10 Months!

David celebrated his 10m week with his cousin Cole and girlfriend Alicia!! It's been a long time since we got Alicia and David together, and they did not disappoint. These blonde-haired, blue-eyed babes are both the sweetest kids on the planet (Cole is too of course!) - it was so fun watching them explore everything, chase each other around the coffee table, wear pink flip-flops, etc. :) Here are some shots from our visit at Aunt Lauren & Uncle Sean's:

Hi Alicia!

Mamas & babies

Papas & babies (and hands-in-the-mouth!)

Brady Bunch shot :)

Cousins! Hard to believe Cole is 4m younger.. he's practically the same size!

These two love to hold hands :) 

I couldn't resist... sorry David!

Crawl-chase around the table :)

David & Cole :)

Back at home, David re-familiarized himself with his long-lost play mat (Cole borrowed it for a few months) :)

Ah memories! The mat looks so small!

At 10 months, David continues to develop his sweet, funny and loving personality :) We weaned from breastfeeding this month, and he is doing great - I was worried about being able to soothe him on those nights when he just needs a little extra help falling asleep, but he likes snuggling with me and sipping his bottle just as much if not more than nursing :) David's also taken a liking to getting his feet massaged during his last bottle of the night. And staring up at his starry ceiling listening to our Lullabie station on Pandora. 

David still loves the classic, itsy bitsy spider, but also gets a kick out of wheels on the bus (I sing it any time he's cranky in the car and he settles right down!), twinkle twinkle, and ABCs. He can couch-walk (hold on to the couch and walk the perimeter), and he crawls over to you and stands up just holding onto your pant leg. He's not trying to stand too much on his own just yet - he's a speed-crawler, so doesn't have too much motivation to give walking a go :) 

David likes mac & cheese and a plain old slice of bread, in addition to waffles, hardboiled eggs, and broccoli! He has taken to doing things just to make us laugh - including raspberries (slobber EVERYWHERE), shoving as many puffs into his mouth as possible, then smiling and cackling at himself while he opens his mouth and lets mushy puffs fall out. 

David loves crawling behind chairs / couches / etc. and sneaking up on you too - anything for a laugh :)

This was at midnight... he got a 2nd wind and decided he wanted to goof-off for an hour :) 

He's really into putting things away - toys in the bins, bath toys in the cup, you name it. He is growing attached to stuffed animals (one of the 2 elephants he got as gifts as a baby, yaya and sheila (both named after the givers :)), and his A&A blankies. And he loves a bumpy ride in the stroller with Franklin leading the way.

Bath time clean-up :)

And last but not least, here are our 10m pics!
