10 Months!

Zachary turned 10 months old a few days after Christmas. He has changed so much. He doesn't seem like our little baby anymore. He is now a constantly moving and babbling toddler. He is pulling up on everything all the time. This pulling up began when we went to visit my family in Atlanta, but since we have come home - he has perfected it and does it nonstop. He learned how to pull up in the crib so we had to move the mattress down. It is very cute to walk in his room and see little eyes peeking at me over the crib rail. He now has 2 teeth! He is just like his mom and loves to have his teeth brushed. He talks non stop, also like his mommy! He says "Georgia" a lot, which is the name of our dog. He adores Georgia and she is equally interested in him, especially since he has proven to be a pretty reliable source of food. The cats on the other hand are not enjoying Zachary since he has become mobile. We often find him scooting along behind a cat who is trying to find a safe place to nap. Zoe has begun to stand her ground and is letting Zachary know who is boss with a few swats and nips in his direction. Ryan and I are learning that Zach runs our household and that we need to start setting limits and addressing behavior issues. That hasn't been going as well since Zach finds the word "no" entertaining and often a reason to continue with whatever behavior we are trying to stop. Consistency is our biggest weakness at this point and something we are working on. However, 10 months is proving to be a fun age and we continue to love him more and more each day!
