Little boy

Yes, before you continue, just know that this is another one of those sappy "they grow up so fast" entries =)

I've been feeling extra sentimental as I start the plans for Justin's 1st birthday. This has been THE fastest year of my life- ever. I always peek in on Justin before I go to bed. Just to give him an extra kiss and make sure he has a blanket still on. While last night I welled up with tears. He was wearning this little Buzz lightyear pajama set. He was sleeping on his belly with 1 arm above his head, gripping his teddy bear with the other arm, mouth wide open. He looked so sweet, so handsome and so much like a little boy. Yep. Like a little boy- not like a little baby. As much as I have that "itch" to have a little baby again. I don't think I would like one for awhile now. I am LOVING this time with Justin and I "alone" as he grows up. I think every baby deserves that time before the next comes. I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything in the world.

double digits!!!

10 months old. WOW. I just can't believe it. Once again I find myself saying that this is the age I would keep him at forever. He has SUCH a personality and keeps me laughing all day long.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm his mom but I think he is super intelligent. He is developing more skills everyday and it's sooo awesome to watch the "gears turn" when he looks at something. We have this reading lamp on our bed and he knows how to turn the little dial to make it go on. He actually plays with his toys, like he'll push his trucks around making a motor noise. He will throw you the ball if you ask him. He "talks" pretty much every waking moment. He says Dada, BaBa, Mama and Book (if you're lucky). He's cruising the furniture like an old pro. He also "walks" on his knees, it's adorable. He walks around the house pushing his highchair and babbling away. It's a little scary that everything in our house within 3 feet of the floor is fair game. He's been doing his "no-no" trick for about 2 or 3 weeks now. If you ask him a question he shakes his head back and forth- for "no". He's working on waving and has perfected "gimme five" this week. I'm putting my foot down and limiting his TV so he is allowed about 15 mins a day- just enough time for me to make my coffee! It's funny because he doesn't even seem to like TV. He only likes the theme songs, then he crawls away to play, I'm relieved. Here is Mr Gorgeous this morning.
