10 Months

Why am I surprised every month that another month as past? But I am surprised yet again that Ethan is now 10 months old. Ethan is now crawling hands and knees all the time. He stands holding on to something, not attempts to stand on his own yet. But he is very good at getting from floor to sitting to standing and back down. Ethan still doesn't have any teeth, which is falling right in line with his siblings. We have begun some finger foods, so now meal time has become even messier. Ethan has also become more chatty especially at meal times. It is quite funny because he will be quite and then out of no where make loud noises. He will also try to talk when he hears Jane and Micah playing and talking together. He is still the most interested in independent play. He seems to go in phase where he is intensely interested in one toy, one he will carry around with him everywhere, right now that is an old phone. Comical that it isn't technically a toy. Ethan also really enjoys playing peek-a-boo it is so cute seeing him put a cloth over his face and the huge smile when he pulls to down. He is still a thumb sucker and we try to limit it to just sleeping. But him being a thumb sucker also seems to allow me more opportunities to have snuggles. Ethan will suck his thumb and lay his head on my chest and stay there for awhile, I of course let him and soak it in. Baby snuggles do not last long enough.
