Officially Double Digits!

1-0!  Yes, 10 months!  I can't believe it... In fact, I think I am in the middle of having a panic attack (all while writing this) and in denial.  It was only a short year ago that we were showering baby "Dash" and now I am planning J's 1st Birthday Party!  C-R-A-Z-Y!

What a month it has been!  I feel Jameson has officially moved into new developmental territory and he is starting to pick up "toddler" traits...  What do I mean?  Well, J is now "SO BIG", CLAPPING with excitement and WAVING to say HI!  I feel like I see BIG kids doing all of these things and not my baby.  (again... denial!)

10 Month Statistics:

Weight: 23.6lbs

Height: I tried to get his length, 

but it was a losing battle that I was not going to win

Jameson = 1 Mommy = 0

Diaper Size: 4

Clothing Size: 12 month (a few 18 month)

On top of all of J's new tricks, he is now (practically) running around furniture, playing while standing up (mind you he has to be holding on to something) and kneeling to grab onto things.  He still isn't crawling, but like I keep saying, I truly believe he will not crawl and will go right to walking.  (although, he is mighty close to crawling and still gives it an A+ try everyday).

We are working on eating "real" meals throughout the day and really trying hard to get on a better eating schedule.  Jameson still prefers drinking a bottle, but he it getting better at finger foods.  Baby food is mostly out of the picture (he prefers to chew if he is not drinking a bottle) so it's my new challenge to figure out a) what he will eat and b) what is on the "allowable" list of foods for 10 month olds.  On a positive note, J is now able to feed himself and we are both much happier people!  It may be a messy, crazy time of day, but the screaming has decreased significantly and my blood pressure has returned (pretty much) to normal.

Nap time is a true Dream Come True!  (haha - I have to laugh because I still can't believe I went all those months without making J take a morning nap)  Jameson is now napping about an hour in the morning and about two hours in the afternoon!  Since he is REALLY keeping me on my toes these days, nap time is MY time and I am able to get a few things done around the house.  

10 Month Photo Shoot

(this is turning in a "real treat" - MAJOR sarcasm in that statement and you will soon see why)

I should have known this wasn't going to go well 

when (right from the beginning) I couldn't get J to look at the camera

 

NOT happy with the sticker on his shirt 

Tantrum #1
He was mad I took the sticker out of his hands.

I gave up on trying to get more pictures and this is what happened...

YUMMY!

(Again Jameson = 2 Mommy = 0)

 

Trying to get a couple pictures with the sign

These last 10 months have been absolutely, 100% the BEST 10 months of my life!  Jameson, you are my world and I love you with all my heart!  Happy 10 Month birthday "Mr. Man"
