11 months
This one turned 11 months old yesterday.
The changes are getting more incremental. He's more mobile, but not *quite* walking. He has more sounds (babbaba) but not quite talking.
He fills out his clothes in a way his brother didn't even at 15 months. He's closing on 19 lbs but is easily the tallest in his room at daycare. That's because he's still eating everything. (This would be his favorite, chicken.)
With the obvious results.
He's getting more confident in what he's doing.
He figured out how to use the coffee tables to get up on our couch, but that's mostly ok because, unlike E, he'll find the edge and then spin around to slide down feet first.
And he still has an awesome personality.
He was sick for a good chunk of the last month (cold turned to ear infection) and it made him a little fussy. I'm very glad to report he's back to his happy self with the addition of some amoxicillin.
(I wish this had sound so you could hear his motoroboat noise. It's his expression of general happiness, but he'll hold a conversation all in buzzes.)
His only question...
Wait, were you going to eat this?

10 months
This little man turned 10 months old last week.
Things have been quiet on the blog for a while, because, well... life. I've got two busy bodies to follow, and one of them is hungry, so the dinner to bedtime stretch pretty much takes my whole evenings. I'm pounding away on classes while I'm at work, and then I've pretty much given over the weekends to spending time with the boys. Because how could I not? I have to keep up!
So, while I have long intended to do a bunch of catch-up posts with all the pictures from the last while, for now I'm just trying to get up to date. T may have to look at twitter to see what was up for these few months of his life. Of course, if he does, he'll see that it was all pretty darn busy!
And pretty darn awesome. He's mobile now. He was soooo frustrated that he couldn't get around that life was pretty rough for him between about 8-9 months. I expected him to be walking by now, to be honest, he was so determined to GET MOVING. However, he's pretty content with crawling and cruising, and he doesn't seem to notice that he can stand (if he notices that he is standing unsupported, he instantly drops to the ground).
At least he quickly figured out how to get up/down without slamming into the floor (unlike E). After a couple of weeks of constant forehead bruises a couple of months ago, he has done pretty well! He moved pretty quickly from rolling to an army crawl to what Ray calls his arachnid crawl (right leg sticking out to form a 90 degree angle off from his body). Now, he can get anywhere quickly and keep up with E, and that seems to be all he asks.
Well, that and more food, please. He'll eat ANYTHING (at least once). We skipped the whole puree thing this time and started him on things like strips of steak. Now, he eats more at dinner than I do (partially because he cries when the food goes in my mouth if he doesn't have any... hard to keep up!). Last week he ate a full chicken breast along with some sides... I think he eats as much as E and I combined!
He is a meatarian (lifelong commitment!) - he'll eat just about anything but would prefer that steak/chicken right there, please. Feeding him something new is always fun, since it's met with a look of total disgust- right before he swallows and asks for more.
E is his favorite person - E can make faces or just jump and land on his backside and T will LAUGH. Ray or I might get a chuckle, but nothing like the deep belly laughs E gets. This is handy, since E is often happy to just keep his brother entertained.
He's still a love and a cuddler, although... wait... off he goes again, wriggling his way down to go eat E's toys.
At least you get to check out the curls on his way by...
