Dear Nash,
Ten months? I absolutely cannot believe that you are ten months old. I am sure my disbelief at your age and growth is getting a little old to read, but you have no idea how quickly time flies with you.
You have changed so much in the last month. You crawl everywhere. There is no more leaving you anywhere and expecting you to be there if I turn around. We had a couple of weeks where I was scared your noggin was going to be forever damaged by all of the head bumping, but you gained your stability, and you catch yourself quite nicely now. You have teeth! Two, in fact, on the bottom. The right came in first and the left is still working it's way through the gums.
You are a happy boy. You giggle, laugh, screech, and babble all of the time. You are a curious boy. You use your index finger and poke at all sorts of things to try to figure out how they work. You are also a bit of a mischievous boy. You like to head toward the fireplace and one certain piece of loose trim board to try to pry it off. You know you are not supposed to do those things, so you look back and laugh!
You are eating three meals of table food everyday, though you really don't love anything healthy or meat. This is not a good sign. You like Pirates Booty, grilled cheese, strawberries, peas on occasion, and turkey dogs. You still are on breast milk too.
Your hair is long and thick and blond. People keep asking when we are going to cut it; we have no answer. I love your hair and as long as it doesn't turn into a mullet, it's growing!
We have been so busy for the last month. We traveled for Thanksgiving, battled weeks of colds, hung out with our friends and family, and had a good ole time hanging out at home as a little family.
Nash, we cannot believe how quickly you are turning into a little boy. Your curiosity and wonder make us remember to slow down. You giggles bring the purest joy to us. I cannot imagine a day when you will not fit in my arms, but I fear it is coming all too quickly. I want to hold you forever.
Love,
Mom
