Reggie is 10 months old!

Reggie is 10 months old! He weighs 22 lbs and is 29 inches tall. He wears mostly size 12 months clothes and size 4 shoes. He has 6 teeth - 4 on top and 2 on bottom.

In his 9 month update, I mentioned he still was not rolling over from his back to his tummy. Well, he is now doing that, which means there is no stopping him! He has mastered pulling up (on everything/everyone constantly). He pulls up and holds onto our legs, and attempts to do this to Brett and Lydia, too. Lydia, in particular, really does not like this! He is also starting to do a little cruising. I have seen him stand independently once - when he noticed, he fell. He climbs the stairs if he is given the opportunity and he can safely maneuver down a step or two.

Let's face it. Reggie is really a lot of work right now! He's into everything! A couple weeks ago, we were all in the back yard and Reggie was crawling around in the grass, and I caught him eating a dead worm! Brett and Lydia were not as mobile during the summer months, so they were easier to contain. So, to minimize the problem, I went out that day and bought a walker off craigslist to use in the backyard. I didn't have one for Brett or Lydia because we don't have room in our house.

As busy as he is, it is a relief that he enjoys being carried in backpack carriers still. It is a lifesaver that we can keep him close and safe while we are busy doing other things!

I'm just speculating here, but I think Reggie has a very outgoing and boisterous personality. Not only is he loud, he has also always very much hated to be left in a room alone for even a couple minutes. He is proving himself to be quite verbal too! I'm pretty sure I've heard him say: all done, no no, nana (banana), uh oh, and Dada. That's impressive for a 10 month old!
