He didn't have his 9-month check up until about a week and a half before his 10-month mark so here are his stats.
Height:28.5 inches (48th percentile)
Weight:16.9 pounds (2nd percentile)
The kid is tiny.
He's super cuddly all of a sudden. He never was a cuddler and then suddenly he just loves giving hugs and putting his face against our and just laying on our shoulders. I love it. My favorite is when I get him out of his crib and he wraps his arms around my neck and gives me kisses.
He's still taking a third nap most days. But even if he naps until 6:00, he's still down for the night before 8:00.
He's a pretty happy baby but he will not laugh for my mom. She pulls out every trick in the book and he just stares at her.
He's started dropping things on the floor to see if I'll pick them back up for him. He's very studious about it.
He really does like all of his toys which is great but his favorite toys are his socks and doors. He'll crawl around with a sock in each hand all day. And if we leave a door open he will sit and swing it back and forth as long as we'll let him.
He also loves to play hide and seek with us. We'll hide around the corner and as soon as he finds us he makes this excited E.T. sound and comes and kisses us.
Occasionally he'll play peek-a-boo on his own with us. At first he would just uncover and recover our faces with a blanket or whatever. But now he loves to hide his own face.
He's started cruising around on furniture but only a little. He loves having us hold his hands so he can walk around though. He's so proud of himself when he walks around..
He shakes his head when he doesn't want something. (Not to be confused with his head banging) We're trying to to teach him to nod yes as well but then he just thinks it's a game and shakes his head no some more. A couple of times he will also shake his head when he's about to touch something he knows he shouldn't. Then he stops and shakes his head no. It's cute.
Speaking of dancing, he can't get enough. He'll dance to even the tiniest hint of a rhythm. Including the dryer. But never fails, as soon as the theme song for The Big Bang Theory comes on, he starts to rock back and forth and bob his head like crazy.
Some other things he loves, are trying to put things on his head, banging things together, and he's obsessed with cheerios. It took him until like a week ago to finally figure out that he can pick them up by himself (Instead of just licking them off the highchair tray) and that he should chew a bit instead just trying to swallow them as soon as he put them in his mouth. He likes when we put stuff on his head so he can shake it off.
He finally got a tooth less than a week before he hit 10 months. The one next to it has been trying to pop out ever since.
He had pneumonia, two ear infections and was trying to pop out that tooth all at once. Poor kid wouldn't eat, couldn't breathe, had more snot than I've ever seen, he was completely miserable and he was still so good. What a champ.
40 Weeks
He's pretty sick of me making him sit still on the couch.

This is his favorite thing to do when we're taking his picture. That or try to dive off the couch.
Ready for church
Playing peek-a-boo by hiding his face behind a plastic donut.
Love him
Kissing his reflection.
Being silly.
Kid seriously has needed a haircut all month.
Loves to pull out all the books from the shelf. It's even better when the scholastic box comes.
He drinks out of the shower cup grandma got him.
Mixing up his Marvel and DC comics (The hammer being Thor's. Obviously.)
Playing with daddy.
This is what he does when I tell him to make a funny face.
Sicky baby.
A benefit of sicky baby.
Found his thumb during some sickness.
Still happy while sick.
Loves to eat but refuses to feed himself. He also likes to hold the spoon but is baffled by the workings of it.
