10 months old

Ok, so I am a little late... once again!

Alexander Daniel,

You are simply amazing! There are no truer words!

You are 10 1/2 months old now and your development continues to amaze us. You are now crawling on all fours, pulling yourself up on everything, and cruising the furniture like a pro. You say a few words (well, mommy thinks you do) like mama, dada, nana and mo-wa (more). You have learned to clap your hands, wave bye-bye, give wet, sloppy kisses and cluck you tongue. You are stellar when it comes to napping and going to bed. Bed time usually comes at 8pm with a quick nurse, a book, some Celine Dion Miracle and Bo-bo in hand you put your self right to sleep. Although you are still waking anywhere from 5-6 am for a nursing you quickly go back to sleep and are there until as late as 9:30 sometimes.

You have developed quite the little personality and have no qualms about letting it shine. Although you are almost always happy and easy going, take the telephone or a lego away from you and you let us hear it. You love your brother to pieces and will quickly make your way to wherever he is, much to his chagrin. You continue to be a momma's boy and rarely will go to anyone else when I am around (I am dwelling in the, as I know this soon will pass). The smile you give me when I walk through the door after a day at work are absolutely priceless! You love your daddy too and give us the best belly laughs when he blows raspberries on you tummy.

Alex, although mommy hates to see you grow up (as demonstrated by her refusal to put you in size 3 diapers as of yet) each day is a complete and utter joy watching you develop and do new things. Just when I think it can't get any better you prove me wrong. Thank you for being you little man.
