10 Months...Already?

How can it be that we are just 2 months away from RL's first birthday? Parenting is like being in a time warp these days. The little guy just keeps getting bigger, faster, stronger, and more fun! He is all over the place now, often headed where he doesn't need to be. As AG said a few weeks ago, "L always wants to play with the things he shouldn't play with!" Specifically, he is less and less interested in the toys I set out in the middle of the floor for him and more and more interested in exploring the perimeter of the room, including electrical cords, outlets, cabinets, and floor lamps. Here are a few photos taken recently:

His first "teething biscuit"...'tis the season!


He has 3 teeth on the bottom and most recently cut one on the top. He's getting quite a little toothy grin!


He loves laughing and is always glad when his Daddy gets home from work!


I took these today...true 10-month-birthday pictures!


Everyone has an opinion on which sister he looks most like. He's always reminded me most of AG and continues to look more like her all the time, in his own boyish way!


The center of attention...


and a target for his sisters' kisses!


I may have to up my child-proofing game in the kitchen soon!


Always checking things out...


and having fun doing it!
