Ten Months of Cute!

I'm a bit shocked that in just two months, Charlie will be ONE!  He's 10 months, as of 9/28, and it went way too fast.  I can barely remember how tiny he was, how it took a month just to get back to his birth weight, or how he slept in a basinett for the first six months of his life.

Now, Charlie is

• crawling all over the place.
• pulling himself up to a stand.
• cruising along furniture.
• playing with toys.
• voicing his unhappiness when his sisters give a little too much love or take things from him.
• prefering table food in chunks, not pureed mush.
• laughing when things are silly or funny.
• still tiny, under 17 lbs.
• on formula.
• learning to drink from a sippy.  He knows how, but doesn't often.
• loving snacks.  His fave are multigrain cheerios.
• paying a little more attention to the TV when there are colorful cartoons or music on.
• loving to dance with mommy.
• smiling when he sees people he knows and loves.
• getting upset when people he knows and loves walk away from him.
• used to playing in his playpen.
• going to bed awake and falls asleep on his own.
• starting to get into things he shouldn't, like cords and blurays.
• likes the game "I drop it, You pick it up, and Repeat"

He is such a cutie and cuddly little guy.  I'm pretty smitten.  I am not wanting him to grow up, but can't wait to see what he's like a 2; walking around and jabbering away.  He seems to have a great disposition and wonderful sense of humor.  I will play with him and growl and he'll just giggle.  He'll also laugh when I tease him by pretending to give him something and then take it back. He's starting to get into things, and loves cords.  Great!
