10.5 months

Bennett is 10 months old already!! We've been busy traveling and just with everyday life! Bennett is a crawling, pulling up, cruising like crazy baby! He will be walking in no time. He is very very close at this point. AGH! It's insane how fast they learn how to do things. He is on the move, all the time! He can pull up on anything and we recently learned he can pretty much crawl up the stairs in about 10 seconds. Whoa. He is a fast little dude!  At his sitters house he stood up in the middle of the floor yesterday, just by himself - really?!?!?!!!  Make him stop growing up, y'all!!!

Bennett absolutely LOVES books.  Any book you open he immediately smiles and sits there patiently waiting for you to read a book to him. It is seriously the cutest thing ever. His favorite books are "Where is baby's belly button?" and any sort of touch and feel, or peekaboo books. We still haven't really heard his first word yet. There have been some dadadadada's and some mamamama's but I'm not counting it until he actually says a word and knows what he is saying. He knows tons of words already such as "NO" haha!  His lip will really poke out sometimes if you say it too loud...it's cute and breaks my heart at the same time!  He knows these words: Gracie (our cat), kiss, bye bye, hello, dog, book, eat, mickey mouse just to name a few.  Oh and he definitely knows the word "dance" - he will literally start waving his arms around and if he's standing will start to bounce up and down. It's so cute. Funny how they start to learn words way before they can speak them.

I've started planning his first birthday party...um, excuse me - where did the last year go? People warned me that it would fly by, and it freaking FLEW by. Ugh! They definitely don't stay small for long. :( I am looking forward to hearing Bennett talk to us and be able to walk around with us outside though, I think that's going to be so much fun. His birthday is going to be Mickey Mouse themed. He loves some Mickey Mouse! Hot diggity dog! Enjoy the pics.

First haircut! He can rock a faux hawk!!!

My first Mother's Day with my little man!
First time in the big pool! He loved it.
Fun day!!
UH OHHHH!!!! Poor baby! May have some trouble with Santa this year.
He is giving Cocky the stink eye.
He almost pulled Spurrier's hair, I still die laughing every time I see this picture.
First time at the lake, and first time on a boat ride!!!

Crawling in the sand is cool.

Eating big boy food...Mommy gives me microscopic pieces because she thinks I'm going to choke. ;)
