10mths Old

Not sure if anyone even checks this anymore, but since things seem to be moving so fast, I thought I'd write it all done... for later when I'm journaling or finishing E's baby book!

Right now, our little guy is surpassing milestones left & right. The week before he turned 10mths old, he took several random single steps. The day after he turned 10mths old, he walked about 4 steps on his own; then three days later, he was walking all over the place. Except for those couple of random steps, it was almost from nothing to go-go-go. It's amazing to me there's very little transitional periods with babies! One day he wasn't sitting up, the next he sat up hours & hours during the day! Same w/ crawling & pulling up!

Some others things he's doing:

** Pointing at stuff. I don't know why this is incredibly sweet to me, but I like to think he's wanting us to notice something or he wants to know what it is. It started on July 4th when he pointed out the fireworks to Nick. Now, it's people, frogs on the window, & the TV.
** Super big snuggly hugs. Is there anything better?!
** Still clapping & bobbing like crazy!
** Still nursing, but testing more & more fruits & veggies!
** Has 4 teeth.
** Loves to play with anything electronic. Stereos, cell phones, computers, remote controls (which he already knows he is changing something on the TV!); if it has buttons or knobs, he's there!

Hmm, outside the baby... we are still waiting to hear back about the short sale offer we submitted almost 4wks ago. Should have been 6wks ago, but we won't go into that! The are pending the foreclosure on the house to review our offer. Our house has been on the market a little over a month. It's been shown 4 times, but 3 times to the same family. We are praying God will work it out however He wants to & worrying about it won't help things out! We're saving as much money as possible to have for inspections/appraisal/repairs/etc.

I am now employed part time at a nursing & rehabilitation center. It's 32hrs/mth & enough to really help out in the family budget. We are very thankful for this job; I work two 8hr shifts every other weekend, so it's boy-time when I work! :)

I guess that's about it for now. I'm in the beginning stages of planning E's birthday party & have plenty of follow up stuff to go over w/ my Mom in the next month and a half! Getting excited about it all!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! And don't forget tomorrow is Chick-Fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day! Free food if you dress up completely or partially like a cow!
