10 Months

I know that this post may not be in the exact correct order, but I wanted to make sure I got it done while I still remember what Banks is doing at 10 months old. Banks is still eating his puree food really well, even stage 3, but he is still not too fond of any table food or anything he has to chew. That includes puffs, which most babies love. From what I hear, "food before one is just for fun," so we're not going to worry too much yet. The plus side to him not eating finger foods is that he gets to stay in nursery 1 at his daycare for longer and not move up to the next room. Momma's not ready for that step yet!

Banks still isn't walking quite yet, but he is SO very close. He is pulling up and letting go and standing for several seconds without holding on to anything. He is such a happy little guy overall and just such a pleasure to be with. I miss him when I'm away from him just for a few hours. He loves to clap his hands and he has steady been saying, "dada" for about a month now. He is just starting to say, "mama" occasionally, which makes my heart jump every time! :-)

He is starting to sleep through the night again, with the help of teething tablets, as his teeth are coming in like CRAZY! He is also doing better with not fighting us to go in his high chair and car seat like he was for awhile. Separation anxiety is beginning to set in when I drop him off at daycare in the mornings, but the ladies in the nursery (Jeri and Beverly) are so wonderful with him. I think they want to hold on to him in nursery 1 too! Who doesn't want to spend as much time as possible with this sweet baby though?! He's the best!
