Double Digits

My Gideon is 10 months old this week! I don't believe it. He's been out of me longer than in me. And he is currently sitting on my lap as I type this post with one hand. :)

He still has two teeth...I'm sure there are more. He's just in no hurry. Like with most things. 

 HAHA! At a retreat we went on, he thought the glass door was the best thing! 

 Getting started on the dental hygiene early.

Loves 'reading' his books!

 He reminds me a lot of his Daddy: simple, easy to please, and finds joy in most things.

Much like his Mama, he sleeps in the funniest of positions.

-He learned to wave! Cutest. Thing. Ever. I wished I had a video to show you.
-He is learning the meaning of 'no'. There are two things in our living room that he can't touch...and of course they are his favorite.
-He is approximately 30 inches long and 24 pounds. He's thinning out!
-Thinks that us smelling his armpits and toes and saying "pee-yew" is the FUNNIEST thing!
-Will drink from a bottle! I can hardly believe it myself. After 10 months he finally learned the milk tastes the same whether from a bottle or mama.
-Likes to crawl in his toy bin to reach things higher up.

P.S. I know I told you via facebook that I have a sorbet recipe! I do. I have to 'perfect' it one last time.

9 Months!

 I can hardly believe Gideon is already nine months old...two weeks ago. :-) He is such a joy. I've dreamed of being a mama since I first changed a diaper (my cousin, Christian) and rocked him to sleep. I don't know how old I was, but young. There was something special about it to me. Holding a baby sleeping in your arms. Obviously, until Gideon I always have held other peoples babies..he is mine though. Oh what a pleasure!

29 inches tall and 23 pounds! Solid 'little' man! 

 He loves to giggle and laugh at almost anything. Not very many things go in his mouth...yet. Just fingers, toes, and food.

 He loves to crawl..we thought he might skip this step and go straight to walking. He does pull himself up on anything that will hold him.

 

 "Dada" has been his first word, for sure! When Adam comes home he hears the door open and crawls as fast as he can down the hallway yell "dada dada" until he reaches his pant leg and lets out the biggest giggles and grins!

He makes some of the best faces! 

 My Gideon always wakes up with a smile on his face! He loves the morning, just like his mama! 

 Smiles!
