Oh my gosh, this little boy gives me such joy. I can hardly even stand it sometimes! I love staying home and taking care of him. It is a dream come true. Funny how I would so much rather change diapers and read baby books then do any job outside the home.
Beau is 10 and a half months and loves to laugh. He giggles and giggles just to see if he can get Mommy and Daddy to giggle too. If he can, he giggles even louder. He can't say any words yet but I know he understands plenty. He knows what "No" means and "good job" or "good boy". We moved at the end of April 2011 and Beau loves his new home. He is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on everything. We ordered baby gates right away as there are a lot of stairs. Beau loves to walk in his walker around the kitchen and on the deck. He comes barreling around the corner to get Mommy and Daddy.
Beau doesn't like to go to the grocery store as much anymore. He doesn't like to sit in the cart where he cannot pull things off the shelves. Mommy must bring snacks to keep him occupied to make it through the store. Beau loves to take baths and we are looking forward to many pool days this summer. I think he will be a water baby!
Beau loves to bite toes. If your toes are within reach, he will grab and bite them, socks or no socks. He just lights up when he sees toes, especially if they have pretty polish on them. He then attacks and giggles. So funny!
Beau is such a cuddler. He loves kisses and hugs and smoochies. He opens up his mouth real big and sucks on the side of your face to give kisses. He loves Aunt Allison and Aunt Kelsey because they both give him lots of kisses. He does not play by himself very well. He just wants Mommy to hold him and play toys with him. If I'm the the kitchen and he is in the family room. I know I have about 2 minutes before he will always come find me.
Beau also loves to make lots and lots of dirty diapers. He is so good at it too! I change two before I go to the gym in the morning and another one in the middle of my workout. All before 10am. Beau loves Mommy and Daddy to read him books. He loves all the pictures and colors and he loves to turn the pages.
Sadly Beau is still toothless. Poor baby. So we are still eating lots of baby food. However, he can mush up cheese and little pieces of cooked carrots and he loves toast with butter!
Not too long before he will be walking. Then the chasing will really begin. He is so big already. Sometimes I get sad knowing my baby days with him are coming to an end but I am still so excited to watch him learn and grow.
