10 months

10 months already! Actually, 10 and a half months now. Asher has changed so much this past month, probably more than any other month so far. He is such a happy boy these days. He is getting over his stranger anxiety, slowly but surely. He doesn't fuss much these days since he has become more mobile. I guess he likes his freedom.

 Here are some things he has been up to lately. He finally, FINALLY, started traditional crawling just before he hit 10 months. He had been doing this funny army crawling/scooting thing forever. I didn't think he was ever going to really crawl. All of a sudden though he is just all over the place. He would still much rather walk than crawl so he's always pulling at our hands for us to walk around with him. It's pretty cute. When he's not walking with us he's usually walking along the furniture, the walls, with his walker, or anything he can get his hands on. I knew he wouldn't crawl for long. I'm sure it will be any day now that he takes his first steps. He is already getting brave and letting go of us while he's standing. He gets so proud everytime he's standing alone. He'll get a huge smile and start clapping for himself. It's adorable. Every time we go to get him out of crib he's standing in the same spot jumping up and down.

His little personality is coming out more and more. He sure has an opinion about things and may be just be a little stubborn already. I don't know where he would have gotten that ;) He is so sweet and happy though. He likes to play peek a boo and will even put his hands over his eyes and say "a boo!". He can wave now and thinks it's so funny. He copies our words every now and then. We have heard him say yum, a boo (peek a boo) and book. He actually said book unprompted the other day so we're counting that as his first word. He is a great eater now and will eat just about anything we give him. He's figured how to bite the lids off of things like his Gerber puffs and it's one of his favorite things to do. He'll pull them out of the diaper bag, bite the lid off and take a big handful. Sometimes I let him just because it's so funny.

We love how much he's growing and learning. It makes us so proud when he learns new things! We love our Asher boy!
