Big Bad Baby Emmett's 10 Months

As you can see...he is still a nudist.

I actually sucked in a big breath of air when I looked at the calendar and saw that Big Bad Baby Emmett was 10 months old.  How could he be ten months old?!?  I am not okay with this.  I am not sure if it is because we are in the "double digits" now or it's because he is losing his baby-ness.  He likes to hold his own bottle, finally started eating some finger foods without instantly choking and is so close to walking.  Sigh.  He loves to "cruise" on the furniture and is always popping up in unexpected places...like the back of the couch.  Still has those giant hands...

He is still growing lots and lots of mysterious white blonde hair...in the back of his head.  The top has seemed to stop growing and is shaping up to be in a lovely Eddie Munster front comb unless I can swoop it to the side for at least a more appropriate comb over.  We are hoping this month brings more length to the top.  What is also weird about his hair is that the top is stick straight and the back is super curly...should be interesting as it gets longer.  I am thinking curly mullet.  Jokes, really.  He'll probably have a buzz cut like older bro Jameson.

He is down to about three bottles a day and takes about an hour morning nap (if we are home) and a three hour afternoon nap.  He is still my happy big little guy...at least, when he is not cutting teeth, which he now has eight.  Two came in within 24-hours, that made for a fun day!

He is still just talking baby language with lots of da, da, da, ba, da, ga, ba, da, etc.  In the morning we wake up to him practicing these "words" in all different octaves and then laughing at himself.  I love listening in the monitor for a minute before I go and get him up for the day.  What a goofball!

His fav spot - inside the dishwasher.

I am already missing all things "baby" about him but am excited to see where his toddlerhood takes us.  I see a lot of Brooklyn's feisty, stubborn ways in him but he is also super goofy like Jameson.  I think it will make for the perfect combo.

He also finally mastered the sippy cup!

No weight/height stats for you.  We'll be back to see Dr. Low in November for his one year check.  Ugh, he'll be one!  That freaks me out.  Til' Then!
