At Ten Months...

Ben:

• is 19.5 lbs and 28.5 inches. I was shocked that he is so long! He's still only 20th percentile for weight and 40th for height but you'd never guess that looking at him. He has some serious cheeks!
• wears 6-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
• says go, go, go! He specifically says it during football games. It's possible he's learning this behavior from his Gigi (she gets quite wild during sporting events).
• is one fast crawler. He has taken off and really needs to be watched at all times. It is going to be quite exciting around here when we get our Christmas tree up!
• can cruise around furniture.
• finally has two teeth! His two bottom middle teeth have finally popped through. I was pretty sad about losing that cute toothless baby look but Ben with teeth is pretty darn cute too!
• no longer enjoys wearing hats. This is unfortunate because it is colder than cold.
• loves to read and turns the pages in his books.
• feeds himself little dry things (like paper or small toys and sometimes Cheerios).
• drinks from a sippy cup.
• is very excited for Christmas!
