Birdie Milestone.

Wren has officially been out longer than he was in. He is nearing 10 months old and he's coming along quite nicely. Here are some of his latest feats:
  • His newest word is "goggie" (doggie). Am I surprised? No.
  • He will sit and play ball for quite a while... rolling and even throwing it back and forth.
  • He sometimes does closed mouth kisses now, with his little bottom lip protruding.
  • I don't know when he will ever walk because any time standing is spent dancing. No joke. Wren IS a dancing machine. Ergo, balance is a little tricky to achieve when you are bobbing, shaking, and grooving. I love it, though, and encourage the dance. In the end, he will have phenomenal balance!
  • His fine motor skills are AMAZING!
  • His favorite books are "Five Little Pumpkins" and "Mr. Brown Can Moo."
  • He eats almost anything that I fix for him... he still doesn't like carrots, though.
  • He is VERY vocal and has been making lots of new, loud, lovely sounds.
  • He is very rough-and-tumble and not very cautious physically. We will need to work on this. He literally throws his body into everything that he does.
  • I think there might be a little bit of green creeping into the center of his eyes. Maybe.
  • He wears 18 to 24 month clothing.
  • It takes a long time to get all of his wiggles out before any period of rest.
  • He still loves bath time and pool time. He kicks and splashes like you would not believe.
  • He claps his feet.
  • He's a really nice little fella.
