Bowman...He's 10 months old!!

Look at how big you've gotten! You have so many tricks...and continue to make us smile every day. Let's see, where to begin?? Eating has gotten better; you actually have taken more solids without gagging. We haven't moved past Gerber pick up foods and Stage 3, but I can finally see the possibility in our future. You seem to have such a hyper-active gag reflex, so it's been difficult getting you to eat anything other than strained foods. But, Daddy and I have been diligent...maybe this month we'll finally get some actual bananas in you! You've also become very messy -- and REFUSE to wear a bib (as seen below!) Anytime I put one on, you pull and pull until you either rip it off or I finally give in and release you...I'm such a softie! You've gotten better with your cup, but by no means are we ready to drop a bottle. Again, maybe this will be the month??
You still remain such a happy boy....but have also shown us your serious side. You watch others with complete concentration. It's as though you are soaking in everything anyone says or does. You get caught up in these intense stares, but all we have to do is call your name and you send us one of those incredible smiles...seriously, is there anything cuter???

You've become quite the fan of standing; in fact, sitting around has become a thing of the past. Daddy and I often find you in the most bizarre places, but your favorite continues to be under the kitchen table! I often wonder if you will walk before your brother; Porter was taking his first steps at 11 months. You really aren't cruising too much yet, but need very little support to hold yourself up. Sometimes, you even shake your groove thing...it's so cute to see you bounce up and down to music. Maybe you got your rhythm from your Grampa Bud??


You've also become quite the little clapper. Anygtime we start to clap or even call out "YAY!" you bring your hands together and start clapping. I could watch that all day long (and I must admit, I egg you on constantly!!)

Bowman, we couldn't be happier to call you our little man...and honestly, cannot imagine our lives without you!
