Walking and TALKING

Our little man is off and running. Well not quite running yet, but he is definitely a full time walker and it's so cute. He's still a little wobbly at times but going to the shoe store this week and getting his first pair of kicks should help him gain some stability. We already found a pair online to  match Tyler.

But more impressive than him walking at 10 months, is his vocabulary at such a young age. And not only vocabulary, but comprehension and understanding of the words he uses. For example, one of his new words is "hot." But not only can he say it, if I give him his waffle in the morning and its still a little warm, he knows to say "hot!" Or when he gets in the carseat when the car has been in the sun, "hot!" Some other words he's been using are "all done" and "eyes."  OHHHH and are favorite new thing he does is when you ask him "Kase, what does a lion say?!" He growls at you!! And it is the most adorable thing ever.

I have to admit I'm a proud momma. It is such a joy watching him grow from a little baby (I will miss that stage immensely) to a walking, talking toddler. He is going to keep us all on our toes, that's for sure!!

Some Recent Pics

Playtime in a giant box is always fun

Brushing his teeth before bed

Someone gave us these sandals. Very cute, but he did not like them.

Playing in the fridge AGAIN

He pulled the tie right when I shot the picture!

Saying goodbye to Uncle Kyle who moved to LA

Ty said he held this the entire time he was in the bath

Looking cool with Mommy

10 months old going on 2 years

So it's been a while since I have updated things on here, but I have a good excuse...
This kid keeps me so busy, I don't have time to sit for 5 minutes!  He is in to everything. He is too smart for his own good and my own good! But I am having the best time ever with him. It's so much fun watching him grow and develop into a little person. We keep saying he is a two year old trapped in a 10 month old's body. But we can't even say that because he's as tall as most two year olds. He's already 2 1/2 feet tall and 20 1/2 lbs. The list of his recent accomplishments and milestones is a mile long. Here are a few examples of his new tricks:
*Waves bye-bye
*Claps his hands
*Can say several words like "night night" "hot" and of course everything is "dada"
*And now within the past 3 days, he is walking!!!!

This mommy is very proud. It's still freaking me out a little bit, that my baby isn't going to be a baby much longer. Soon he will be a toddler running around and talking and driving me crazy, I'm sure. But through all these changes and accomplishments, he has kept his sweet spirit and beautiful smile. I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to spend my days watching him grow and learn. I told Tyler the other day, that even if I have a bad day whether it's cuz I'm tired or he's not napping, or he's being needy and wanting to nurse every hour or screaming all day, that even then its still not a bad day, because I got to spend it home with my baby. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'd take a bad day with him over going to work any day.

His first birthday is sneaking up around the corner and we are already thinking of party ideas. I'll let you know what we decide soon!!
