10 months.

I am going to stop catching up on May to let you know what my big 10 month old is up to! 10 months? Not possible right? I know - I am having a hard time believing it myself! My sweet little man -

Dominic loves to play catch - and will try to play catch with you with anything. Balls, dolls, toy cars, clothes - literally anything he can get his hands on.

He is fascinated with cars or anything with a motor. He even goes after the vacuum cleaner when I use it. (Elena would cry and crawl away!)

There really is an amazing difference between boys and girls - I am seeing it more and more as he grows.

His new thing this month is picking up something and showing it to you.

He is getting louder and louder! There aren't very many words but Mama is pretty crystal clear and we have heard a few Dada's too! I swear one time it sounded like he was trying to say Elena.

Speaking of his big sister, he adores Elena. He wants to be doing whatever it is she is doing and be wherever she is too!

He tries to put everything in his mouth. When he sneaks something in that he isn't supposed to (dirt, rocks, legos) he clamps his mouth down and ties to not let me fish it out. At least he doesn't swallow this stuff, he just wants to chew on it!
He loves to swing, I think he would swing for hours if we let him.

He still only has 2 bottom teeth. But he has had a fever the last couple days which makes me think a couple more are ready to break through.

 He loves to clap, he gets this big smile on his face and gets so excited.  

When "Can't Hold Us" comes on the radio - he lifts his hands up in the air along with the music! It is awesome. ;)

His hair is getting pretty shaggy and he is about ready for a haircut - but momma isn't ready for that yet!

 My big boy tipped the scales at his check-up last month at 23lbs - 80th% and 30 1/4'' long - 95th%. (I think he has put on a pound or two this last month as well!)
He is wearing 12-18 month clothes and I have decided to not by anything smaller than 18 months anymore - he is growing like a weed!

He has gotten brave enough to let go from a standing position a couple of times but he only stayed up for about a second or two. I have a feeling this month he will make some big strides towards trying to walk!
I had the hardest time every getting good pictures this month! Little man does not want to stay still! I even tried two different photo shoots but he was constantly trying to climb off the chair - or laugh hysterically with extremely blurry hands!

Again, he is a happy, happy baby. Random strangers always stop me to comment on what a happy baby I have! I love this and feel very fortunate and blessed that his is so happy.

He is an absolute joy to be around but don't let all the smiling pictures fool you - when he is done with something (like taking pictures for example) he will let you know!!

I can't believe my little boy is closing in on his first birthday!! I am so excited to plan his party!!! :) Let the Pinterest searching begin! :)
