Jack is TEN MONTHS (and 2 days)!

I can hardly believe my baby boy turned 10 months on Saturday, it is insaaaane.  He is an absolute stud and I can't get over how much I love him!  It's so fun to watch him explore and discover new things he can do, you can just see the wheels turning in his little head (actually, his head is pretty big, haha). 



Here's his 10 month stats:                                        Here's his birthday stats:
Weight- 25 lbs                                                             Weight- 9lbs 1 oz
Length- 29 inches                                                       Length- 20.5 inches
Head Circumference- 18 1/2 inches                  Head Circumference- 14 inches

They're exactly the same!  He hasn't grown this month, which is really surprising because he seems so much bigger.  

Goodness, where to start.  Jack and I have so much fun every day.  He loves going to the park and swinging then playing in the grass- we try to go every day.  His cute wispy hair blows back and forth in the wind while he's swinging and he has a huge grin the whole time.  He really loves doing anything outside, its like he can't get enough "explorin' " in. 



His new thing is pointing at everything.  He used to wave at everybody, now it's pointing.
His favorite things to play with are balls and books.  He loves them!  He'll throw a ball all day long. He's a definite lefty by the way.  I'll put a ball on his right side and he'll pick it up with his left hand.  If he picks it up with his right hand, which is a rare occasion, he'll switch it to his left hand.  He has a pretty darn good arm too!  He loves crawling over to his bucket of books and flipping through the pages all by himself.  He loves when we read to him, especially Daddy.  Which brings me to his new trick, he can say "Dada" now!


Jack has started this new "wine".  It's like this total fake cry.  It's... awesome... not quite.  But it is pretty funny because it is soooo fake.  Here's the face that goes with it:
We love going to all the Ohio State games we can (any sport), especially volleyball, especially because its free for students.  Here's Jack with Brutus (Ohio State's mascot).  He was so enthralled by him, it was hilarious.  All the fan's in front of us were cracking up!

Jackers has started to share his food.  When he's eating and you open your mouth near him, he'll put whatever he's eating in and smile like he's proud!  His all time favorite food is mandarin oranges.  He'll shake and squeal until he gets another bite.  He hasn't had baby food in probably 2 months, he's just not interested.  He loves cheese, cheerios, any fruit, tomatoes, any meat, etc... clearly not a picky eater. 
He walks around the furniture like a boss.  He's super fast!
He loves hanging out on his knees. 
He sleeps 11 hours a night.  Hallelujah!
Jack has such a sweet personality.  He loves to be tickled and cracks up now.  He is constantly smiling at everyone.  I hope he has cheered up a few people by now, I know he has for me.
