10

Bennett is 10 months today and he has come alive this month.  From crawling everywhere to pulling to stand and cruising the furniture, he is an active little boy.  He often gets in Molly's water and food bowls and loves to put her food in her water.  The next stop on his path is the dishwasher.  Knives can no longer be put in the silverware area as he loads and unloads (mostly unloads) the silverware (clean and dirty.)  Next up is the bookshelf, he loves to clear it out.  The toilets have also been struck twice by his little hands so toilet seats have to be put all the way down.  So when I say he is into everything, he really is into everything.

Try and tell me that is not one of the most gorgeous and delicious babies you have ever seen (he is eating a powdered doughnut).  :)

He understands "no" and acts quite upset when he hears it.  Though no official words, he has a handful of consonant sounds with his favorite being "bo" and "hi" and an occasional "mo".  When hungry, he repeatedly goes "bo bo bo" (maybe for bottle ???).   His "hi" is often with a wave so maybe that is his first word... I dont know. 

On the move

His first tooth also came in this month... on the top.  I think his other front top tooth might be popping through in the next week because it is a little on the puffy side... still no bottom tooth though.

You can see the massive amount of drool... he has been one drooly baby.

He is just getting over his first cold of the season and slept pretty crappy last week but he is back to himself again!

He still loves his blankets and has multiple chill times each day just sucking on them.  Napping was not as good this month with some days only sleeping for a total of 2 hours.  We are down to 2 naps a day--- on an ideal day he would sleep from 9:30- 11:00 and then 3:00- 4:30 but as we all know, not all days are ideal.

The 10 month shot.

Bennett and Shepherd have been getting along pretty good.  Shepherd just rolls around on the floor with him and normally B is all about it.  Overall, Bennett has been less fussy with his brothers.  It is fun watching them now.  You can tell he really wants to get in with them most days.

And he discovered ice cream sandwiches and love is an understatement!  yum

So, only 2 months until 1 year! So crazy! He continues to be a happy baby and complete love!

Happy 10 months!

Check back tomorrow with our weekend beach post.  He took a little mini family vacay this past weekend and we had such a good time.... lots of pics tomorrow!  :)
