10 Months

A couple days ago,
I went to Abram's crib to wake him up from his nap so we could go teaching with the missionaries 
(poor baby's getting over his 2nd ear infection this season), 
and I was literally startled when I looked in there and saw 
a big, blonde boy in a striped shirt and khakis...
It wasn't that long ago that he was our dark-haired, bitty baby in a onesie!

He's 10 months old this week, and I truly love him more every day.  
I feel so blessed to be his mother--I love to watch his curiosity, determination, and innocence.



New with him:
-He started crawling the day after I wrote his 9-month post.  
-He stood up to the couch for the first time a couple days ago, and now he scoots along it.


-He has the cutest sense of humor!  He loves tilting his head to one side while he's in his high chair, and giggles when we copy him...and does it again and again and again!
-He'll also put his arms straight up and wait for us to tickle him.  :)


-He loves getting food on his hands and rubbing it in his hair.
-He still loves baths and is ALL over the place in the tub!

Mr. Mischevious
-He still likes vegetables better than fruits.
-He still LOVES it when Ben comes home!

He makes the funniest faces!
-He loves when Ben rubs his back or legs and feet--he'll actually sit still for a few minutes!


-He plays peek-a-boo with whoever's sitting behind us in church (he'll smile at them, then bury his face in my shirt, then go back and smile at them again :).
-He "shows" me his toys by holding them out straight in front of him and looking at me...so cute!

Those eyebrows.
-He loves playing "pass" (rolling a tennis ball back and forth with us)...and he's surprisingly good at it.
-He laughs when I give him "eskimo" kisses.


-He loves the vacuum, oddly enough.  He bounces up and down (on his bum) and flails his arms when I turn it on.
-He needs (another) haircut!


Our 10-month-old baby boy...innocent, pure, and sweet as can be.

He is sooooo adorable! I love his little expressions. He looks like a precious little trouble maker. I can't believe he's standing up next to the table. I almost started crying when I thought of Emma being that big soon ( I almost cry whenever I think of her growing up at all). Yesterday I went to put her PJ's on, and she wouldn't fit. She outgrew her newborn clothes overnight, and I've been quite distraught about it.

These are priceless pictures of our sweet little grandson! Still looks more like Ben everyday :) Love you!

He IS a big boy! He's looking less and less like a baby each post. It's so scary how fast they change. I'm already forgetting what it feels like to hold a newborn. I had the hardest time when I had to put away the newborn clothes too. I literally tried to stretch them over Jack's head, refusing to admit that he was too big.
I love that Abram's eyes are still blue! I hope they stay that way because they are beautiful :) When do you think you'll be able to come visit Utah again?

Kristin, you and Ben have every right to be proud of that handsome, Abram. He still looks like he's come straight from Heavenly Father. Give him Eskimo kisses for Great Gma and Great Gpa.

Oh my goodness he looks so old in the pics where he's standing up! Wish we lived closer so we could see the little guy more often. :)

I love your family pic! A family of models! You guys should be in a magazine or someth.

Janice Eide said...

Grandpa and I love your new family picture. We are excited that we will be able to see your beautiful family more often when you move to Santa Rosa.

I just love these updates!! It is fun our boys are so close in age because everything you write I am feeling the EXACT things about Johnny! Abram is just so sweet! I want to meet him!

Jack loves the music on your blog so much I had to go buy this album. He'll just stare at Abram for hours if I let him. They really are supposed to be friends!
