Our Favorites:
When we say "Good Job" he will clap for himself
Scrunches his face when he knows he's being funny

His Dustin (Stranger Things) teeth
How he imitates the sounds we make

He fills our days and keeps us busy, and we are so grateful for him. We've got a great schedule going where I'm able to work during his 2 naps and stop whenever he wakes up.  I was walking through the baby aisle yesterday at Wal-Mart to pick up some yogurt melts, and it was weird to realize that most of the stuff in those aisles doesn't apply to him anymore. He's on his way out of the baby stage and I'm trying to celebrate it rather than mourn it but MAN. 10 months is such a brief time for so much change!
