Nolan is 10 Months Old

Today, my little boy is 10 months old!! Bill and I measured and weighed him tonight because he doesn't have to go back to the pediatrician until he is 12 months old. Nolan measured 30 inches in length and weighed 22lbs 3oz. Once again, we don't know how accurate these measurements are, but at least we know he is continuing to grow.

Nolan recently wore his first pair of Nike shoes.  These are his first pair of big boy tennis shoes!!  He thinks they're pretty cool, but he likes the shoelaces even better.  I have to double knot his laces every time he wears them because if I don't, Nolan will untie his laces and chew on them.  One of Bill's favorite colors is orange, so he thinks Nolan's shoes are pretty "slick." 

Nolan has started to cruise furniture, which means walking from one piece of furniture to another while holding on.  He has figured out a way to get around every room without crawling too far.  Nolan will even take the kitchen chairs and push them across the kitchen like a walker!! Bill says, "Nolan is rearranging the kitchen furniture again!!"  If Nolan has to crawl he carries objects in his mouth like a dog.  Nolan has a silly habit of taking off his right sock, putting it in his mouth, and crawling around the house.

Since he has mastered his sippy cup, Nolan wants to be a big boy and drink out of daddy's cup.  Nolan will sit next to Bill and watch TV, whenever Bill takes a sip of his cup, Nolan pats Bill on the arm to let Bill know he wants a drink too.  This cycle will go on all night......

 

Eating out is one of our favorite things to do.  We recent quite a few restaurants in our area.  Here Nolan is hanging out at Peel, a delicious fire oven pizza joint.  I have yet allowed Nolan to have a taste of any restaurant food.  I'm so nervous about him choking!!  He hangs out in his high chair, while eating his Puffs or Crunchies we bring along for him to snack on. 

Happy 10 Months Pooter Boy!! I love you so much....
