Casey @ 10 months

Casey is 10 months old and continues to be one very busy little man. His wonderful curiosity keeps him on the go and exploring all that is around him. This past month he has perfected pulling up. He'll use anything around him to get to a standing position - furniture, Mama or Daddy's legs, another child... doesn't matter what. He seems to enjoy the new view! In the mornings when we enter his room, he is standing at the end of the crib with a big smile waiting to be picked up. Of course, the new position has him cruising as well. While the home project is nearing completion nobody will be happier than Casey to have full access to the house in order to "stretch his legs a bit". While he doesn't look like he is quite ready to let go and stand independently yet, but we know what is in our near future!

Another thing that Casey has learned are a couple of new communication techniques with the use of hands: specifically waving and clapping. He loves to say "hello" and "good bye" with a wave. It doesn't matter where or to whom he waves at this point - walk down the aisles at Target and someone will get a sweet greeting. And, if you start up a round of "If you are happy and you know it" the smile will immediately show up and the hands will clap right on cue.

Casey has been a good eater this past month which makes us very happy. While still maintaining a diet of some baby food and some "big boy" foods, the next month or two will see him leaving the baby food behind. Once construction is complete and therefore full use of the kitchen we will again have the ability to provide Casey a host of new tastes. If he could choose his favorite meal right now, it would be pizza crust and a nice warm bottle.

Casey still thinks Cole hangs the moon. Cole can sneeze and Casey will laugh and clap. And, like a good big brother, Cole is always on the lookout for Casey, brings him toys and wants him to be happy. We are so proud of our boys! We are pretty sure they have met the criteria for making the "nice" list which is a good thing because Cole is polishing up his Christmas list (he plans to visit Santa when he is in town next weekend). Cole also has suggestions for Santa as to what he can bring Casey. Everyone is looking forward to Casey’s first Christmas!

As always, here are some shots of the 10 month old:









Here is a glance at Casey's progression over the past 9 months



And finally... a look at Cole at 10 months next to his 10 month old brother.
