Dear Jax, 10 months

**Mama's Note: here I thought I missed the 10 month post, and it was in my drafts all along. :) **

Dear Jax,

You are already 10 (TEN!) months old! We can't believe you are inching so close to the big O-N-E! We have been loving your personality as it begins to show it's true colors these days. We are sure we are going to be a very busy mommy and daddy with you!

Some of the things you do these days that amaze us:
1. You love to pull out all of the spices and shake them like a baby rattle. You do not like to pick them up and put them away.
2. You love to climb in the dishwasher and pull out all of the dishes, dirty OR clean. You just love to bang around in there.
3. You are growing about 6 teeth on top, not including the 2 you already have on the bottom. Your mouth is getting full!
4. You say a few words: "Mama" (like once), "Da-Da" or "Da-Dy", "Ta-Ta", and I've heard "Papa" once also. You also say "Uh-Oh" when you "accidentally" drop something on the floor over and over. :)
5. You are a crawling fool and you love to cruise the furniture. Anything you can grab onto and you are up on your feet.
6. TODAY you took about 2 steps between Daddy & Mama.
7. You love to go in the dresser drawers and throw the clothes out, tossing them over your shoulder.
8. You love your sister more than ANYTHING (even Mama) and you especially love to pull her hair.
9. You love all things boy - cars, trucks, tractors - complete with making the noise with your mouth.
10. You are (almost) always HAPPY.

Our love has grown for you exponentially even in just the last month. Your giggle, your smile, your growl - we love it all!

You have proven to be quite the Mama's boy, which has been slightly interesting...:)

We are so blessed to have you in our lives. We can't wait to see what the next month brings...

Love,
Mama
