Ten

Big news for the Troop-meister... he's walking! Well, pretty much. He's now ten months old (actually ten and a half) and he's grown and learned so much in the past month. About a week and a half ago, he started to really stand on his own for more than a few seconds at a time.Then, he got crazy good at walking behind Grandma's little lion walker toy. A couple days ago, he took a couple steps towards the couch and we went crazy. Then he took a few steps towards us.

And last night he took a record 17 steps!

 He's still crawling today though; but he's started doing this funny bear crawl, showing he'd rather be on his feet than his knees. It's hilarious.

Other than that, two more teeth have come through - making 4 teeth total. But it seems like 10 more must be working their way out as well:( poor boy. He's added "uh oh" "hello" and "amen" to his vocabulary. And he's started climbing. He still likes to imitate almost everything we do and he still loves bath time and refuses to sit still during church (or ever really). He's in the 10th percentile for weight at 17 lbs 6 oz and 30th percentile for height at 28.5 in long. Here are the latest pics.

All of a sudden he looks like a little boy!

I can't believe it's already time to start planning his first birthday party! Boy do I love this kid.
