10 Months Old

Max is 10 months old! He's getting to be a big boy. He wears 12-18 month old clothes and size 5 diapers. He takes five 7 ounce bottles a day, eats three meals (sometimes...he's not big on eating food still), and takes one to two naps a day. He can wave and say "bye-bye", "Da-da" and "Ma-ma". He will give you a high five and can shake his head no when he's done eating food or when he doesn't want to do something. And he understands the word "no". If you tell him no, he stops what he's doing and puts on the biggest pouty face. On the other hand, if you point a camera in his direction, he instantly smiles. He's a very happy and laid back little boy. He loves to play and plays very well by himself. He goes into Ava's room and pulls all the drawers out of her toy shelves and plays with all her stuff. He loves the bathroom, especially the toilet. He loves to play the little piano and open and close all the doors on the play kitchen. Max loves to be held and cuddled and likes to sleep in bed with his Mama when she lets him. Max is pulling up on everything and walking around while holding onto stuff. He's not quite found his balance yet so I don't think walking will be happening any time soon. He's very clumsy and falls down and bumps his head all the time. He'll either wind up being tough, or not very intelligent. Max LOVES to be outside. Ava has learned to open the back door and any chance she gets she will open and and the two of them will escape to the back porch. Max loves to bug Ava, pull her hair, and jump on her. He's a sweet little boy and we're glad he's here!
