10 months old

Today the boys are 10 months old. What a month we have had... Besides the constant runny noses and coughs, we have more teeth than last month, are experts at crawling, pulling up to stand (on EVERYTHING), sitting from a standing position, crawling on top of each other, grabbing items that the other has, like cheese toast but not spinach or berries, like to walk with an adults fingers, and love making messes. James just started the new yoga pose "downward dog" I believe it is called, pictured below. Chris loves and I mean LOVES getting a hold of books and "reading" them. James enjoys eating them. Both boys are "walking" from one end of an object to another and back again. Our days of having them sit and take wonderful monthly photos are LONG gone. This is the best we can do today. We are never still unless a stranger is around. James loves to "talk" stills says "mama, nana, dada and ah-da" but not to anyone person. Chris loves to laugh and just make noise. Did I mention that Chris spends half the day stealing from James... well James has taught himself how to steal back and Minh & I just smile and watch them do this all day long. We know in the future this will bring great anger and LOUD moments but for now we are just waiting.... They love to play together but a few times in the day they take little "time outs" on their own away from each other. As you can tell this has been a great month of growing. Can't wait to see what next month has in store for us.
