10 Month Old!

Easter Sunday just happens to also be Elijah's 10 month birthday!!! :-) 

How fun and crazy it is to think that my baby boy is already 10 months!

We Cannot believe it!! 

He's sure a delight and we love him to pieces.

New fun facts about our little man:

*Weighs about 19-20 pounds

*Still crawling all over and into everything

*Pulling himself up to stand now like a pro

*Almost always loves to eat- cheese sticks, toast, yogurt, and his little crackers are his new favorite

*Still loves to read, pulls his books out, pats the pets on his books

*Jabbers away all the time, with increased drool lately

*LOVES to clap- and does it almost all the time on cue

*Learned how to praise Hallelujah!

*Baths are now part of every night routine- his favorite part of the day!

*Still not a huge fan of sunglasses- but he'll have to learn to like them quickly for Spring/Summer!

*His daddy is his biggest fan- and E always smiles for Daddy more than anyone

*Sitting in church is almost impossible now- he's just too busy and active and noisy!

*Now has his 2 lower center teeth coming up-Neither are visible enough for a picture yet though.

*VERY expressive. For the good or bad. Either Very happy, or very upset! :)

*Gets comments on his crazy facial expressions more than anything- after the hair/eyes comments!

*Is in need for an upgrade out of the infant car seat- his feet hang off the end!

*Cuddled more this month with Mommy then he had since he was a newborn (only due to high temperatures and teething-- but I enjoyed the snuggles)

*Loves going to the park, swings are his current favorite

*Got to meet his first cousin- Nathan. They will be great buddies growing up!

*Wears size 6-12 month clothes. Still fits in some 6 month, most are 9 month!

*Still sleeping 12 hours every night-~about 8-8. And takes at least 2 naps a day, sometimes 3!

Last but not least...

*Is VERY difficult to sit, pose, and smile on cue for pictures! :-)

Here are some fun photos from Elijah's 10 month photo shoot with me today!

We love you, sweet Elijah.

We thank God everyday for the amazing blessing you are to us.

You light up our lives with your smiles.

We could listen to you jabber and babble all day- and can't wait till you call us Mama and Dada!

You make us want to be better people.

We pray that we can raise you to be an honorable man who loves the Lord.

We love you with all our hearts. 

It's been an amazing 10 months... and can't wait for many, many more with you! 

Love you, peanut.
