Double Digits

Jake turned 10 months this past week!  Wow.  How did that happen??

I feel like his little (or not so little) personality is showing through more and more.  I used to think of him as laid back, but I definitely don’t anymore.  He is quite strong-willed.  

Andrew and I sat down and thought of the top words that describe our adorable little munchkin.  I’m not sure in 10 more months if we’d use the same words to describe him, but here’s how our little Jake is now:

Curious.

Knows what he wants.

Determined.

Cute.

Funny.

Performer.

Independent.

Happy.

Sweet.

Adventurous.

Messy.

Into everything.

Andrew’s one word to describe him:  Determined (we can’t wait until he’s two…)

My one word to describe him:  Adventurous

Jake’s favorite things are baths and being thrown into the air/spun around/hung upside down. 

His favorite food changes depending on what Andrew and I are eating.   He seems to like the Italian genre best, with home-made pizza and spaghetti.  He also likes anything apple- little chunks of a honey crisp with his lunch or flavored applesauce, etc.  

I am surprised that he doesn’t like goldfish crackers, but loves peas (although picking them up and getting them into his mouth proves challenging).  He really likes yogurt and fights anything from a baby food jar.

He enjoys his toothbrush, but not having his teeth brushed.  Same with his hair brush.

He’s given up on his bottle and fights hard every time we try to give him formula.  But we still try 5 times a day.  He doesn’t like juice much, but loves drinking water out of mine and Andrew’s glasses.

Ohhh how we love this little boy.  Everything about him.  We are definitely those parents who think their little angel baby is perfect.  He is :)

Happy 10 months, my sweet little man!
