Graham at 10 Months

This easygoing little boy turned 10 months old yesterday and I don't like it. Time is moving way too fast. He continues to be adored by his sisters and brother and as long as they're around, he's usually very entertained and pretty happy.

He continues to be incredibly quick to return a smile, even mid-tears, and he loves to flirt and charm strangers.

He started moving a little right after 9 months, and in the last couple of weeks has really started getting around. He's still just army crawling, but that's enough to cause a lot of trouble. Back to baby-proofing!

He's also super-chatty and I sometimes have to pop the binky in his mouth if it's a bad time for a loud baby. "Da" is his favorite sound and is actually what we named "his" fish when we got pet fish last week. He's waving, but doesn't have a lot of other consistent party tricks at this point.

He's still nursing in the morning and late afternoon, and taking a formula bottle at bedtime. He's become quite a fan of mealtimes and eats solid - and baby - food well. He's napping twice, for about an hour in the morning and for a couple of hours in the afternoon. He's been sleeping through the night for about 6 weeks now. Hallelujah! He's an early riser, but so am I, so it usually works out okay.

I really can't say enough about what a happy little guy he is or how much joy he's brought to our lives. You're a blessing, Graham, and we love you SO much!
