny when he tries to share his paci with you. He still likes water bottles, emptying drawers, pulling dvds off the shelf, balls, pulling hair, and chewing on remote controls. He also really enjoys throwing anything onto the floor and having you pick it up (over and over). He still takes good naps during the day with one paci tucked under his belly. He and figgy are so much better with each other and I'm glad he gets to grow up with a puppy. He is starting to do a wave and we are working on clapping. Gramps taught him to raise his hands over his head any time he hears the word "winner." He has the sweetest smile and laugh. He makes me so happy and I am so blessed to be his mommy.
