You're ten months old!
This month was spent zooming around. You are fast like lightening at crawling. I leave you in one room, walk across the house, and suddenly you appear right behind me. It's freakish! You also discovered the stairs this month. You get halfway up before you become overtaken with terror and need rescuing.
You can now pull up gracefully on everything, and you can just as smoothly lower yourself back down. This is a nice departure from needing to be saved from standing every five seconds. You are also cruising around. Unfortunately, our space is so limited that you don't have very far to cruise.
You have started imitating noises from Mommy and Daddy's mouth. You make a "kiss" sound, and you also cluck your tongue to imitate chewing noises (I guess that means that we chew too loudly?!)
You are preferring finger foods this month. You are continuing to not want to hold your own bottle, and don't even TRY to offer you a sippy cup. It gets spilled all over the place and then pushed off your tray. Food also gets pushed off your tray frequently. I think you think it's fun to watch the
You are experiencing stranger danger. When Emmie came to visit, you wouldn't let her near you for a whole day. When Grandpa came the next weekend, you were a little faster to warm up. We had a lunch visit from an old co-worker of Mommy's today, and you weren't having any of that.
You love, love, love your board books. You can help Mommy turn the page, and your little finger goes straight for any fuzz or other "texture" embellishments. Your favorite seems to be "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," you make your signature happy monster noises throughout the entire book.
Maybe I haven't mentioned that....Elliott doesn't usually make cute noises. As my sister so nicely put it, he makes Poltergeist sounds. I think he might get that from me, my nickname was "Monster Baby" after all.
And in other news and milestones this month, Mommy and Daddy bought a house! The move back home is just around the corner! (Which means so is your first Birthday!)
Can't believe how quickly the past 10 months have gone by. Here's one grandma hoping the next 2 1/2 months fly by just as quickly. Then I get to watch Elliott grow, and not just read about it in mommy's beautiful, and often times funny, blog posts. Then, once you're home, time can "take it's time" and not pass quite so fast!
