10 Months Old

****Warning - picture overload!! There were too many pictures to pick from, so I posted a TON on this post!*********

 

Unbelievably, Jake is already ten months old.  Last Thursday, was his ten month birthday.  It feels like the past month zipped by with vacation, Blake's birthday, July 4th and our trip to the lake.

He is so funny!  He went from scooting to really crawling FAST.  He pulls up standing like it is no big deal and walks along furniture or anything he can grasp.  The problem with that is he often grabs onto things that fall over, taking him down with them.  We've had a few bumps and scrapes already. 

He discovered the Johnny Jump Up seat a couple of weeks ago and likes to bounce in it.  He still likes his exersaucer and loves playing on the small slide in his room.  He is very into the peek-a-block cube and his leapfrog table.  He loves banging on his drum and shaking rattles.  We often find him sitting up playing in his crib or even standing when we go in to get him from naps or in the morning.  He likes the aquarium and mirror on his bed.

He is doing a funny thing with his face right now - sort of wrinkling his nose and making a funny noise.  He also seems obsessed with sticking his tongue out - sort of lizard like.  It is comical to see.

Here are some pictures from the past month:
