0-10 in, well, 10 months

Ten months in and Mr. Tyler is getting busier and busier every day!  He is always on the move, always climbing, and usually smiling.  He...

.... loves to bang things together, especially blocks, or run toys across the walls.

... squeals and claps when he's really happy!

... still just says "eeeeee" all the time!  Will the boy every talk???

... is cruising up and down the couch and table but still pretty wobbly when you try and walk with him.

... has figured out how to put the magnets on and off the fridge.

... climbs up on the picnic table we got for Kayla to color on.  Climbs right up on the bench then the table - usually going after crayons.
... can climb all the way up the stairs, mostly without falling though I have caught him a couple times as I walk behind him.

...loves to be thrown in the air, swung around, hung upside down, kind of wrestled with on the ground.....little daredevil!

... likes textures - always has, just forgot to include it.  When he was younger he ran his hand over the carpet for a long time, then when we broke out the touch and feel books he found the textures immediately, he loves sand... it's all good!
... loves water, and water fountains, and water splashes, and water being poured over his head... still.

... has 2 little teeth on the bottom and more have got to be coming.  But just those 2 have helped him eat just about anything.


... he can and does eat chicken, beans, bread, bananas, avocados, ground beef, gold fish, veggie straws, apple slices, chicken nuggets, breadsticks, pears... anything you want.  I don't give him the jarred foods much anymore, but I do try to get him to suck down some of those pouches that Kayla likes so much as well. 

... he doesn't like to hold the slimy stuff though - avocados, eggs, ham.  He'll eat them but he doesn't want to touch them.

... still wakes up multiple times a night.  :-(  Will this ever end???  And now he's taken to being wide awake in the middle of the night so that totally sucks.  I'm blaming it on teething now.  I should have stuck with the cry it out months ago.  It's kinda too late to do it now because now he's in the middle of teething and could actually be hurting or he could just be really determined and persistent and cry forever!

... this his sister carrying him around is funny.... until he doesn't.

... but he does love it when she plays with him - best part of his day!
... takes 2 naps a day, one around 9:30 or 10 for 45 minutes and one around 1:45 or 2 for 2 hours.

... still nurses every 2 - 2.5 hours unless we're out and busy or I'm not around.

... loves to look through bars - gates, cribs - hopefully it's not a glimpse into our future.  :-)

... still looooooves wheels!  Even wheels that are just stickers!
... has figured out how to put just about everything in his mouth.  He probably figured that out a month or two ago but geez... everything... all the time!

...ends up crawling under a lot of things - tables, chairs, tunnels, firetrucks...whatever.

... if you stack up blocks he always just tries to take the top one off.  Kayla used to knock them all down, still does, but he just wants to take the top one and play with it.

... likes to play peek a boo - pulls sheets off his head, peeks from behind the curtains, behind your hands, it's all great.

... picks books out of the drawers but doesn't really like to read much yet.  At night I can usually get through Goodnight Moon a couple times but only if I point everything out.  Otherwise he just wants to flip, push, pull, and tear the pages.

... loves all of us - lights up and crawls toward us whenever we enter the room (dad comes home, Kayla wakes up from a nap, etc).  I can't speak for them, well, I guess I could, but that absolutely makes my day! 
... he's such a cute little kid and I am so happy he's my little boy!
