Carson at 10 months

I seriously can't believe that our baby is 10 months old, let alone ALMOST A YEAR!! He's just growing up way too quickly. So, here's his stats as of last week. He weighs in at a hefty 23 lbs (it's actually only in the 75% compared to the 90% plus which he's always been in) and is a whopping 30 inches tall. What a BIG BOY!!! I put together a list of his favorite things right now, along with the latest milestones he has reached.

CARSON'S FAVES:

1. MOM. I'm definitely #1 in his book and yep, he's a Momma's boy, in a good way :)
2. Food. A close #2. The kid thoroughly enjoys meal time and would do it all day long if I let him. So far, the kid hasn't met a single food he hasn't liked and trust me, we've given him EVERYTHING (well, except candy and sweets). He even already loves avocados, olives, tomatoes, broccoli (I know, weird), some of the things that you would think wouldn't be tolerated at his young age. But his absolute faves would include: any kind of pasta (esp spaghetti which he slurps up into his mouth), rice, mashed potatoes, any kind of fresh fruit (esp bananas, oranges, peaches, grapes, and pears), veggies (esp sweet potatoes, peas, and beans), chicken, yogurt, applesauce, and cheerios. But really, the list could go on, he loves EVERYTHING. Thank goodness for non-finicky eaters!!!
3. Balls of all varieties. He gets so excited when he sees one and immediately crawls to go grab it. He esp loves watching Austin kick the soccer ball around the house or when we roll it to him.
4. Electronics, esp cell phones. Hmmm, deja vu? :) But what boy doesn't, yep, are we in for it AGAIN. Austin has broken so many gadgets in our house.
5. Books with noises and fuzzy textures.
6. His soft polk-dot blankie which he holds with one hand, while he sucks his thumb to sleep. Too precious.
7. Taking baths with his brother. It doesn't matter how tired he is by the end of the day, he thoroughly enjoys playing, splashing, and getting water dumped on his head, watching his brother.
8. His thumb. Hands down the cutest thing to watch-that chubby little fist up to his mouth. But boy, will we pay for that later!
9. Getting tickled. He esp loves when Austin tickles his face, he just giggles endlessly!
10. Gabbing, babbling, squealing...Carson loves to "talk"!

MILESTONES:

1. Crawling (he started doing this at about 9 months)
2. Standing up on things
3. Clapping (and for no reason)
4. Waving
5. Saying "mama", although I'm not sure it means anything yet :) He's been saying "dada", "baba", etc forever, but about a month ago, finally started saying "mama"!!!
6. Not nursing anymore! (Probably bigger for me!) We recently just weaned him to a sippy cup-YEAH!!!!
