Happy Ten Month Birthday Ellis!


"Mommy I'm a mover!!!" is what that look says.  And Ellis' 10th month was all about Point B and how to get there from Point A.   He started off the month army crawling, quickly moved into crawling on all 4s, then kneeling to see the action on top of the train table, then pulling himself up to stand!  Somewhere in there he figured out how to go from all 4s to sitting up in order to take a break.

Moving like this also made him realize that what he wants, he gets.  And he's learned to express himself.  Moral of the story is brother has a personality!  He has started to scream in high pitched sounds when we take toys away, pick him up when he's not ready, or wants more food.  To compensate for this I'm pretty sure he spoke his first word: "mama" while also showing us he can clap!  So he can scream all he wants as far as I'm concerned.

So as you can see month 10 was an awesome one with a lot of action!  The only downside is croup visited us towards the end of the month with Cavin waking up with a seal like cough and 30 minutes later Ellis woke up with the same one while gasping for air.  I had my tennis shoes on and was headed to the hospital at midnight just as the doctor called back to tell us to take him outside to allow the cold air to open up his airways.  I will tell you, that was one scary night.

Happy 10 months to my little mover!
