10 months

Baby is almost 10 months old which I am still in denial about. He won't be officially ten months until next week so I'm still calling him my 9 month old. 

And he's just the sweetest thing. I love kissing his big soft cheeks and squishing his juicy thighs. I'm definitely #1 though he usually only says mama when he's upset. Most of the time he just says dadada. He is into everything. Often pulls drawers and cupboards open and pulls everything out. It's his favorite activity. He has been taking lots of steps all by himself and it's so cool to watch. He'll sometimes take ten steps at a time before he settles back into crawling the rest of the way. He has recently gotten over being sick for a couple weeks so it's been nice having a healthy happy baby again. He still hasn't slept through the night, though usually I don't mind. I know cosleeping doesn't work for everyone but it's my most favorite thing. Convenient for night nursing and more than that I just love having him so close. It just feels so right to me. And way too soon he will be ready to move on to his own bed just like Ezra did so I'm going to savor these moments.
