fearfully and wonderfully made...: happy 10-months, little crazy!

10 MONTHS OLD!!! Can't believe that Josiah is nearing the 1 year mark! He can crawl, pull himself up into a standing position (we had to move crib mattress down), and climb stairs. Let me tell you, he is one active baby. Always on the go.

Josiah prefers meats (by far), most fruits, and sweet potato (the only veggie).

Smiles had been sick a lot in December. A month and a half to be exact, with a few healthy days in between before getting sick again. =) Josiah took a while to recover each time he got sick... poor baby. I think he was just wondering what was going on with his body. Smiles is a very light sleeper when he's sick... (moreso than he usually is.) The house has to be TOTALLY quiet for him to sleep about an hour.

Our little one can also be a demanding one... Smiles LOVES being held, but will turn and squirm to get down when he wants you to continue holding him up while he walks around to explore. Our monkey LOVES walking around to explore. And he has no problems directing you where he wants to go. He can actually walk pretty fast when being held up.

Like all babies, Josiah can be clingy at times, but mostly when he’s tired or has been left alone for a while by himself. When he’s not tired, he can actually play by himself for a while, especially if there are lots of toys on the floor. He’ll spend some time on one toy and then move on to another toy after losing interest. But if most of the toys are put away, he gets into trouble and starts looking for cables, wanting to climb the stairs, opening cabinets, or taking stuff off our coffee table, shaking it up a bit, and then throwing it on the floor.

One cool thing is that he can turn the pages in a book now (when it’s lifted a little)! It was so neat to see him begin to do that.

And here are some shots of our little Crazy being a handful…
