Ten months ago today our little bundle of energy was born. Hard to believe it was that long ago -- we still feel so new at all this parenting stuff. Though I think we're not half bad :)
Everyday Solly is learning new things -- he can clap, wave, do high-fives. He says mama and dada - though dada more which is extremly unfair considering I'm the one who suffered through the morning sickness :). He is close to walking on his own - he can push his toys or tables or chair or basically anything that will move. He pulls himself up and down and up and down - much to our amazement, but also frustration! Keeping his tush in the tub is quite a chore! His two bottom teeth are almost all the way in and I think another is on its way, given the fussiness and drooling of late.
Overall we are blessed to have such a sweet and fun and most of all HAPPY little guy. This kid just smiles and laughs all the time. And boy is he a flirt and he knows how to use that dimple!
But the absolute, without a doubt, cutest thing is watching him and Sammie play and interact. He gets how to play with Sam and her toys and likes sharing his food with her already - he giggles when she runs by him or kisses him and she is starting to understand that when he grabs her, it is out of love. Though we're still working on the concept of the "nice-touch". Oh and Daddy is getting him to work on his hand-motor stills, Solly can now put the shape in the box - you know, the square through the square hole, the circle through the round hole....he LOVES it. He's so proud of himself whenever it drops in there and we cheer and he cheers.
All in all - this is a wonderful time. So far, this is my favorite stage - though I'm told by those here before me that every stage becomes our favorite. But so far, this is my favorite :)
