10 months!

I didn't even try the pictures with Mickey this month. He probably grew a bit since last month :-)
What he has been up to...

Bedtime has become a nightmare. The kid will not go to bed at night. We rock him and rock him and rub his tummy or back and do whatever we can... it takes FOREVER and its usually 9 or 9:30 before he falls asleep. I can't handle letting him scream until he falls asleep. I Just won't do it. We hope its due to his upper teeth starting to break thru; I can't take it much longer.

This kid has non-stop energy. He goes, goes, goes all day long. Its amazing to watch. Luckily, he plays by himself really well.

We have wood floors which means we have divets/holes in the wood. Eli will find one and is mesmerized for quite some time. He will stick his finger in it, lick it and is just fascinated. Its pretty funny to watch.

He babbles/talks a ton. The talk includes high pitched squealing at times. But it also includes some great giggling. Love the giggling.

He is fascinated by other kids. He wants to touch them, pull their hair and talk to them. He doesn't understand when they run from him.

He has finally mastered crawling on his knees. The wood floors definitely slowed that development but he has it all figured out now. And he is already getting on his knees and trying to pull himself up. He has discovered the book shelf. Oh boy.

All in all, he is still a very content little boy and so much fun to be with. This is definitely way more fun than the newborn stage.

Here is a sampling of pictures from the last couple weeks...

At a restaurant trying to get into everything...
