10 Months Old!

10 months old, and we can hardly believe it! This little blue-eyed, blondie has quite the personality these days. Full of prefrences and spunk, he keeps us on our toes.

• At 10-months, Jaxon has hit the 20 lb. mark (between the 50th & 75th percentile) and is still in the 99th percentile for height.
• He's sporting 6 little teeth (4 bottom, 2 top) and 2 more making their way as we speak! He hasn't been too fussy despite the teething.
• Jaxon is still really easy-going and laid back, however he is definitely showing us his opinionated side. He will surely let us know when he doesn't like something or when he wants our attention.
• He is still a talker. Extremely vocal...and not only that...he is LOUD! We are trying to teach him "quiet voice" but it's hard to contain his excitement. =)
• Jaxon LOVES animals and knows how to "roar" like a lion and "meow" like a kitty.
• Some of his favorite foods recently are yogurt, bread, pasta, black beans, strawberries, & turkey!
• We have encountered some separation anxiety...mostly when we leave the room, however he still consistently goes to other people and in fact, reaches out towards the one's he loves.
• Jaxon recently has learned to stand holding onto things and can make his way across furniture while holding on.
• While he gets on all fours on his own and can get a little ways, he still prefers scootin' and rolling. He definitely doesn't have a problem getting to where he wants to go. We think he is trying to skip crawling, but we aren't encouraging it.
• Still a great sleeper! He goes down between 7 and 7:30 pm and wakes up anywhere between 6:30 and 7:00 am. He has two naps that are about 1-2 hours each (on a good day!)
• Favorite things to do are visit friends, listen to music with Daddy, dance with Mommy, play peek-a-boo, go swimming at the pool, play with cell phones or remote controls, eat food, take baths, go for walks, play at the park, visit Nanna & Grampa, play catch with the ball, and take apart anything he can get his hands on!
• And finally, Jaxon is now fully POTTY TRAINED! Just kidding! Hey, I thought it was funny. =)
