Ten Months Old

Evan turned ten months old on Sunday, June 7. Our little guy is getting bigger every second. It is so hard to keep up, hence, while this blog post is belated! :)

There is so much to report on what he can do at ten months old; I will do my best to recap everything.

-He can give you a high five (usually you say "hi five" and he enjoys when you hit his hand and he gets a big smile on his face).

-He can climb, if toys are in his way he will use them to climb on and over. He especially loves to try to climb the couch and pillows to attempt to pull and play with the blind cords. Sneaky little guy!



-He loves to try to press the buttons on the laptop when Mommy is using it on the couch.

-He is a true entertainer and can be found making us crack up by making super silly faces and playing with straws. Here he is at a restaurant having a blast with a straw, such a character.

He also loves to make this scrunched up face. I don't know where he learned how to do this, but he does it all the time now. So funny! He thinks it is funny too, look at the below picture.

Here he is doing it again, the best is that when you scrunch up your face at him, he will do it back to you, and sometime he even snorts when he does it or growls. He loves to mimic and will laugh when you laugh and stick your tongue out when you stick yours our or make noises (especially the mooter boat noise or bubbles) with it just as you do.

He also learned how to do the fish face. No picture yet, but super cute in person!

-Evan continues to love toys. Here he is playing with some of his favorites.

Balls are a big hit more than ever now. This is his new favorite that he just wouldn't let go of in Toys "R" Us, so Jim and I had to buy it for him. He can pick it up and throw it and he loves to look at you through its holes.

He got to play with this new mat.

Playing with his airplane shape sorter with Grandpa.

-More teeth, he now has four on top and four on bottom, they are not all the way in yet, but coming down. Which has allowed for a few fussy days and lots of biting (we are working on stopping him from biting Mommy and Daddy). Here is a shot of Evan upside down, trying to get his precious teeth in the picture. He loves to be upside down and wants to play this game forever so it was quite easy to get this shot.

You can see Evan's teeth in this picture too! Gotta love that face! :)

-Food continues to be going okay. He is not a fan of the Stage 3 as of now, too big and chunky. Evan has a pretty sensitive gag reflect and when anything big goes in he gags and it comes right back out. No fun for any of us! One solution has been giving him food in these nifty little food strainer bags. Here he is having his first taste of a real strawberry.

-Evan loves going to the park and the freedom of crawling around on the grass and playing in the dirt if there is some present. Here he is playing with my chip bag, another favorite past time. Below is another picture of him standing at his booster chair. We got to go on a lunch time picnic with Daddy at Midu Park. it was so much fun!

-Evan started standing by himself last month, but here is a little video of him in action on May 14th. It is so neat to think he started by standing all by himself and then taking a few little steps and now almost completely walking!



-Here is a little video of Evan taking a few steps and saying Mama. He has been taking a few steps since the middle of May, but it was hard to get it on video, because he always wants to get the camera. However, I finally got him in action and saying Mama at the same time! Another neat thing he started doing right after Mother's Day. I am so proud! However, it appeared that when he started saying Mama it was always associated with whinnying. I used to joke with Jim that Dada was always said in such an up beat manner. However, no mater how it comes out, it is music to my ears! :)



-Here is a picture with Evan and his Daddy in his Oakland A's overalls from Pops and GrandDeb.

Happy 10 months Evan - we love you and are so proud of you!!!!
