Jax turns TEN months old!

TEN whole MONTHS!!!  I cannot believe it!!!!  Welcome to the double digits of months my sweet, sweet baby Jax!  Every month you're more incredible at everything you do, at what you say, and the awesome personality you are developing!  You are funny, mischievous, cuddly, outspoken, and so adaptable!  You are sneaky, silly, dramatic, demanding, and LOVE attention from everyone!  You adore your big brother, you look up to your daddy, and you can't let go of your mommy.  That's right, separation anxiety kicked in last month and you, my little man, can't go too long without having your mama in sight.  Please stay a mama's boy for as long as you can!! I love how you are eager to learn, copy and try to say everything we say, and when you fall asleep you continue rehearsing.  And speaking of sleep, I'm so proud of you for sleeping longer in the night (It's 50/50....sometimes you wake once and then the other times you sleep through the night, hooray!) You surprise us every day with the things you do.  You are ambitious, and so much fun :) We love our little cracker Jax, Jaxi-love!  You complete our family perfectly!

Congratulations on your TEN MONTHS our little man!!!

T is for Talkative.  Jax now says "Taaa" (for Taji), Car, Cup, Craka (Cracker), Turta (Turtle), Mama, Dada, "Duh" (for Duck, and he also imitates us quacking like a duck.)

E is for Eat, like that Jax EATS like a horse! He eats everything, but favorites are risotto, pita with cream cheese or avocado, yogurt,  banana pancakes, carrots, blueberries,

N is for Nursing, as in Jax is still preferring to nurse at 10 months old, and he's not biting mama anymore.  I love this special time with my little boy. :)

***

M is for Music.  Boy oh Boy, does this boy like music, and likes to dance!  Every time he hears The Black Keys, he gets very excited!

O is for Outgoing.  Jax is one sweet social baby who loves to be around others.  He learned to wave hi and bye, and he now says it too!  ("haaaa" and "baaaa")  TOO CUTE!

N is for Necklace.  He has been wearing his amber teething necklace and its really been working to comfort his tooth pain (especially now that his 7th tooth is coming in!)

T is for Training.  That means Jax is training hard each day to stand long without support, training to walk by cruising from furniture to furniture, AND crawling up the stairs all by himself (all 4 flights of stairs!!!)  We have no idea how he figured it out, but one night at Grandma and Grandpa Grover's house, he just zoomed up the stairs.... and then I got it on video!!!

H is for Hands, Jax's precious little hands.  He is so good with his hands, and his fine motor skills are phenomenal.  He loves to nest things, such as in cups and putting small objects into baskets, buckets..... He is also good at cleaning up!  He puts crayons back into their box, puts balls in boxes, and Taj's matchbox cars in the laundry basket (and he also loves to take laundry out of the laundry basket and dump things over! LOL)  Its also pretty amazing at how he can peel off the littlest stickers, such precision!

S is for Swinging and Sliding (down the slide!), his two favorite physical hobbies.... besides climbing stairs!  He loves to swing just as much as Taj, and he gets so giggly when he slides down the slide on his belly!

WOW, that was a BIG post!!!!
