Look who's 10 months

Okay, so he turned 10 months old on the 26th of April, but I'm so on top of things. I blame the pregnancy exhaustion... made worse by having to carry this big ole' chunk around.

I think he might have been looking for food on our picnic blanket. :)

Poor kid. With an older sister, this is bound to be one of many pictures with a flower on his head. But isn't he cute?!

:
My happy, laid-back boy! At 10 months and 3 days he FINALLY started crawling! And for a week now he has not slowed down. Eva crawled the day before she turned 10 months, so we apparently just make lazy babies. :)

I also finally took him in for his 9 month check up this week. (Yes. Be jealous of my ability to get things done.) Here are his stats:
22.75 lbs (65%); 29 inches (55%); head was 46 cm (100%!).
He thoroughly enjoys:
- a game of peek-a-boo
- rolling a ball back and forth (he kind of hands it back or drops it and it rolls)
-L-O-V-E-S to eat. There are still few foods that he doesn't like, but at least I have found a few. He really enjoys scrambled eggs (w/ cheese please!) as well as all other breakfast foods, couscous, all things pasta, almond butter on bread, sweet potatoes, vegetables and fruits that he can pick up, bananas on a spoon (he gets mad if he has to pick them up b/c it makes him work too hard), yogurt, and cheerios. This list could go on. :)
He is still very happy... as long as he's rested and fed. I don't know anyone else like that... he must get that from his... never mind!

Eli, we love you more than ever! You are our joy!
