Tommy Is 10 Months Old

My baby is 10 months old today. He is growing up so fast. I look at him and can't believe how big he has gotten. It feels like just yesterday I was in the hospital with him.

Tommy is the strong and silent type. You can see there is so much going on in that head of his, but he is so quiet. He often will just wander off to do his own thing. He has no problem crawling into the playroom by himself and playing. The other day, I knew he was in the kitchen playing with the pots in his favorite cupboard,but then I heard him start screaming. I went in to see what had happened and the picture below is what I found. And yes I am a bad mom because I took a picture before I pulled him out.

Tommy loves to climb and is into everything. He likes to try to do everything Eddie does and gets so frustrated if he can't. He is so close to walking. He can stand forever on his own. He has just found the fastest way to get around is to crawl, so if he needs to get somewhere he will drop to his knees instead of walking. Dan has started taking him into nursery every Sunday because he will not sit still. We barely make it through sacrament.

He sometimes sleeps through the night, but not often enough. Apparently, I will not be one of those lucky moms who has a baby that sleeps through the night starting at a few weeks old. It's more like a year.

He is a tough kid. Eddie definitely has a tendency to not be very soft with him, but it is rare he will cry. I have to laugh though because as soon as he is a little more mobile he is going to give Eddie a run for his money. Tommy will steal anything he can from Eddie. So I have taught Eddie to sit on the couch, or go where Tommy can't get him. But that isn't going to last for long.

My baby has such a sweet spirit and a soft heart. It is hard to tell him no because he looks at you with this sweet smile that makes you go "Oh never mind.". But the few times I have had to raise my voice to him he is instantly in tears.

As much as I want him to stay little, I am excited to see as his personality continues to develop. He has a quiet mischievousness that is going to be hard to keep tabs on. I have a feeling he will be the one causing problems and Eddie will be taking the blame. I can't believe I will be planning his 1st birthday soon. My how the time flies! I love you TOMMY BOY!!!
