10 months old!

10 months old...I can't believe it!! Jack amazes me everyday...he literally does something new or has a new sound each day. His newest sound is the "mmm" sound. I think all of my repetition of saying "mom" is starting to pay off. :)  He is still crawling everywhere but he wants to walk. He has discovered how to push the kitchen chairs all over the house as he walks. He will crawl over to you and then want to stand and have you hold his hands so he can walk. Gabe and I try to get him to take a few steps on his own but he gets so excited he just falls.
Jack's newest favorite toys are any type of ball. We have a football and baseball that he likes to play with and chase around the house. We bought a light bat and ball today and Jack hasn't put them down. This kid is all boy! He is rough and tumble...gets his bumps and bruises, but keeps on going.
Jack is starting to eat different types of solid foods and we are experimenting with different tastes. We have found that he really likes pancakes for breakfast....he HATES macaroni and cheese...and he is still a bottle baby. That seems to be the only way to get him to sleep. That might be the hardest habit to break.
Speaking of sleep, he has really become a consistent sleeper. He normally goes to bed around 7:30 pm and will sleep in until 6:15-6:30 am. I am completely fine with his sleep schedule because I am a morning person as well. :)  He still takes 2 naps--his first nap is around 10am and his second nap is around 3:30pm. I am ready for him to condense these into 1 really long nap, but I will take the down time during the day any way that I can!
Jack is such a happy guy. He loves to imitate Gabe and his face lights up when Gabe and I come into the room. He is so much fun to be around and I look forward to coming home from work everyday just to hang out with him.

These pictures were difficult to get--this kid doesn't like to sit still!

Love this picture because he is so excited!

He loves this bat!
