My sweet Baby Blake,
10 months has just flown by ... can I push the pause button on life?
You are growing up too quickly!
You have a seriously amazing smile.
This month, you learned how to do a squinty smile -
it might be one of the cutest things ever.
At first I thought you did it when you were most happy
but you do your squinty smile a million times a day ... at just about anyone -
and that includes a random lady at the doctor's office.
You are just the happiest little boy ever.
All of a sudden, even in the past few days,
you've started to become chatty. To be honest, I don't know what
you're talkin' about ... but you've definitely got a lot to say!
We started physical therapy with Susan this month.
Since Sophie had physical therapy so early, we decided that you should too ...
just to help you along a little bit. Susan thinks you're about
1 1/2 to 2 months behind but you're catching up. You'll continue
therapy until you walk ... just like your sister.
Physically, you're combat crawling.
You're getting faster but if I get too far out of site,
you definitely get frustrated and mommy usually has to come to the rescue.
You're reaching for things and putting tons of things straight into your mouth.
Having said that, you're curious just about everything.
You look at just about anything and then stick it straight into your mouth.
Your favorite things to be put in your mouth are things that shouldn't be there.
I think you think that everything should be eaten ... not true at all.
Not everything tastes good Blake ... seriously.
Speaking of eating ... did I mention you're eating?
You LOVE just about anything I put in front of your mouth.
So far, I think your favorite thing are these
rice crackers we found at the Japanese market.
If you start to fuss, I stick one in your hand and you're happy again.
I literally think we go through a pack a day.
Perhaps you've got a cracker problem ... :)
Your favorite person still might be your sister.
You smile at me in the morning but you just brighten up
at the sight of Sophie ... and she loves you too!
Thank you for being so great when she snatches your toys
or steals your crackers. A million times a day, I hear Sophie
say to you ... "Please stop. I don't like that. Please stop".
I think she hates that you put things in your mouth. Most of
the things you "eat" belong to her ...
Despite her enthusiasm with you (that is what I'm calling it ...),
she loves, loves, loves you ...
Personality-wise. You are pretty easy-going ...
especially when I'm holding you. No problems. When
I put you down, boy oh boy ... you're not happy.
BUT ... overally, I can't complain. You are a smiley,
happy little camper. And boy I love you so!
You have picked up one of Sophie's bad habits ...
not a fan of mommy being too far away - with the exception
of Pau Pau. You are a big fan of Pau Pau and you're usually pretty good for her.
A big difference between you siblings is that if I'm close by, people
can hold you (unlike Sophie) but if I leave the room,
big crocodile tears start falling down your face.
Just like what used to happen with your sister.
How lucky we are that you are in our life.
Can you stay our baby forever?
I love you to the moon and back ...
I'll love you forever and ever ...
I'm so glad to call you my son.
Yours forever and always,
Mommy
