Collin is Ten Months Old

Collin is now ten months old. Wow, how much things have changed since last month. To begin with, Collin is finally army crawling. After Christmas he decided he no longer wanted to sit still and play with what Mommy brought him and decided to take off and go get his own toys. Now every time we put him down, he immediately takes off to get as many balls as he can find and then brings them to the small area of tiles in his playroom so he can bounce them. He also chases Sweetie, our cat, anytime she comes near the playroom. He has not figured out that she runs away from him every single time and wants nothing to do with him.

With crawling, Collin is also able to make his own choices about what to play with. It is always balls or his toy car from Papa that he gets to ride in. Patrick and I are so happy that Collin has finally reached this milestone and is now becoming more independent and able to play on his own.

Along with crawling, Collin is also starting to pull up on his toys. He is not able to completely get himself up but can sometimes get to his knees. He is a hard worker and should make progress soon!

Collin is also LOVING his finger foods. His favorites are sweet potato cubes, pancakes, Wagon Wheels, bananas and puffs. He will still eat the jarred baby food but likes when we give him food on his tray to play with. Collin is also obsessed with drinking water. He will demolish his entire sippy cup if we let him. We have gotten to the point where we hide the sippy cup then get it out periodically to give him sips. He has also mastered the art of throwing any food he doesn't want or his cup across the kitchen. Mommy is not a fan of this!

It is hard to believe in 2 months we will be planning his first birthday party! Time goes by so fast!
