10 months old

Max turned 10 months old today. Another month closer to a year, but hey, it was bound to happen sooner or later, right? He's the funniest little guy I know. He's always so happy, always smiling at people, flirting with everybody! He eats mostly finger foods now, though we still have some jars and pouches, so we're finishing those off. He loves to eat! He's still nursing too. He absolutely adores his big sister and they always laugh at each other; my favorite is car rides back from school where they just talk and laugh and goof around together! He's got 3 teeth, we're still waiting on the second top tooth to pop through, but he's handled the top teeth a lot better than the bottom ones! He's standing really well now, he even stood unassisted for 3 seconds just the other day!
He's had a second sleep-over this month and he did surprisingly well. He's really just such a sweet baby and he likes everybody. He's still very attached to me, so whenever I'm around he doesn't want anybody else to hold him. When he wakes up in the mornings or from his naps, he looks for the monkeys on his walls and talks to them and wants to touch them, hehe. He's all over the place now, so we've put up the baby gates, although he doesn't mind them too much, they're just an extra place for him to pull up and stand. And his coolest new trick is drinking from a straw!
