10 Months

Kai is 10 months old. As usual, I am late getting this up. Kai was not really in the mood for pictures and was making all kinds of grumpy faces during this photo shoot, but I got a few that work. His little personality is coming out like crazy now. He is such a ball of energy and is definitely giving me a run for my money. This month:
  • He is teething AGAIN. I wish all of those darn teeth would come in and we could be done with this teething business. He is so miserable. He has 2 more coming in right now, which brings the grand total to 6 teeth.
  • He is starting to be able to balance on his own, and has stood up and taken a couple steps...but is lazy. I think he realizes that he can crawl super fast, so walking takes way more effort. All in good time.
  • He gets a kick out of himself. He makes himself laugh all of the time. It's pretty cute.
  • He loves games. We play a lot of peek-a-boo, and he loves when I chase him around the floor on my hands and knees too.
  • His eyes are still changing colors. They are different every day. It is crazy.
  • He is learning more signs. He just signed "all done" to me today. Pretty exciting. 
  • He is starting to throw tantrums. We are in big trouble. I am trying to show him that kicking and screaming is not okay. I thought I had a couple years before that.
  • He is my cuddle-love. He loves to snuggle and cuddle up next to you.
  • He loves kisses. Mom, Dad, Keeva, toys, blankie...everyone gets kisses. Sometimes he grabs my cheeks and gives me big kisses; it kills me. 
  • He is a dancer. Drop a beat and he will be rocking out. I think there is a little musician in him. He even copies your dance moves.
  • He is starting to outgrow the pacifier. I think babies sucking on pacifiers are adorable, but I guess it's better than him being five and still wanting it. 
  • He learned to take his diaper off. Not good. 
  • He still likes to bite. How do you teach a baby not to bite? He thinks it's a game.
  • He also thinks getting into stuff he's not supposed to is a game. If you tell him no, that is his new favorite toy/activity.
  • He is starting to sing. At least I think it sounds like singing. He hums and blabs in a sing-songy tone when music is on.
  • He chats all the time. It is incomprehensible, but he thinks he's saying something. 
  • He loves to be out-and-about. Whether it's the grocery store, the science museum, or even Jo-Ann Fabrics, he is happy as long as he is out of the house. 
  • His hair is getting thicker. I have already given him 3 haircuts to try to thicken it, and now it is finally coming in full. 
  • He loves his puppy and loves to use her as transportation-aid to walk around the house. 
  • He is destructive. His favorite pastime is pulling all of the wipes out of the wipe box one by one.
  • He makes us smile all of the time. Just the funny little things he does and the silly facial expressions he makes are so sweet. He can brighten up the saddest moment.
