Perfect 10 (8 and 9 Months)

My darling baby boy - you are absolutely perfect - even when you are not being perfect (like your crazy-pajama-cry-wrestle-fest each night:) Mommy is a little behind on your updates, so to catch up, a few highlights from your 8th month:

- You are one super-duper expressive baby! You have a facial expression for just about every single thing you do. That little heart-shaped tongue of yours makes apperances all the time. At 8 months you figured out your coordination for crawling...well sorta. You perfected the army crawl. You use your little foot as a rudder and pull yourself forward with your arms - one of the most endearing baby crawls I have ever seen.

- You love spending time with your daddy, and it looks as if you have many things in common, incluing your love for the Olympics! You sat on daddy's lap and danced along with the closing ceremony music.

- Every month has stunned me - you continue to change at such a rapid rate. I thoroughly enjoyed your 9th month! You are such a delight - your ready smile and laugh fill our lives with such joy. You are a mover and a shaker, taking any chance you can to dance, jump and sing along to any song. You are also a very social little guy, you learned to wave, and not just any wave, but double wave! In the begining of your wave learning, you seemed to be confused as to who was moving your hands:) You would wave with each hand, then stare at each little finger waving. You would then stop waving with one hand and slowly grab one of the waving hands and giggle as you continued to watch the crazy waving hand!

- Your first time at the Puyallup Fair, riding around in your Little Red Radio Flyer:)

- Your 10th month has increased our joy 10 fold - how can you continue to fill our days with such love and wonder? You often get so excited that you squeal with such delight you almost lose your breath! You wave your arms and legs around with complete glee when you see daddy or I come into a room. Daddy and I are always smiling and laughing at your antics. You also have this crazy Chewbacca (nerd reference, daddy will fill you in later) sound you love to make, gurgling happily along! You have continued to demonstrate a very social attitude - you smile and wave at nearly everyone. Oh, and the cuddling - this makes my day that you are such a sweet little cuddle bug!

- First trip to the pumpkin patch with our little pumpkin

- Topping off your 10th month with the fun of dressing up as Captain America! Since we call you baby A, we thought this would be the perfect outfit for you - just as you are the perfect baby for us!
