10 Months Old

Ten Months Old! I can hardly believe that in two months, our amazing little baby boy will be a whole year old!! But, I am getting ahead of myself. I should probably stay in the present, because time is going by way to fast as it is. So, what is our little man up to?? Well...in a word, A LOT! Here is a brief rundown:

Sleeping: He sleeps for 8 hours at night, then wakes up. It does not matter what time we put him to bed, he will wake up exactly eight hours later. We have tried all sorts of things, but he wakes up because he is HUNGRY. If we put him down at 8 (this is what we usually TRY to do) he gets up at 4 a.m. and has to eat. No ifs, ands

or buts about it. He will then go back to sleep and wake up at 7 a.m. He still takes two naps during the day that last about 1.5 hours.

Eating: EVERYTHING! He tries a wide variety of foods, and any thing on momma or daddy's plate seems to intrigue him. We have just started him on proteins like chicken and turkey. He is still in love with cheerios and will eat them any time of day.

Movement: Well, Archer has been crawling any and everywhere he can. He is also climbing up things and likes to stand when possible. He does some

"couch cruising" but isn't 100% confident in his steps...I do feel like walking is just right around the corner though.

Talking: Archer usually has A LOT to say. He babbles on nonstop when he is awake. He talks to any one who will listen to him. The only "words" we have really been able to make out are dada and mom. He chants these all the time. It also often sounds like he is saying Beauleaux, but who knows if he is really doing that.

Favorite games: Hide and seek, playing with his puppies and his 3-1 sports center that is wonderful Auntie Sarah got him for Christmas. He will play with those for HOURS. Here is a picture of him with the 3-1.

Momma's Favorites: My favorite things that he does is "so big" and he has started waving "bye-bye" which is the CUTEST thing ever. I look forward to all of the things he is going to learn and start doing, it is so neat to watch him blossoming!!

So, that is about it for his ten months. We are just having a blast with him. Any rough days or nights we have with him are QUICKLY erased by how much fun it is to play with him. Who knows what will happen next!!
