Hello, Time? Wait up! Thank you.

Gone are the days of leaving Wilder to play alone for 5 minutes...content on a blankie with a few toys. My kid is all over the place. My Swiffer Sweeper in Pampers.

And he's ten months. I pore over newborn photos and wonder where my baby went!

Some cool stuff that's going on:

~bathes in the regular bathtub; this is a special bonding time with Daddy; he splashes a lot and plays with a red cup
~he army crawls FAST, and climbs on the furniture
~we lowered his crib as low as it will go
~leans against tables/chairs/couch and pats each surface
~talks
~self-feeds; he loves cheese
~goes from tummy to sitting up
~forms his lips into an "O" when focused or excited about something
~makes a humming sound when he crawls
~loves walking with our holding both his hands
~has one tooth!
~behaves very well for our occasional babysitter, Ashley
~has some kind of curl situation going on (I'm trying not to get my hopes up)
~likes being thrown in the air
~turns pages in books (and pats them!)
~babbles--mostly "da-da"
~I am addicted to estate saling

Playing with cousin Max, who's two.
Too bad they don't live closer to one another; they have fun together--pinching, whacking, staring. Ya know, the kind of stuff we wish we could do to our adult friends.
