10 Months Old!

Here is our 10-month old boy - can you believe it?!Here's the latest with George:

• He is starting to make lots of new sounds. He can now make the "d" sound, "t" sound, "s" sound, and I think I've heard him say "ya" a couple times :)
• He loves to cruise around the house pushing his toy bar although almost anything that he can push will do. The laundry hamper works pretty well. He can get from the front of the house to the kitchen walking and pushing. When he gets there, our baby gate is up and he pulls himself up and holds the bars and rattles them like he's in jail. It's pretty cute!
• He seems to be pretty fearless, especially around water. Yesterday at the pool with Grace, he was crawling around in the baby pool and didn't seem to even notice or care that it was getting deeper and deeper and just kept going. Last week, James decided that since George was crawling in his baby pool that it looked like a good opportunity to ride him like a horse. Even though G's face was pushed under a bit, it literally didn't even faze him.
• He loves to read books and got two free board books from the Denver Public Library for his hard work in their summer reading program!
• He is starting to give hugs and kisses and it melts my heart. There was a while there where all he wanted to do was push me away, now he loves to snuggle up and wrap his little arms around my neck. I love it!

We had an action-packed weekend with friends and family. Here are some pictures of our adventures:

At Alex Archer's 2nd birthday party on Saturday... Crawling with Grandpa in their backyard...Learning how to eat corn on the cob by watching daddy...With my Aunt Merna...With Grace at her pool in Parker... It's so hard to believe that George will be a year old in just two months! The time seems to have gone by so quickly, but at the same time it seems like so long ago that he was a newborn baby. We love you, George!
