On Tuesday Jr. turned 10 months old. 10 months is great. He is a funny little person and man is he starting to get in to everything. Plus he is on the move. Although it isn't a textbook crawl, Jr. has begun to army crawl like a regular old Army Ranger. He takes off out of his room and makes it to the kitchen in no time flat.
He is working on pulling himself up. I read an article about 10 month olds and the article said that one day you will turn around and you will see your kid has pulled himself up onto some furniture and then they won't know how to get down. That is exactly what happened. I set him on the bathroom floor, went into his room to get his towel and wash cloth and when I came back around the corner, he had pulled himself up on the side of the bathtub. Now it is constant, he pulls himself up on his toybox, the side of his crib, me, chairs, dogs, the toilet. Next step walking.
He has also begun to turn off the lights for us, unplug appliances for us, unpack laundry baskets for us and help us file paperwork. He is so helpful! The finger for pointing is also SUPER effective at popping out those pesky outlet covers to protect babies from sticking things in electrical outlets. One small flick with THE FINGER and those suckers go flying.
As for a tooth update, it appears after just about three months of working on the top ones, the two front teeth have officially poked through. I feel bad for him, they look REALLY painful, but I also kind of feel bad for us.
We really need to spend this weekend childproofing. Although, I imagine that no childproofing we do will slow this kid down.

We hope that Jr learns how to walk before he begins running! FIL
I think Jr. has the will and drive of his parents! IMAGINE THAT! He'll be rowing a boat in no time. I think he needs some Becky kisses...
You KNOW, I was just remarking about how there has not been enough Becky kisses lately. How to fix?
