Ten Months

We've entered double digits territory here!

Now if only mother nature would change as fast going forward as my son is growing each day :/ We had a late well baby visit last week, and as usual, they are never as heavy as my arms could swear they are!

Weight: 21 lbs. 3 oz (52nd%)

Height: 30.5 in (95th%)

12 to 18 month clothing seem to be the norm around here, with even some 2 piece pajamas being 24 mo/2 t. I've never had a child reach and exceed the 20 pound mark before a year old. In fact, it isn't until a couple months late they make that milestone. Something tells me Alden is going to taller and maybe bigger than his big brother....and possibly sooner then Nolan knows.

Milestones:

Easter egg hunt and church celebration

Practicing on balancing on 2 feet without using any hands ( I think first steps are not too far away)

Inaugural first spaghetti meal

Two new top teethers!

As Alden grows and developes in personality and desires, I've noticed how he's becoming more feisty when interacting with Nolan. He'll put up much more of a fight over a toy and is increasingly wanting to scout out what the big kids are doing. Eliza has also been showing an increased interest in him and will ask to hold him on her lap.....Well lets change that to, "picks up brother" and take him to the couch. She'll even try and dance with him, holding his hands while he stands. All the while I am having to remind her to "slow dance" until he gets his jitterbug legs.

One thing is for certain.....he is a mommas boy! Those eyes will track the momma bird when temporarily placed with daddy. Sometimes cooking becomes a bit interesting as we make laps around the kitchen island, trying to catch a hold of my legs. 

I guess I should start planning that 1st birthday celebration.....
