Oh my goodness!  This little guy is unstoppable!  He's crawling all the time now, walking when he wants to (only barely touching fingertips, but he won't let that comfort go).  He can walk up and down curbs and stairs, can climb up on everything and safely get back down.  He rocks in a rocking chair and has started showing signs of comprehension of cause and effect (knocking on the wall means sissies will come out of their room which means he should wave, etc).

We're moving up to size 4 diapers ASAP.  It's time, but we've just opened a new pack of 3's at both our house and Mimi's, so we'll go through those first, but we'll switch at nighttime.  He's wearing entirely 12 month and a few 18 month things now, size 4 shoes, but they're starting to get a little small.

A week after he turned 10 months old, we had another bout with thrush (only me at first it seemed, though he's had a diaper rash that won't go away, so I'm not sure if he's got it too) and had to (unfortunately cold-turkey since it was an emergency situation) stop breastfeeding.  There's really nothing this little guy won't eat though, so I'm not too worried.  I've been giving him some of the Pediasure diet correction drinks though to make sure he's well-rounded, but he's still adorably chunky so I'm sure he's fine.

He'll repeat (or attempt to) just about everything we say now.  It's not always intelligible and some sounds mean a couple different things so we have to rely on context quite a bit.

He's still obsessed with all things technological, switch-y, or button-y.  He's very set on his morning routine with Daddy - getting his clothes into the dryer, drinking water out of a big-people cup, opening and closing doors, putting in contacts, etc.

We've put the final touches on his birthday party and I'm trying to get things squared away for his one-year photo shoot and our family pictures for the Christmas cards.
