TL turns 10 months old

This time around I attempted to make a little list on my phone of all the most recent quirks of Leeland's character. So, here goes:

He has discovered his little peen and his butt. It's hilarious! Diaper is off - he's scratching away. Bathtime - scratch-fest 2016.

He only wants "adult" food. Two weeks ago we scratched baby food and have moved to all finger foods. Every meal is a challenge, but we're learning.

Loves sugar, so we're reallllllllly not letting him eat junk right now. He can wait until his birthday!!

We have a nice little bedtime routine now. If it's bath night then there is a bath, followed by playtime, teeth brushing, a couple of books, and a little time sitting together before going into his crib. When we walk into the bathroom he gets so excited to brush his teeth, and he's pretty good at turning pages in his books.

He has added a third top tooth - now sporting five teeth total.

Vocabulary includes: Hi, num num (more food please), mom, dada, papa, rawrrrrr, and we're working on "I love you".

He loves to give big, fat, wet kisses and hugs. Loves to play "How Big is Leeland?" and to knock down his block towers.

Big clapper and loves to wave. Still doing well in church, but I swear that he thinks I am a jungle gym.

He's learning to play telephone, but I keep using the remote control. That might get confusing later on. Haha!

Any variation of throwing, swinging, being upside down is preferable for Lee. He a total roughhousing boy, for sure.

He likes to give Angie and Axel loves, but that often quickly turns into scratches and hair pulling too.

He used to love his binky, but now he really only wants it if he is dead tired. He clearly associates it with going to sleep, so he really doesn't love it anymore. Fine by me! We'll see what happens later on that one.

We are about 90% sure that he is right handed, but he wipes his mouth after every bite with his left arm. He's just a weird kid, haha.

He has a new thing where he holds his toys above his head and basically examines them from below. It's too funny!

Still a great napper, and overnight sleeper. He's generally happy and having fun. Not walking, but cruising around everywhere. Crawls super fast to get to wherever it is that he wants to be standing.

We move in about three days to a place with carpet. I suspect he may walk after we get away from tile and hardwood. Those bumps look like they really hurt! We also started swim lessons this week and he is awesome! He loves the water and is very comfortable. A little nervous at first, but by the end of the class he had gone under up to his nose! I was very proud!

Here's to two more months of documenting little dude. Soon he'll be one - my little Tenacious Lee!
