Alpin has hit the 10 month mark, which means he is going to be a year old before we know it. My goodness time flies. Every day I come home from work he looks different, and each day he is learning something new. Just tonight he was clapping and drumming a rhythm with his hands, it blew our minds. He also still loves to push his toys along the ground as he crawls, as if it were a car.
Now he is constantly babbling and talking, it is so adorable. He definitely is articulating more, and gaining more inflection. Plus he has started to point at things with his teeny tiny finger which is such a cute way for him to communicate (for now). He still does not have stranger anxiety and will let anyone hold him. It's nice for us at parties or gatherings so we can have a break.
His biggest development this month has been his personality. He is so funny, he will dance to music (we never even taught him!) and will laugh so easily compared to before. He's ticklish and he will imitate us.
As per tradition, he also loves cheerios (aka power pellets), and we always have them on hand for him. He really loves to feed himself, although we're not brave enough to face the mess of letting him handle his own spoon yet.
Walking is on the horizon - he cruises around no problem, and can stand for quite a long time without holding onto anything for support, until he gets bored and sits down.
His daycare has some pretty hilarious stories about him. He's the youngest baby (all the rest of the 6 kids are around 2 years old). Apparently he's the first ever to figure out how to open the baby gate, and he sprang loose all the toddlers. Terry said she turned around and there was Alpin, leading all the kids out behind him. I about died laughing.
And don't worry, he still loves bath time and his favorite song is still Yellow Submarine!
We are so excited for his first Christmas, we cannot wait!
Alpin talks with his hands, just like his dad:
And Christmas comes just a little bit early...
