great small things: jonah is 10 months old

He's in double digits! There were a few big things that happened this past month: First, he started pulling himself up to standing. He doesn't do it a lot, but if he does it once during naptime, he is bound to do it a few more times and then laugh if I lay him back down, like its a game. Secondly, his separation anxiety has been growing. He's very attatched to me, and he'll cry if he sees me walk away. Jonah does get real excited when he sees Adam, but then he gets over him real quick and wants to get back to me. If Jonah cries during the night and Adam goes to him, it actually makes Jonah more upset. He'll throw a fit if it's not me that comes in. And third, he sleeps through the night, for the most part. I think he got up once in the middle of the night in the past 2 weeks. He just naturally gave up his night feedings. It was nice.

As far as everything else, it is pretty much the same. He's eating more and more solids (loves grilled cheese), but he still likes to eat his purees (loves everything!). Loves his brother more than anything. It's fun to see them play more and more, but Tobey definitely gets frustrated that Jonah is not able to do everything that he can do. For example, if Tobey wants Jonah to see something, Tobey will try to drag Jonah over to where he wants him to go by the arm or shirt or whatever. Good thing Jonah is so rough and tumble! One of their favorite things to do together is wrestle, especially in the bath since we now bathe them together. It is giving me a preview of how they will be playing in the years to come, and it is going to be very physical! I'm mentally preparing myself for some trips to the ER now!

Another thing Jonah likes to do is roll cars around. Not sure if I remember Tobey doing this at 10 months so perhaps Jonah is going this so early because he watches his brother. Also, Jonah loves getting nightly popsicles...actually, Adam and Tobey give Jonah pieces of theirs. Jonah's eyes light up just at the word, "popsicle".

And one last thing before pictures is that Jonah is now saying "uh-oh" when he drops something. He then expects me to pick it up so he can drop it again! :-)
