I'm doing my best to stay caught up with Miles' monthly updates. Our little guy turned 10 months old two weeks ago and has been exploring lots of new things. He can now stand up on his own, without wanting to sit down immediately. He drinks from a sippy cup and has been trying to take a few steps here and there. It has been so much fun watching him grow up and try new things. You can tell he gets excited when he's able to stand up for a long time period without holding onto anything. It's cute. To say that Miles is getting into things would be a major understatement. He's still into climbing objects and tries to get as high as he can on something. Miles loves being outside and in the dirt. Being outside in the dirt is probably the one place where he doesn't need/want Brooks or I to be around. He's content and willing to entertain himself without us around.
Miles has also started showing major signs of independence... when it comes to eating-- he'd prefer to hold food himself or put the spoon in his mouth himself. He'd much rather table food then baby food, but is still willing to eat the baby food- thank goodness. Miles has decided he'd rather climb the stairs then be held when going up. The only problem is we're not ready for that!! We're planning on keeping the gate on the stairs up, but have learned we have to make sure it stays closed. Miles is fast and always looks to see whether it's open or not. He's pretty proud of himself if he makes it through the gate before we can close it.
**Pause my music to hear Miles squeal with excitement at his accomplishment!
Trying a sippy cup for the first time and standing up on his own.
Practicing walking with daddy.
Helping himself to some crackers in the pantry-- told you he's independent.
