10 Months

My sweet baby dragon!

Dexter turned 10 months old last week. This year is going by so fast. He's still walking along the furniture, he's getting a lot faster! 

It's really been bothering me lately how much of his day I miss while I'm at work. Most days when I pick him up from the sitter he looks slighter bigger and older. While I wish I could be with him all day, I really am lucky that I found such a great sitter. Jennifer somehow manages to balance it all. I don't know how she does it. 

Dexter really likes playing with the other kids. The two older girls make him laugh, and he wrestles and plays with Hudson, which is about the same age. Dexter bit Hudson on the leg the other day while playing and left a mark.  We've really been trying to work on teaching him how to touch nicely instead of biting, pinching, and smacking. I think it's starting to work.

Of course I think about my baby all day long. Here are some things I reflect on that make me smile:

♥Dexter covers his little face with a blanket, then pulls it away to play peak-a-boo

♥ During the night when I'm trying to get him back to sleep, but he just wants to giggle and grab my nose

♥When he laughs so hard he gets the hiccups

♥How excited Dexter gets when I let him crawl in an area he never goes, like the dining room.

♥His baby talk, I love when it seems like he's telling a whole story

♥Splashing in the tub

♥His wet baby kisses, that he usually plants on my chin or eye

♥His smile when he sees his Daddy
