Happy Ten Month Birthday Cavin!

Back the truck up. 10 months???!!! Just yesterday I was bringing the little guy home from the hospital. Right?? Only two months until his first birthday by the way. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up to him doing algebra homework at the kitchen table.

This month Cavin found the Elmo sitting to be hilarious!


BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!

Behind all the humor? Meet Mr. Puppy the Puppet. One of Cavin's many friends that hang out in his room with him from day to day.

Apparently, Mr. Puppy the Puppet had some pretty funny things to tell him during the Elmo photos.

This month, the "mama" and "dada" debate continues. I think we agree that we have no clue. He stopped saying "mama" entirely for over a week. Then yesterday I picked him up at daycare, grabbed him from Pari's arms, he looked at me and said "ma". My heart leaped! He hadn't used his "m" consonant in over a week! But once we got home, everything in the house was "mama". Sigh. He has started to say "da" when he sees the dogs or cat so we have added to the discussions whether or not he is attempting to say "dog"?? I'm sure these debates will continue on for months...even years! Either way, we have some pretty fun conversations.

In other news, Cavin definitely understands when we say "No" and "Where's your ball?". He also is learning to clap his hands if we get him started by showing him first, he's standing on his own more and more now, and he loves gravity. Momma's breaking her back to pick up the towel and the sippy cup and the puff and the spoon oh and now the cracker and the toy and the sippy cup again and now the towel again....you get the idea.

In the most exciting news is that he will walk towards us while holding on to our hands! We even let go of his hands and he took two VERY baby steps by himself and splat! Fell to his face. I'm sure we have a while to go before we can say we've got a walker but it is a start though!

Cavin also loves his set of blocks. This month he has been able to actually figure out where some of the block shapes fit into their respective holes on the lid. But mainly he loves ripping the lid off, throwing it on the floor, then pulling the blocks out and putting them back in then pulling them out and putting them back in then sticking them in his mouth then handing them to you then taking them back and dropping them on the floor.

Now for the stats:

Weight: (TBD as we had to reschedule his 10month appt)

Height: (TBD as we had to reschedule his 10month appt)

Head: (TBD as we had to reschedule his 10month appt)

Happy Birthday little squirt!

"Wait. So this is where you want me to sit mommy?"
