Double digit months here we come!!!

Moving moving everywhere! Last month he used to slowly push his walker from one wall to the next. Now- he’s running!!!

He has 2 teeth and even though I miss his gummy smile I think he’s even cuter with his two little teeth! This month was a little rough. Howie got hand, foot, mouth which was no fun but he’s a trooper. And despite not feeling well our happy Howie was still happy and giggly and as wonderful as can be. I loved the extra snuggles too!

We also have our first word ladies and gents! He said bye bye! I feel like his next word isn’t too far off either. That kid loves to babble still. The more he talks the more we get to see who Howie is going to be. It’s pretty amazing to see his little personality grow everyday.

We’re also getting ready for his first Christmas and how magical it is! He LOVES Christmas lights. Watching him when he saw our tree for the first time, ugh I can’t even begin to describe how big my heart grew. The wonder that is in an 10 month olds eyes and brain and heart – I could write a book it makes me so happy to see! It’s something I will cherish forever.

I wish I could take a mental video everyday to remember. Thank goodness for lots of pictures! I just can’t believe we’re in the home stretch of his first year. How is that even possible?
