He's 10 months.

This is our little guy.
He turned 10 months yesterday.
This was a picture of him covered in Roseolla Rash. I think the face is sooo funny so I had to share it.
EZ is a pure delight.
He has really really blonde hair like his momma and everything else like his daddy. He is pretty much 97% Brad and a little me. I love his big dimples and his big hazel eyes. He makes you earn his smiles and when he smiles they're big and real and bright.
He has 7 teeth. He weighs a mere 18 pounds and stands a tall 27inches. He is in the 9th percentile and big in spirit.
I love how he lets me rock him to sleep at church. He loves to be held. But he's a wiggler. I have to hold his tummy down while I try to change his diaper or put his clothes on. He loves his big sister. She can make him laugh and help him if he needs something or if he's sad she comforts him. She even fed him his peaches the other night which was a huge help to me while I tried to get dinner on the table.
He crawls everywhere and stands and has recently realized that he can walk while holding onto things. He pinches my arms while I hold him. He looks at me to make sure it's okay if a stranger starts talking to him. He knows i'm his mom, and right now I'm his world and that makes my heart sing. He's started the "get-into-the-dogs-water-bowl-dump-it-all-over-time-and-time-again-stage". I sit him in the sink while I get ready so he can look at himself in the mirror and I know he won't get into anything. The other day he took a big bite of soap before I could catch him. Didn't seem to bother him a bit. This kid also gnaws on the chalk before we can get it away from him. I already see differences in him and Bluebird. He's such a curious little soul. He waves and claps and pats my arm. He also likes to make clicking sounds with his tongue but will only do it for mom and dad and once for Dr. P.

And to all of you...Thanks, thanks, thanks for reading my blog and commenting. I can think of a happy memory regarding each person that commented and each one of you has really enriched my/our life in a great way. I blog for the family in utah to see what's happening in our lives but along the way i've met so many many friends whose lives have touched my life. Your blogs inspire me and I'm glad that our little blog means something to you too.

10 months! Holy cow, time flies. He is a beautiful baby boy. Don't you love the sibling love? It's my favorite. Chloe is adorable. That dress---you amaze me. I would have given up and tossed it. It turned out very cute.

Your baby is 10 months old?! How does that happen? And Chloe is in Pre-school?! Crazy. Not to mention you are 4th years!! Wahoo! Almost ready to graduate. I remember like yesterday you as a brand new first year with a little babe. Sorry Brad is gone so much. It makes time pass slow. But. Before you know it you'll be finished with residency and he'll start to come home more frequently. You'll even start to forget how hard the whole medical training world was. A little bit anyway. Any good books for me to read? If you haven't read "The Help", you should.

He is so cute! I would love to see him in person. What a doll. I'm in YW again (have been for over a year now) and I often think of our time in Kirksville YW. That was a blast!
