10 Months Old

Only two more months and we'll have a one-year old. But we're enjoying ten months old while it lingers. He enjoys feeding himself puffs. He'll either chew them, or sorta wait for them to dissolve in his mouth before he swallows. We tried him out on the Gerber Stage 3 food that has small pieces for babies to chew, but he's been doing a lot of gagging on that. So we'll hold off and try again later. At this rate he may not be eating his own birthday cake :)

Matthew is a such a fun baby, and we both have a great time with him. He's a good boy about naps, and he knows how to entertain himself while I wash dishes or prepare dinner. He can also be a major cuddler, which Josh and I both love. And he's such a goofball. He makes faces and laughs at silly things. He's also perfecting his clapping and waving, though he hasn't waved for the camera yet.

I was on the computer for a little while, and Matthew was in the other room. Then I started to hear him complain and whine a bit, and when I checked on him, he was mostly under the coffee table. He was trying to get out, but every time he tried to go forward, he would go backwards instead :)

Whatcha doin', Mom?

Hey, let me try the camera out.

All bundled up to play in the snow.

Looking oh-so thrilled with the experience.

Um, Dad, could you help me out here?

Josh was wrestling with him on the couch, and his hair was full of static--I just had to snap a picture. Also, notice how much those top teeth are starting to show.

And a final favorite video for your enjoyment.
