10 Months!!!

Baby Jax is turning into a little boy. He is slowly losing his baby face and is starting to become a toddler. He is cruising around the furniture like a madman and is testing his balance with short "look ma, no hands" stunts. He is babbling up a storm and is known on occasion to say mama, dada, up, yoda (we think), and baba. He understands all the signs we use with him and sometimes will use one back when he's really wanting something (mostly the sign for "all done" at meal time). He can play peekaboo with a blanket and is learning how to manipulate the sound coming out of his mouth with his hand (what is nostalgically referred to as the "Indian Call") in a call and response pattern. He is attempting real food at dinner time such as whole chicken pieces, bread, cheese, beans, and anything and everything mommy and daddy are having that is safe for him to have. He has 8 teeth! Yes 8! His hair is slowly but surely coming in and he is definitely gaining weight (I call him Buddha Baby). He loves to flip his toys over and throw his Oball around and fetch it. He loves bath time which makes me happy since I want him to be at home in the water like his mommy. He is growing up so fast and is just so much fun right now. He really is the happiest baby and just a complete ham. He makes me laugh all the time. I am so glad I get to spend the next two months with him during my summer vacation. :)
