10 months

You: started walking this month (9.5 months old--it has rocked our world). throw tantrums when you don't get your way. are starting to understand more words/phrases. love new experiences. are a crazy wild animal during bath time. are affectionate in the mornings and love to give kisses (more like slobber smooches). play "dead" if you don't want to be picked up. still have no fear of heights...waiting for that to kick in. learned how to pity laugh [no joke. if you know something is supposed to be funny you will fake laugh. I'TS A LIFE SKILL PEOPLE. we're proud. probably won't even miss us while we're in Mexico (but I secretly hope you will). are our sunshine boy. 

I: am loving each phase more than the last. enjoyed conference. need a vacation. want to start voice lessons again. am already starting prep for our ward Christmas program. wish my sister lived closer. have enjoyed sewing/visiting with my grandparents once a week. am excited for Halloween AND my birthday (woot woot!). am already planning Will's 1st birthday. am in denial that I will have a one year old in just 2 short months.
