This week marks Drew’s tenth month of age! Still three pounds short of twenty (he can have a front facing car-seat at twenty pounds which I know he will LOVE), he has developed into a humorous and active little boy! He enjoys a new game…crawling as fast as he can down the hallway, laughing the whole way, while you chase him. It’s pretty cute too see how excited he gets when he anticipates things as you joke with him!
Drew has also become quite the eater! He can put away almost a whole can of Gerber Graduate Raviolis plus a few servings of fruit! He can eat just about anything that’s softer, but we have to cut it up into pieces a little bit bigger than a pea. For most breakfasts, he enjoys three dollar sized pancakes and a half of a cut up banana. His favorite lunch consists of American Cheese, Turkey & Lightly Salted Saltine crackers. Dinner favorite is hands down Raviolis and a side of peas and carrots (he likes to squish each pea with his pincher fingers before he eats it). It’s funny to watch him eat because he will pick out all of his favorite part of dinner like the peas, then moves onto just the Raviolis, then goes back for all of the carrots, no matter if they are all mixed together.
Since it has been raining for the past week, we haven’t been able to go outside much and Drew is feeling the cabin fever set in! He crawls up to the glass door to the back yard, stands up, puts both hands on the glass and then squishes his forehead on the door and presses his face against the glass. Poor little guy! Hopefully it will stop raining soon, even just for a little bit, so we can go for a walk!
He still hasn’t taken those anticipated first steps without assistance, but I swear they will be just around the corner! He can totally free stand without the aid of anything, but then squats down to crawl when he want to go somewhere. I can’t imagine how much more the kid could get into once he walks! EVERYTHING is fair game when it comes to putting things in his mouth! Brad pulled out a leaf from his mouth this morning…I swear the house has never been so clean!
