10 months old.

Poor thing...he had a very bad fall.

Tomorrow Jax will be 10 months old. That means I only have 2 months to plan his 1st birthday party...am I a bad mommy if I have not even started thinking about it??

It has been so fun these last couple of months to watch Jax grow and see his little personality coming out. He is generally a very happy and joyful baby but lately he has decided he likes to squeal very loudly when he does not get his way. He has learned what No means, but he thinks its a game to keep doing what I asked him not to do. And when his toys don't seem to do what he wants them to he gets really frustrated and throws the toy around and starts screaming at it. I know its very frustrating for him, but it makes me laugh to watch him get so worked up. I can hardly believe and am so amazed at how much he's changed and how much he is learning!
Here are 10 of my favorite things about Jax:
1. When I say "Give mommy kisses", he leans in. awe--just melts my heart.
2. He likes to play Peek-a-boo with a blanket or clothes by himself and covers his head and starts laughing at himself.
3. He has learned to give "High 5" and actually slaps my hand when I ask
4. He loves his naps and for the most part falls asleep on his own.
5. He laughs so hard when I chase him around the house. He thinks it the most fun game in the world. He starts getting excited before I start chasing after him....if I hide it makes it even better!
6. When he hears his daddy come home he stops whatever he is doing and follows his voice to go find him....just precious.
7. We sit at the piano together and he loves to play and sing all by himself...he does not like it when I try to play along!
8. For the most part he keeps himself entertained with his toys...which lets me get some work done around the house.
9. Sometimes throughout the day he'll crawl over just to give me hugs, then he'll go back to playing...he is such a sweet boy.
10. I love his laugh!!
