Amazingly enough 10 months has crept up on me so fast. I can seriously not believe that Elem Zane is 10 months old. Every single day is like a new journey that he so gracefully seems to master. I will keep this short and to the point, because I know I could go on and on about all the things he does and loves to do every day. He is the joy of our life and makes our family so complete. Seth and I are so in love with this itty bitty person, it is almost amazing to even grasp where this love comes from. Every time he looks at me or Seth, or flashes us a smile, our hearts melt all over again!
This month, more so than any other month so far, Elem is developing a concrete personality. I can confidently say some things that I know he likes and finally understand how his little mind works. He is starting to talk, although only a few words and is finally mobile enough to get to the places he wants to go.
These days Elem is:
-walking all alone! all over the house, all over the yard..anywhere he can get to!
-also walks along tables, chairs and from object to object.
-can stand alone for periods of time
-can stand up in the middle of the room, with out holding on to anything., catches himself if about to fall, has great balance.
-loves to walk with walking toys and can turn them any which way he wants them to go.
-likes to push toys in front of his walking toys
-has 6 teeth-4 upper and 2 bottom
-feeds himself for the most part, would rather not eat, than you feed him.
-loves loves loves balls-walks around theh house looking for them, following them, picking them up and throwing them and then picking them up again! He is obsessed-
-loves sage and the idea of sage
-can say dog, momma, dada, and bye
-knows which toys are sages in the house and likes to play "shake" with her-where he holds the toys and she grabs them and shakes them from him. he giggles like crazy.
-thinks he is a muscle man, and likes to push huge objects-like hugh chairs around houses, and restaurants. He can not seem to get enough of pushing things around. He understands how to turn them and get them through corners, etc.
-other things:
-he can drink from a cup
-can roll the ball to us
-understands no and shakes head no if you say the word or if he is doesnt want something
-reaches when he wants out of the high chair or wants somebody
-loves to take a big bath with bubbles and with mommy and daddy in the bath
-favorite foods are baby gerber cheetos, vanilla wafers, chicken, macaron and cheese, green beans, and peas.
-totally done nursing and only formula feeding'
-sleeps from 9pm until 8am in the crib
-holds hand out to say good bye or hello
-mumbles daddadad gagaga babab -basically talking to you all the time
-enjoys books and being read to.
-loves music toys and things that make noise
-does not like to get dressed or get diaper changed.
okay okay I know that is a lot, but I just wanted to document everything I could think of for right now. Our little man is almost a year old and soon I am going to begin preparing for his big birthday party! Ill add more on that later!

I can definitely attest to his wanting to move things, when we were there I thought he was actually going to carry the bouncy seat out to the car for us! haha! He is such a big boy...you guys have done such a good job with your first little one!
