10 Months Old

Samuel's 10 month birthday was today! We celebrated by going for a long walk to the farmers market and taking Clara to the dog park... which he thought was hilarious!

Some of Sam's new tricks...
- Playing peek-a-boo.
- Waving at himself in the mirror.
- Eating more finger foods and fewer pureed foods.
- A new tooth popped through a couple days ago making our new total 3 on top, 4 on bottom.
- Cruising along the couch and coffee table.
- Giving "kisses"... really just opening his mouth and licking your face, but he does it when you say "give me a kiss."
- Chasing Clara around everywhere... including in her cage, up the stairs, to her food bowl. Then, he catches her and crawls on top of her. She's such a good dog for putting up with his not-so-gentle signs of affection.
- He "talks" more clearly. His repertoire includes "ba-ba," "ga-ga," "ka-ka," and, once, "ma-ma" usually followed by spitting noises. Of course, none of these have any meaning... he's just practicing with sounds.
10 Month reject pictures... he's not as easy to get pictures of now that he's so mobile.
