MDG is 10 Months

Confession: it's been almost a month since I've written.  It's been a madhouse getting back to work.  Our delayed terrible twos are setting in, MDG still (doesn't) sleep like a maniac, and I have the displeasure of working with someone who really stresses me out.

But, despite that, time keeps passing and this baby boy of mine is another month older.

Biggest change of the month would have to be that he now stands on his own for up to thirty seconds.  Yikes.  Is he gonna walk this month? Am I ready for that? Remember when I thought PDG would never ever walk? Now all I want is my sweet boy to just stay a baby. Mama's not ready for a toddler.

Well, unless it's a toddler who sleeps awesome.  Then maybe.

Speaking of, we just seem to take two steps forward, one back.  Now he sleeps until 3:30 or 4, wakes just long enough to cry out and wake the rest of us, before settling himself back down and leaving us lying there hoping to maybe drift off again before the alarm clock.

We've pushed him up to 12month clothes to accompany the onset of fall-ish weather. This change also makes him look so big-boy-ish I can't handle it.

His laugh is still contagious, his smile unrelenting, his hair wilder by the minute, and his desire to have and do everything big brother PDG has/does is unstoppable.

It's enough to make me say uh-oh.  After which MDG will probably say "uh-oh," because that's happening too.

Where's my baby and who is this ten month old child?!
