10 months today!

I feel like I should write again after my day yesterday. Today has been a much better day. For one, Nathan slept through the night again! My hubby said to Nathan, "So, your identity crisis is over..." I know that there will be many more sleepless nights ahead, but after 4 in a row after he had started sleeping all night...it seemed like we were reverting back to old ways.

Not all of yesterday was bad either. I did manage to take some video of Nathan laughing when I made a silly sound. And we went for a walk around the neighborhood and he got to play on the swings for 10 minutes. I guess in defense of his biting, I believe he was trying to bite my hot pink sweatshirt rather than me. Today I caught him biting my light purple sweater.

Today Nathan is 10 months. And when I watch him today, I realize how much he is growing up already. He holds his own bottle now. He feeds himself Cheerios and rice puffs. Not even two weeks ago (on a Friday) he took his first steps. He also loves to climb stairs with his mommy standing right behind him! And I can see that little brain of his working, forming connections between objects. He has a sense of humor. The other day, I crawled around with him and then would grab him and say, "I got you! Mommy's got you!" and he would start in with a fit of giggles. It would get to the point that he would crawl away and then look back at me as if to see how far I was and before I even grabbed him he would start laughing his huge belly laugh. I know that these days will be gone quickly before I have a chance to savor each moment. Right now he still wants to hug me and cuddle me, but soon enough I know he'll be running away.

I reminded my hubby that today is our son's 10 month birthday and he said, "Soon, you'll be one. And the next thing you know you're 35." Happy 10 months to my sweet little boy.
