Happy 10 Months, Sam!

I think the past month has gone by the fastest.  Like, blinked, and *poof*, gone. Like, no way this just happened. 

At 10 months Sam is crawling like it's his job, cruising around the table, pulling himself up onto everything, still sleeping all night long (YES!), eating less purees and more our food, laughing more, and loves his cars and trucks.  It's so hard to believe that he'll be one so soon!  (For family reading wondering when we're going to celebrate, we're going to wait until after Christmas :-)  )

We have permission to start very little cow's milk in his sippy cup, and from11 months to one year will transition to whole milk.  I've been pumping at work to give him exclusively breast milk for the first year.  While I've been successful and grateful for the support of my work, I'm anxious to put the breast pump away. 

Sam now has his top two teeth and a third one on the bottom for a total of 5 teeth (toothies, according to Abby).  He's chomping on cheerios, soft veggies, meat, and pasta.  He even had his first few bites of macaroni and cheese! It looks like there are several more teeth coming in!

 

Our happy guy is pretty awesome!
