Reese is 10 months old now. He is pretty much the same height and weight he has been the last two months, so I don't know what's up with that! He eats a lot, has plenty of wet and dirty diapers, he is happy and hitting milestones, I guess he just saving it up until right after he gets new clothes or something? He is up about a half an inch maybe to 28.5 inches long and has gained only half a pound or so and is up to 17 lbs 8 oz. Just like last month though he is just coming off of an illness so maybe that is why too. He is finally feeling better today and his nose is not so runny.
Still no walking to get around but he will take a few steps every so often. He has been waving bye bye really well now and says "buh buh buh" for bye bye!
Cute, but it looks like the cord is coming out of his head
It is so hard to get him to hold still now for a good shot. So I strapped him into Clayton's booster seat!
My mom came yesterday to help with the boys in the evening and bed time since Daddy had a late wrestling meet. She brought some Christmas cookie dough instead of her regular bag of toys and Clayton sure had a blast helping to cut out and then decorate the cookies.
While the cookies were baking, Clayton and Reese took some time out to crawl all over mommy! This happens a lot during the day but no one is ever around to take any pictures of it!
Reading the Poky Little Puppy
Reese is sooo big! And standing all by himself!
And finally, the video of cutting out the cookies and then some decorating! Clayton's favorite parts were eating the frosting right off the knife and shaking the sprinkles!
The boys played outside for a little bit after lunch today in light jackets, seems so odd for December! But I think I remember doing that last winter too. They had fun and enjoyed the fresh air. Reese is not feeling to well (runny nose, a little cough, low fever). Clayton has had a runny nose as well, but I think it's hitting Reese a little harder. Mommy and Daddy have been fighting it this past week too.
Anyway, here are the pictures and a video. . .
Big Stick!
Little Stick!
Then right after that stick picture, Reese picked up the big stick again, and when he went to put it in his mouth, he snapped it and it got him and he has a little ouchy under his lip.
I took these pictures yesterday, and I know he is not quite 10 months old, but he pretty much is (only 5 days!), and it's officially December now, soo I thought I should go for it. Be sure to click on the pictures to make them bigger so you can see them better. They are in order of my favorite, but between the first two it is hard to choose. If you leave a comment on the blog and tell me your favorite one, I will be sure to include a 4x6 size print of it in your Christmas card which will hopefully be going out soon! Even if you have a request for something you would like to see done a little different (different size, colors, text, font, etc.) I will see what I can do.
Maybe my last post should have said "tooth" instead of "tongue!" I suppose that is why he has been sticking his tongue out like that - he wants to feel his brand new tooth. It just broke through today I guess, and it's the one on the bottom right. This evening he bit my foot, through my sock even and it hurt quite a bit, I thought, "ouch that feels pretty pokey for a little dude with no teeth!" So I stuck my finger in there, and low and behold - a little tooth!
