Ethan at 10 months

Ethan turned 10 months old on Monday. It's hard to believe time has flown by so fast. He is at such a fun age where his personality is really beginning to show and he is all boy and into everything! We just added a gate to our house to keep him on one side of the house. I never thought we would have to, but I wrongly anticipated how much of a gunker this child would be!
At 10 months Ethan:
-is standing by himself. He pulls up on whatever he is playing near, then lets go and stands there, sometimes long enough to stand and clap. We think any day now he is going to take off walking!
-has 7 1/2 teeth. 4 top, 3 bottom, and 1 bottom tooth pushing through currently.
-loves most to mess with daddy's books....hence the gate.
-still isn't very interested in table food, but will eat a few baby puffs before the pretend gagging starts up.
-really knows people he sees all the time. He has smiles for mommy, daddy, and his grandparents...but he's not so sure about anyone else.
-LOVES bathtime! we have all kinds of toys floating in there...now the trick is keeping him sitting instead of standing in the tub.
-loves to be tickled! it's so fun to watch him as he anticipates it and then laughs so hard.
What a blessing this child is. So sweet and loving and entertaining. Every day we pray thanks to God for such a special baby and the opportunity to raise him.
