10 months

I swear I was just writing his "9 months" post a week ago. Evidently not...

This week has been filled with snotty noses. Ben got a cold last week and passed it on to Ethan. He, and therefore I, were covered with snot for two days. He's on the mend now, but unfortunately both Lexie and I are now getting sick. Anyway, due to sickness and tiredness this hasn't been my favorite week.

What can I tell you about 10 months....

Ethan is getting more teeth. He is finally getting those middle top teeth. One has poked through and the other will come in any day. He is also getting another tooth on the bottom. He is going to look so different with a mouth full of teeth! I think that I have taught him how to give a high 5. That's the first thing I feel like I have actually taught him to do, so I get excited every time he does that. We are still working on waving and clapping. I try to encourage him every day and nothing--he has no interest at all. I'm sure he'll get it, but not yet. He's cruising around the furniture all the time and I can't keep him out of anything. He still loves eating. Anytime anyone has food he high tails it over to them, climbs up on their leg, and looks up with big wide eyes just waiting. Really, he's like a little puppy dog begging for scraps at the table. It's impossible to resist. Consequently, he's been trying all sorts of new foods. We are slowing working towards eating more table food (as opposed to baby food). I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now.
