Happy 10 Months Old to Alex!
Here is what he is up to these days:
*Still obsessed with golf clubs and a close second is the vacuum.

*Loves outside - would spend all day outside if he could. His favorite outside activity: rocks! He likes to walk on them, throw them, carry them around, put them in and out of his wheelbarrow (mostly throw them out).
*He must always carry something in his hand when he walks around the house and will pause often to switch the object from hand to hand.
*He just started pulling up on everything this week: the couch, coffee table, window sills, his crib (excellent activity for nap time)....

*He can do a little cruising on the furniture, but sometimes just moves his hands and forgets about his feet ;)

*Does this funny little thing when he plays - he will use his feet to move himself around in circles - and will do this randomly while playing - I am pretty sure he is surveying the room to see if there is anything better he needs to be doing.
*Still just has 2 bottom teeth, but it appears the top 2 are coming soon.
*He is still a good eater and prefers to feed himself finger food. He likes peas, toast, cheerios, sweet potatoes, carrots, and I swear he would eat a whole banana for breakfast.
*Is starting to understand some basic words. If we say "where is the fan?" - he will look up to the fan, etc. He can do this for books, clocks, mommy, daddy, Buddy, airplanes, vacuum, golf clubs, etc.
*Loves to watch for airplanes outside and when he hears them while he is inside, he will stop and listen and sometimes go over to the window.
*Likes to watch for birds, squirrels, cars, etc. out our front window.
