10 Months

His birthday will be here before I know it but right now I can’t believe that Benjamin is 10 months old!  Its been a little while since I’ve posted an update on what he has been doing so here we go:

He loves:

  • his Dad!
  • his blanket
  • following Julia around
  • climbing the stairs
  • eating (doesn’t really matter what the food is)!
  • baths
  • playing peekaboo

He dislikes:

  • having his diaper changed
  • not being allowed to play with electrical cords or outlets or toys with small pieces
  • being away from Dad or being held by anyone else when Dad is within his sight or hearing

He tolerates:

  • being in the car
  • being called ‘Ben-Hen’ by Julia (I think she better watch out when he’s a little older)

He continues to be a very easy-going, laid back (although very active) little guy.  He pretty much goes with flow and is only really fussy when he’s sick or teething or over-tired.  He is working on pushing through his 8th tooth and on walking without any assistance.  He can take several steps between people or from one thing to another and I’m sure will be chasing his sister very soon! 

Benj is also saying a couple of things – mostly mama and baba (bottle); but once in awhile I hear dada.  He can sign that he’s done with a meal and he’s good at waving and clapping (not that he’ll ever do them when I ask him to!) and pointing.  He’s starting to make his wants known in ways other than fussing which is a nice step for all of us!

Another of this favorite activities these days (shown in the picture below) is taking things out of a container and putting them back in.  This morning he was putting blocks in and taking them out of the mailbox on his play house.  And then he decided a better idea was to store the blocks in the hood of his sweatshirt!  He got them in by throwing them over his shoulder.  very cute.
