Baby Bear... or should I say Baby Monkey Update

It's been a while since I've done an update on the little guy. He is 10 months now!! At his 9 month Dr. appointment he had finally gone down in weight percentile to 60% (as opposed to 95% + that he has always been in the past) and he was in the 81st percentil for height and 88 percentile for head circumfrince. That's what crawling around at lightning speeds and walking around the furniture will do for you.... if only that worked for me! Anyways, Bear is sure A LOT of fun to have around. He is always in a great mood, loves to giggle at anything his brother does( and i mean full-on belly giggle), is still a great eater and has been loving real food as of late-probably due to the fact that he was 5 whole teeth now! Baron sleeps about 12 hours straight every night, recently learned to stand-up in the middle of the room without using any furniture, has been WALKING about 10-15 or so steps between John & I or from the TV all the way to the couch, and he is my little monkey climber! Seriously, this kid LOVES to climb and will use anything ( boxes, pillows, containers, big toys, his brother, etc. ) to get to higher levels. He is a master at going up stairs, but no so much at coming down (he accidentally fell down some the other day! yikes! Thank goodness he is ok!) Also, Bear has one little curl right in the middle of the back of his head which I think will be joined by more curls when the rest of his hair finally grows out. He loves to clap for himself when he walks or does anything new, and JUST 2 WEEKS AGO, HE SAID HIS FIRST WORD..... which was BALL of course.... just like his brother. They are both ALL BOY. He loves to pick up a ball, say it like 5 times and then chuck it... which is something else he loves to do... chuck everything. Along with throwing things, he also loves to wrestle and has been known to take down a fellow crawler or 2 at church and during story time at the library -which always makes the other kids cry, which in turn confuses him, because he is just playing and thinks it is great fun! I have to admit that I think its pretty funny.

Well that's about it! We sure love our Baby Bear!!
