He is so cute playing by himself in his bedroom. Such a big boy!
And boy when he gets tired and/or hungry everything is a big ordeal!

10 Month Old Videos
Not videos from ten months ago! lol Andrew since he's turned 10 months old! These are the newest ones I have so far. There are more on the camera to get off though!
Playing outside.
Watching TV and walking around.
This is a long one of him on his 10 month birthday day just walking around and crawling too.

Kind of old too. From July. I have so many new ones but I don't want to post them until I am all caught up! Ack. I have too much to do! I must be working on about a billion projects right now. lol
Here he is last month just chatting a bit and playing around with a box.
Here he is last month getting Raven on the futon. Raven deals pretty well.
His newest favorite thing to do is "read' his books. he sits by the shelf pulls them out one at a time and flips through the pages. I think he likes turning the pages right now more than looking at pictures but I am working on getting him to notice the pictures too.
We saw the doc this week and his iron levels are getting better but she isn't completely satisfied with where it is at so we are continuing the supplement. He is so good about taking it he opens his mouth for it now!
Did I mention he loves to eat? That child spends about a third of his day in a high chair or hooked on mom's boob I swear! Takes a lot of energy to walk I guess! :D

10 Months Old
Well our big boy is 10 months old now. And walking! He walks more than crawls at home now but is still crawling when he is in a big hurry! :D It's gosh darned cute let me tell you!
These videos are a few weeks old. But I wanted to get them up and shared before it was too too late. The first one is just him digging in the diaper bag. If I leave it open he goes through it. He loves to pull things out of boxes, bags, baskets, whatever! It's fun!
Sorry it is so dark.
This one is him playing in the kitchen cabinets. He is allowed in all but one of them and he like everything else, just empties them! lol He had been playing the pots like drums but stopped as soon as I started filming as usual. I also wish I could catch more of his new noises on video! He is getting the sweetest sounding voice!
I have started the new album for his 11th month and changed the names of all the others to reflect his age and not the month. I think it will be less confusing for us all. lol

More Walking!
He had been doing it for a long time before we got out the camera and he was getting tired of it by this time. But he still does a super job of walking. By now he is almost walking more than crawling. He still holds on a lot and loves to hold someone's finger while he just walks around the apartment. He lets go of things now and takes a few steps before getting down to crawl. He is making it completely across the room at times without getting down at all!
He finally got that 6th tooth through and today is already acting like his old self again. He was so sad and in pain big time for the last few days and slightly for the last few weeks. Last night he slept for 13 hours, pobrecito must have needed it big time!
He love love loves playing outside! He walks around in the grass without holding on sometimes even and picks up everything he finds. Then he examines it and throw it and picks it up again! He even takes a while before he tries to eat it and not everything goes into the mouth!
Well he is on me right now so it is hard to type!

So Close
Andrew is so close to walking it will be any day and he will just take off before our very eyes! I am working on another video we got of him doing it today. It won't be in this post though. It does seem like by the time we get the camera after a walking practice session he is just so over it.
He just popped his 5th tooth recently and is working on the sixth which is about to break through any second it seems.
But today he was taking steps without coaching, from furniture to other furniture and before getting down to crawl. With our coaching and leading, he would take several good steps before either sitting or lunging into us. Tomorrow he will be even better! Any day now I tell ya any day now. Damn, now he'll have to wear shoes when we go out! ;) We're going shopping for some tomorrow.
I can't upload videos right now because Google isn't accepting any this second. I am sure it just temporary and I'll try again soon. I have 3 to show! In the meantime, new pics are up in the online album!

You Won't Believe These!
Here our smarty pants has figured out how to put his little blocks into a different container! Does this mean right around the corner he'll start putting his toys away? ;) This is just the other night and only his second night doing it. The first night he did it with his wooden blocks. He started by handing them to me and I'd just hold my hand out with one in it and he wanted to put more. So I got out the other basket! Didn't take him long to figure out something new to do!
It's funny how exciting it is to see a new little person do these things!
So what's next, you say?
...
THIS!!

Andrew and his Mesh Feeder
His teeth must not have been bothering him much this day. Usually when his teeth hurt he'll gnaw at the frozen fruit inside. This day and only this day he uses it like a Popsicle!

