10 Months Old...

Paxton turns 10 months old on the 12th! It has been a busy month at the Hamberlin's...Paxton is a pretty busy boy and is learning new things everyday!
He continues to have pretty bad allergies...this was his first time sitting outside on the grass and as soon as we went inside he broke out in a pretty bad rash. It looks like we are back on our daily dose of Zyrtec.Pax is obsessed with his books...he has a huge basket of board books in his room and is continually tipping it over, pulling out the books, and flipping through the pages. He can't get enough. Right now he loves Peek a Book books (especially his favorite kitty Summer). He loves to give kisses to all of the animals and people on the pages. He loves animals...especially animal noises. He also is loves singing and dancing. His favorite songs are Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and Slippery Fish. He is babbling more and has learned some new sounds including F and S. He also says Da Da and Hi pretty consistently.
We have started the baby proofing at our house! Paxton is starting to pull himself up to everything...the other day we sat there and watched him stand up in his crib and then we immediately moved the mattress down. We also had to get a baby gate because he is all over the house. He is still too lazy to crawl on his hands and knees and just prefers to army crawl or walk with Mom or Dad's help. He may just skip crawling all together. He has learned how to wave and is so stinkin proud of himself...he waves to everybody and everything with a huge grin on his face! We are also working on clapping and blowing kisses but he just giggles every time we try to get him to do it.
Paxton has gotten into some pretty bad sleeping habits lately. Anytime he gets too close to the top, bottom or sides of the crib he just cries until we come in and move him back to the middle and cover him back up. At first he was waking up about 5 times a night but, after letting him fix the problem himself a few times, he now only wakes up once or twice a night. Lately he has decided that he prefers sleeping like this...
We have also been working on Paxton's eating this month. He loves to drink ice water but only out of a cup with no lid or straw so we go through a few outfits a day after he (or mostly Dad) soaks him with ice water! He still isn't really into baby food...one day he will like it and the next day he won't want a thing to do with it so we have decided to just let him eat more real food. He has tried alot of new things...pancakes, pickles, french fries, ice cream, strawberries, bananas, bread, noodles, popsicles, and more!
WE SURE LOVE OUR BIG BOY!!
Update: Andy took Pax to the doctor today because of yet another ear infection...he is now 18 pounds 3 ounces and is 27 1/2 inches tall...
