Ten Months

Wow!!! This time last year we were putting the crib together and getting Gage's room ready for his arrival. Infact, we hadn't even decided for sure what his name was going to be. We were calling him "Leo" in the interim. If someone knows how to slow down time PLEASE let me know, this little guy is growing up too fast!!!!!
Some of Gage's favorites this month:

 Trains; especially when he can push them around and around


 Of course nothing tops playing with trains like having your trusted spatula with you!

A puzzle with sounds! I got this at a rummage and Gage loves it

Walking; with a little assistance of course! Gage loves to walk -- whether it's with a push along toy or us holding his hands and guiding him
 Yes, cooking utensils are still making the list :)

Coloring/Drawing: I should have put this picture towards the top because coloring is a top priority for Gage right now

Gage likes to load his toys up in things and then push them around: Take three for the spatula in hand! :)
 Gage loves to help mom in the kitchen, especially if he gets to help unload the utensils
 Gage is adjusting to table food very quickly and is loving it. Infact, when Rob and I eat, if we don't share, Gage will let out a few squeals to let you know you are not getting away without sharing.


 Things Gage is not fond of:
 Gage doesn't like it when daddy goes outside without him
 He doesn't like to sit when taking baths

Being in a room without mom or dad. If we leave the room he is quick to crawl right behind us.
 You will feel a tug on your leg
 And as you look down you will see little baby boy reach up for you

Get real, he is so incredibly cute!! I still love his little face and his smile. What a little stud. I hope he gets to know us a little bit when we come out in 3 days he is going to be a ball to play with. Love love, the blue plad shorts outfit and his cheesy little grin, he is all smiles.

Shal, he is SO cute! I can't believe it's already been 10 months since Gage entered the world. I wish I could tell you the trick for getting time to slow down, but the sad thing is that it just seems to speed up. At least you are enjoying every moment.

Did you steal his red pajamas from the set of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers?
