You are such a happy, sweet baby!  Everywhere we go people stop me and tell me how cute you are.  At the grocery store people talk to you constantly and you love smiling at them and waving.  We have been participating in lots of play dates recently and you seem to like interacting with other kids. You are not so sure about them playing with your toys, especially your prized orange slinky.

10 months! This week you are cruising around the little red ottoman in your room.  You can pull yourself up and get all the way around without help. You also stacked three wooden blocks on top of each other.  You want to play at night instead of sleep and are often up from midnight to 3 am- yikes.  You are too busy learning new things!

 This week we went to the Dallas Arboretum to see the pumpkin village.  There were so many cool pumpkins and we had fun taking tons of pictures of you with them.

You eat dinner with us every night sitting in your bumbo on the table.  We put little bites of our dinner on your tray and you pick them up and eat them.  The whole eating thing is really coming together now and you are actually consuming these bites instead of playing with them and dropping them in your lap (although, quite a few crumbs end up down there still).  Currently, you seem to really like strawberries and shredded cheese.  You also ate hot dogs, kidney beans, eggs, blood oranges and mushrooms for the first time this week.
