Double-Digit Tom!

Tommy turned 10 months on July 27^th.  I can’t believe how big our little boy is getting!  He has mastered crawling and is pulling himself up on everything.  Tommy loves crawling around looking for trouble, and by trouble I mean, anything that Sister is doing.  He loves to pick on her already.  He can’t seem to ever leave her alone when she is doing puzzles, coloring, or especially eating—he is always up in her business creating havoc (eating puzzle pieces and crayons, trying to steal her chocolate milk or pizza).  It always ends one of two ways:  1.  Maggie pushing Tommy down (literally prying his hands off her desk until he falls) or 2.  Maggie screaming to mommies and telling on Tommy.  I see a lot of this in the future.  In addition to harassing his sister, he enjoys bath time, playing with the dog dish, eating, and cuddling with mommies.  As for things he doesn’t like:  he hates his life jacket, being left alone, staying up too late, and teething.  At 10 months there are no well-child checks but he was in a few days ago when he was running a fever and he weighed 23 pounds and was 29 inches.  Just this week Tommy also graduated from the Bunnies to the Bumblebee classroom at school.  He is very excited about this because he gets to be reunited with his absolute favorite teacher, Ms. Shannon.  Oh and how could I forget, Tommy has also managed to master “mom”, "mama”, “mama-mama-mama-mama”—it is simply priceless.  His other big milestone this month has been learning to wave goodbye.  It is so cute when he flaps his big , chunky arm up and down.  He has 8 teeth so far with another one coming in as I type this.   As much as he may annoy his sister at times, he absolutely adores her and laughs at anything she does and wants to be near her constantly.  Tommy is Maggie’s biggest fan. 

A mouth full of teeth

Beautiful brown eyes

He is developing his own little personality and it looks wild :)

We love you!
