Nathan: 10 Months

Today as I took your ten month pictures it was the first time I looked at you and I didn't see my baby anymore. The love I have for you cannot be written or explained. It is so strong it makes my heart want to burst. My post pardon journey with you has been amazing. I think about it so much. The light, joy, and happiness I have felt with you overwhelms me. Within seconds after you were born I felt this overwhelming feeling of being complete. You were immediately placed on my chest and stayed there for what seemed liked hours. I never wanted to let you go. You nursed right away and with no problem. Not once have you ever had an issue with nursing. You have always known that mom has your food and you have always wanted it. I remember the first few days of your life dad and I would take three hour blocks holding you so you wouldn't have to go in your rocker. I don't remember the lack of sleep. All I remember is the closeness we shared. I love you Nathan so fiercely. It breaks my heart a little to see you grow so quickly. Although I know what is ahead of us from raising your wonderful big brother. So many incredible and fun milestones are awaiting us. I look forward to them and also want them to come as slowly as possible. This first year of your life is one I will cherish forever.
Your favorite bath toy is an ice cream cone. The second you are in the tub you lunge for it. I think you like it so much because you can sneak bath water from it.
When you are hungry and tired you bite my shoulder and sometimes really hard.
My favorite smile of yours is when your entire face just squishes.
You like dropping things and then dropping them again and again after we give them back to you.
The hardwood floors are not very soft for your learning to crawl on.
Any time the fridge door opens you stop whatever you are doing and crawl as fast as you can to get to it.
While changing your diaper one day I found a pacifier in your sleeper. You don't even like pacifiers.
For a few days you were super gassy when you nursed.
One of my favorite things is after you nurse you will nestle into my shoulder while I rock you. Those cuddles and loves are amazing.
Every time I lay you in bed for a nap or bedtime I always rub your head, then your back all the way to your bum, and end at your feet.
Oh my word you are making the cutest baby noises lately. This high pitch cooing and giggling sound.
Another thing I found in your sleeper when I was changing you one morning, a dryer sheet. It was in the foot of your sleeper.
Sometimes when you sit you will cross your legs. It is adorable.
I honestly don't know what it is but I just love smelling you. I can't get enough. I especially love smelling your head.
I was holding you and your toy fell onto the floor. You broke out laughing out loud. It was so incredible. I immediately put you down and Everett and I continued dropping the toys on the floor while listening to you laugh.
Watching you crawl to the bath naked is so adorable. You get so excited.
Everett likes calling you Bubs. Every day when he gets in the car from preschool pickup he says hi Bubs.
The worst thing you started doing is grinding your teeth. It is only when you are eating but it is terrible and makes me cringe.
I love how you chomp onto toys.
You've started banging your head on the back of your highchair. Everett did the same thing as a baby.
You make this sweet little sound almost like you are trying to say something. It sounds like bwah and its like you are blowing something.
You are starting to realize you can pull yourself to stand. It won't be long now until you are doing it all of the time.
Nathan I honestly wish this baby stage could last another year. I am not ready for you to turn one in a couple months and start walking and talking and grow up. I have enjoyed this stage with you so dearly. You have the sweetest little spirit. You have a spunk and fire in you that is contagious. I can already tell you are going to do great things. I see a lot of your dad in you. You are stubborn and fierce. We love you so much Nathan.
