Jacob Turns 10 Months Old

My baby boy is 10 months old today!
He amazes me every day. It is so funny what they are learning when you don't even know it. I dance a silly dance for him when he plays the banjo on his toy table, so he now dances when he plays the banjo. We were concerned when he recently developed a cough... Wait a minute... I coughed, then you hear a little aha aha - he was copying us (little turkey).
He is walking really well now and climbing EVERYTHING! He pushes toys up to the furniture he can not reach on his own and uses them as step stools.
He says mom mom and d-duh. He will give you d-duh on command, but mom mom only when he wants to.
He will give you a kiss if you ask and knows how to give hugs now. He makes the mmmmmwwwaa noise when he gives kisses now.
He will search his toy boxes, throw out every toy and find a book to bring me. He hands it to me to read to him, but he wants to be in charge of the page turning.
He loves cheerios and puffs, but I can not get the little stinker to eat chunks of food. We have tried sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and kiwi - however - we did go to Julian to day and bad mommy slipped him some apples from her apple pie which he thoroughly enjoyed.
I can't wait to see what he will learn next month.
Hope you enjoy the slide below of our trip to one of our community parks for his 10-month "birthday". (if you see a black box, just hit the "x" and the slide will show up)
