You are ten months today! Happy Fourth of July! This has been a month full of milestones and growth. You are 23 lbs. and 3 oz. 29 1/2 inches long. You are such a big boy! The other day in the mall I overheard a woman telling her friend, "what a huge baby!" I am amazed at your growth and your strength. This month we had to visit Children's Hospital to see the pumonologist. It was so so scary. You had a chest x-ray and a sweat test. In the end we discovered you have asthma.
This month you have learned to crawl forward and are now getting into EVERYTHING! Your favorite is Muse's water bowl and as soon as you see an opening you are splashing and having the very best time playing in it. You love to swim and have been in the pool a few times. You are pulling up on all of the furniture and free-falling backwards. You know that I worry a bit and always give me a huge grin right before you let go. Bath time with Daddy is also crazy time for you and you try and grab the faucet and pull up on the sides of the tub as he tries to wash you.
We are slowly getting into a sleep routine and you have slept through the night for a few weeks now fairly consistently. We're getting there, you and I and I am loving this time with you. When they told me that the Peace Corps would be the toughest job I'd ever love they were wrong...this is. I have developed a huge respect for stay at home moms! I try and keep you busy each day. Yesterday we had our first trip to the zoo and you will start gym classes on Monday. Wednesday is music and you loved banging on the different drums and clapping your hands while we sang.
It will be a crazy and amazing summer and I am so very blessed to have you in my life, my little wild one.
Love,
Momma
