Miles Man...

When people ask me my favorite baby age, I typically answer 10 months old. There's something magical about this month - you're a squishy little baby with a big personality and ready to just DISCOVER! I love it.
You are the sweetest little face - with hair that seems to have grown overnight. You are chubby but not super duper big - and I think I can sense you thinning out -- BOOO! I love my chubby little mush. 
You are now a MASTER CRAWLER - Into anything and everything, exploring every corner of our house. You're also very good and pulling yourself up - cruising along furniture - resting on your knees - and even standing unassisted. Your MOST FAVORITE thing to do is clap - you love it so much, we'll often find you clapping for no other reason then pure joy. You recently learned SO BIG! Which I love.   
You LOVE to play -- you're really great at self play. Your most favorite toys despite a basket overflowing with Miles mania is - my jewelry, remote controls, any phone, any ball, anything you can put in your mouth and anything you're not supposed to have :)
We are on a good sleep streak but early mornings. You typically wake up betwen 4 - 5 AM (uhhh) - sometimes you fall back asleep in our bed, sometimes your wide awake. Eventually we all wake up around 7 AM for school / work and you love this time. You crawl around our room, following anyone you will pay attention, sitting in the bathroom while we all brush our teeth. You take a morning nap for around 2 hours - again in the afternoon, usually around 45 minutes, then bed around 7 PM. 
You aren't saying any words but you babble a lot... I don't think you'll talk as fast as your brother and sister because everyone talks for you :) 
FOOOOOD You LOVE IT ALL. You've tried probably 100 foods at this point. We're doing Baby Led Weaning and you're really embracing it. I've yet to find a food you don't like. I think your favorite foods are eggs, blueberries, pasta with sauce, broccoli, cucumbers, pizza, fries and ... whatever I'm eating :)
You have 4 teeth officially. It's been such a beast - teething has been so so hard on you. BUT now - you have your top 2 teeth and your bottom 2 teeth. Perfect for eating!
I think your favorite person in the world may be Miss Kristen (your amazing nanny) and Mom-Mom (your babysitter on Tuesdays and Thursdays) - you love your days with them and we feel so lucky you have so many people that love you. 
Now that the weather is getting warmer, you're starting to spend more time outside and it's clear you love it! You went to the park yesterday with Miss Kristen and LOVED the swings - so much fun!!!

We have lots of fun things coming up…Grandma visiting, your 1st birthday / party, Abbey's Bat Mitzvah and SUMMER!! All great things. 

Your 1st birthday party is all booked and set - I'm going to order the invitations this week. It's all moving so fast and I'm not ready - but I love spending our lives with you so so much.

We love you!!!
mama, dada, Layla & Benny
