On October 22nd, Sawyer celebrated his 10 month birthday. It was full of excitement because it was also the first day that he walked! We had noticed that Sawyer loves to be outside, but hates the grass. I think it's a texture thing because he refuses to get down and crawl on it. However, he is definitely not afraid to crawl inside, so he reverts back to this anytime he wants to get around. So, I put two and two together and took him outside to teach him how to walk. By the end of the evening, he was taking multiple steps at each effort. The only problem is that he still reverts back to crawling when we are inside, but I'm sure he will be walking steadily soon.
In other news this month:
- He FINALLY got a third tooth. His top right incisor tooth pushed through after what feels like an eternity of waiting.
- He became a big cousin on the 21st! He is still getting used to her, but I know he will love her just as much as the rest of us soon!
- He has definitely learned the meaning of the word "no". We have been working with him for a few months now, and he is actually pretty good about listening to us when we say it. We
- He went through a phase this month of throwing mini-temper tantrums (this may be an Ashley trait) when we change his clothes. I'm really not sure why, but he really doesn't like it when I pull his shirt off or put another one on him, no matter how gentle or quick I try to do it. However, his daddy gave him a good talkin' to (as we say it in the south) and he is doing MUCH better. Every now and then he will whimper and act like he wants to cry out, but usually refrains.
- Up until his 10-month birthday, he refused to take a step without holding on to something or someone.
- Is starting to eat more and more table food, which in turn has caused him to turn up his nose to his bottle. He will eventually drink it, but prefers "real" food.
- His hair is FINALLY starting to come in! He always had some hair, but it was very light and hardly noticeable. This month, I can really see it coming in and getting a lot darker.
- He no longer likes to be held unless it's bed time. This makes me really sad.
- I think he is beginning to really connect our names with our faces. When I walk in the room in the morning, he will jump up and down and say "mama". When Steven comes home from work, he will turn toward the door and say "dada". Is it just me, or is hearing your baby say your name the best feeling in the world?
