The Adventures of Baby Boo: 10 Months Old?!?!

My little man isn't so little anymore! He's 10 months already and I'm finding it hard to believe that he's growing up! He's no longer a newborn baby, he's nearly a toddler! Ok, enough with the exclamation points (!!!) but it really is difficult to believe. He's having so much fun these days - crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on everything so he can 'cruise' around. He likes to pull himself up on the couches and walk along them to get things like the remotes, the pillows, my phone and anything else that may have been left lying around.

We attempted our first round of baby proofing a couple of weekends ago but it seems the things we can't 'baby proof' are the things he really wants - things like door stops that keep the living room and bedroom doors open. No matter how many times we say NO he still goes for them every chance he gets. They don't seem much fun to me, not sure where the fascination comes from? And the garbage and recycle bins, for goodness sake you'd think there was gold in them! You can also add to the list his dirty nappy bin - gross! You can be certain if I set him on the floor he will go for one of two things: door stop or some sort of nasty bin. Bleh! So i'm constantly chasing after him to make sure he's not covered in dust, garbage or poop. Fun times :)

In other exciting news; Jakson has figured out how to wave...well sorta. When we say 'bye bye' he tends to wave both arms up and down in an effort to say farewell. It's pretty cute. And he's getting better at 'kisses'. Rob and I show him every morning how to give a kiss. Before Rob leaves for work he says 'kisses' and plants one on me. Then he goes to Jakson and says 'kisses'. Sometimes he will get a big open mouth, tongue out kiss from Jakson, sometimes he gets nothing :) I am usually the one to get lots of kisses during the day. Big, wet, tongue wagging kisses from me wee boo. And I certainly don't mind being covered in the drool.

So here is my big boy recently - always standing up:
