Meghan: 10 Months!

Our little man is 10 months old!! Currently he loves pulling himself up to a standing position, throwing things (especially food) and seeing what happens, playing in the dishwasher, copying us, crawling away from daddy and screaming when he chases him, clapping, singing to himself, bath time, pulling items out of bags and bins, slamming his hands on surfaces like his high chair tray, the table, keyboards, etc., and he still likes electronics a little too much for mom and dad's liking this early in the game.

He finally got his first tooth a little over a week ago and he's really starting to show us his fun and silly personality. We just love our little guy more and more every day!

Also, we went over to see our friends Stephanie and Jack's new baby and I really cannot believe Nolan was ever that tiny! Where did my baby go?!

Beautiful rainbow after swimming last week!

It was actually a full, double rainbow, but this was the best I could capture.

Copy cat!

A craft Nolan made at Jeanni's for us!

Jeanni had to leave town unexpectedly to take care of her dad in Colorado for a few days so Justin and I did some juggling and alternated staying home with Nolan. Honestly, I had a bit of a struggle when I was home with him. I think it was mostly because I was trying to get a full day of work in while taking care of him, not to mention the fact that we're sure he's teething because he was super clingy and whiny whenever I was even 5 feet away from him. He was constantly crying when I wasn't holding him, but I couldn't have him anywhere near my laptop or he would try to type on it (read: slam his hands on it) and I was trying to meet deadlines. It just wasn't a good combination unfortunately.

Finally the last day I smartened up and just took most of the day off, only worrying about work while he was napping. He also must have been feeling much better because we had the best day together just hanging out, doing laundry, napping, shopping, and snuggling. I sure love my little man!

He still loves electronics (here is is stealing my portable mouse) and books!

Cutest little laundry helper

"Pay attention to me mommy!" Oh, how can I resist that face?! Stupid work.

We went on a little outing and he was an absolute angel. Such a good boy and so happy the whole time we were shopping! Also, he looks way too much like a little boy in this picture. You're still my baby you know!

His favorite plaything one day was the kitchen table!

I put him down for a nap and walked in a few minutes later to find this little munchkin standing up waiting for me. I guess he just needed to snuggle because I laid down on the bed next to him and he fell right asleep. No complaints here! He is the BEST snuggler.
