10 Months

Our little man is: Standing, taking steps, saying a few words, recognizing people, Afraid of old men (but aren't we all?), learning to play with toys, getting off of furniture by himself, climbing stairs, running from mom when he is in trouble, becoming more independent, still sleeping between mom and dad (sleeping through the night with no bottle!), toothless!

We got our first ear infection (make that a double) experienced a fun allergic reaction to amoxicillin, got a cold for three weeks, watched a lot of Toy Story, played in the bathtub to our hearts content (and splashed the bathroom till it was soaked.)

He loves his daddy-friend, and greets everyone who comes to the door with a smile. (Except old men. We went over that right?)

He likes to drum on the floor with his drumsticks, play piano on the ipad,
and babble baby talk all day. He is constantly climbing on things he isn't supposed to and constantly throwing himself off of them. He has lots of
cuts and bruises to prove that he always goes back for seconds.

We love him :) we will keep him.

9 Months

Our little Tai man was a skunk for Halloween. He stayed awake long enough to earn us some great candy, then fell asleep right before he could win the Kings photo competition. (Lazy, pure laziness.) Also the skunk suit was made to fit a 3 year old. My kid isn't that huge. We just figured extra leg space = extra warmth.

Heck yes. (Watching him crawl around with a foot of leg space dragging behind him was the highlight of the night.)

On a side note-every person at the trunk or treat picked out something "suitable for a baby." Either they thought we would actually feed it to our nine month old, or they were plotting against us. Regardless, the lady who picked out malted milk balls obviously had a death wish for Tai. Seriously. Who picks out Malted Milk Balls and says "he will love these." Um. Yeah. Love to get those throat sized things lodged in his windpipe....

Sorry.

Anyways.

We also humiliated him this month by making him wear a panda hat to Walmart, a mustache pacifier...everywhere, and dressing him like a girl (okay that was my little sisters babysitting him.)

Ahhh. The real reason people have kids. Humiliation 101.

Other milestones-caught him trying to take a bath in the toilet, and he ate toilet paper for breakfast.

To mix that up we attempted making him sleep in his crib, and you can pretty much see how that went...

This is the life ;)