9 Month Old Baby!
Wow here we are. 9 months in. What an adventure already!
I cannot upload more videos for a bit because we are having issues with our shared folder between our computers. But I will try to get on Andy’s to get some since we have so many right now! But he is on there most of the time so we’ll have to see. ;)
OK, big news. 2 days ago Andrew took his first steps! They were from Andy to me and back again and throughout the day. Then yesterday he did about 1 more over at our friend Bob’s house. He was way too busy at Bob’s to focus on walking!
It is shaky and difficult for him still but he gets it and I am hoping he will soon see how much more efficient of a method of self movement this whole walking thing is! We will continue to work with him daily. As of right now, I am counting first steps as the day before his 9 month birthday!
He has his 9 month check up tomorrow. I have no idea what this one will be like so I have a bit of anxiety. There will be no shots so that is a great relief but they will do a blood test and I am hoping it won’t be like they did when he was days old and had to have bilirubin checks. That was so heartbreaking and now that he’s older it would be harder to get him to hold still for them to drain his little heel and I know I’d have to hold him and I hate to think that he’d associate me with that. I hope they just prick his little finger! They will check iron and lead.
I also hope he is fine with those 2 things. I do not take iron supplements and every time I have been checked I have been way over the minimum so I hope he is getting enough from me. I haven’t been too focused on giving him iron rich foods but I will if they say his is low or anything.
I am excited to see how much he has grown. It has slowed a lot but like Pappy said last weekend, he feels like a hunk of lead! He is tall and solid!
Things are so great around here though. I do feel like the time slips away so much more quickly than ever before in my life! We are always on the go it seems. Even the days that we say, OK, we are staying here and not doing anything, we end up doing something!
Andrew is still a great sleeper and nurser. And he is about to get 4 new teeth I think. It is hard to tell for sure now that he has some in there!
He eats everything and anything he finds on the floor. Cat food and hair mostly!
He also eats about any food we put in front of him! His newest dinner is brown rice with peas and roasted red bell peppers and green onions. All homemade of course and he self feeds that. But this morning I tiny diced up some nectarine for him and he couldn’t pick it up because it was too slimy so he let me feed it to him because he wanted to eat it! He was so cute getting frustrated trying to pick the slippery things up too, he would try and try and then bang on the tray! I cut up the rest of the fruit into pieces for his mesh feeder and put them in the freezer. It is like a little popsicle for him to chew when his teeth are bothering him. But he does eat a lot of food now. Still nurses a lot thankfully, but he loves to eat! He eats avocado as I am sure you have seen and has tried blueberries and cherries. Peas are his present favorite of course especially the dried ones his Grandma got him! I’ve also given him tiny bits of raisin and I want to get him some prunes. I don’t think we have a much of a picky eater on our hands but he could change when he hits his toddlerhood.
His Grandmother had his portrait done at Sears and he did really well considering he was sleepy by the time it was done. They are quite cute and she ordered a lot for us to share. She is so sweet to do that. We all can’t wait to see how they turn out on paper. They were cute on the monitor! It is so cool how they do it now. When I was a kid we had to look at the pictures after they developed then pick some to order then wait for those to be done too! Now they just pop them on the screen and sell them to you and all you have to wait for is the final prints!
I would like to remind everyone that any of the pictures on the online album are available in any size also if there are any you’d like just let me know which ones and what size.
Hopefully I will be able to get some more videos up soon!

Walking
Well, almost. But I tell ya, it won't be long now!
Trying to get him to show off rarely works
Here are a couple of videos from Father's Day. He started walking with the truck the day before so he is still really new at it here
This is my birthday morning again. You can tell he's getting better since it is over a week later.
Now he walks with darn near anything he can push! I am telling you, it won't be long. Then I really won't have time for these updates because I'll be chasing a running baby!!

This is the morning of my birthday, I am not telling what age! ;) Andrew is just playing with his toys. Every morning I sit and watch him revisit all his favorites while I drink my coffee or water and get woken up enough to fix us some breakfast. It is one of my favorite times of the day!

Andrew's Second Console!
It's really Daddy's but Daddy is very much looking forward to the days when he gets beat by Andrew on this gaming system! We got it for almost free and it was a fun long adventure to do it. Here is Andrew helping Daddy open it up!

Andrew and Raven
I took this during the weekend that GrandpaLee was here. And it was supposed to be of Andrew standing up hardly holding on at all but as usual he plopped down right when the camera went on! But I got some cute footage of him playing with Raven anyway. Enjoy!

First Time Swimming!
We took Andrew to our friend's apartment pool where she manages a week ago. It was his first time in a big pool and it was perfect! Our friend, Tammy, had her family over too so there were other kids to watch play. The weather was great, not steady sun beating down, some overcast and warm. The pool itself was so warm it was like a bath! Tammy said she'd been getting complaints about how warm it was from residents. Whatever! We loved it! And as you'll see Andrew did too!
At first he was unsure about what was going on, but once he got it, he GOT it! He would splash and splash and splash! We couldn't quite get him going on kicks just yet but it was all so overwhelming. We took him to the pool at our complex two days later and he loved that too! We'd love to take him every day but once it rains we have to wait for it to be cleaned again and the rain lately seems never ending... :(
