10 months old

What is this?

Can I put it in my mouth?

Hey!

What can I get into??

I love to stand and walk all on my own!

Well they said this first year would fly and boy has it! Here we are at 10 months. Cooper is really becomming a blast. He is interacting and likes to copy what other people do. This month brought on a few more first. We saw Cooper's first steps and also his ability to communicate more with us. He loves to feed himself which has brought on a challenge of finding foods that he can eat on his own. His favorites are peas, cheese, and goldfish crackers. He has to eat what Rob and I eat and will check it out to make sure we are not trying to put one past him.


This month has also brought on a little bit of what the doctor called "stranger danger". Cooper knows that Rob and I are his mom and dad and does not like to be left with anyone else. I had a few days of being pulled out of my workout class because he was not happy I was gone. He still gets totally excited to see his dad and loves his daddy Cooper time every morning.

He has become a total cuddle bug and loves to give hugs and kisses. He has also learned to wave good-bye and to blow kisses which is a huge hit with all the girls at Mitchell's.

This month we also put up the Christmas tree so we have been working on him not touching things that don't belong to him. He is really understanding it and we can stop him about 95% of the time by just telling him not to touch it. So we will continue to work on that this month.


Your Baby Can Read is the video that we show him everyday and he has really taken to it. He now claps along with the song and if in the mood can point to the right flashcard when asked a word.

He is in love with music and loves to dance and clap and sometimes blab along with them. The girls at the daycare get a big kick out his dancing. I can't wait to get him into a music class.


Christmas is right around the corner and we can't wait to see what else this next month will bring.
