Desmond is 10 Months Old



Desmond is 10 months old today and the following are all of the things he can do. There's probably more, but these are the ones we can think of right now.
  • Walk with a walker and holding our hands.
  • Say "booo" for "moo" for what a cow says. So funny, he has a hard time saying "m" sounds but he tries and "booo" is what he can muster up.
  • Dances by bopping up and down whenever he hears music or we sing to him. He will also dance if you ask him to.
  • Loves to eat bananas and strawberries.
  • Has given up army crawling and only crawls the regular way.
  • Only wants adult food and will only eat baby food if he is the only one eating.
  • Loves pancakes with syrup.
  • Drinks milk out of sippy cups.
  • Gives Mama kisses on the lips when she asks him.
  • If you ask him where Mama's belly button is, he lifts up her shirt to find it, while saying "ba ba".
  • Top left center tooth is 1/4th of the way out.
  • "Bye" (pronounced byaa with a southern drawl) is what he calls the phone b/c he hears Mama say bye on it.
  • When Mama gave him his toy phone, he said, "bye" so he knows that it's a phone as well.
  • Has started pointing and will point at Stella's pictures and says "tetta" "tetta" and "Dada" for Dada's pictures.
  • Goes up the stairs with ease but there is still fear of him falling back.
  • Laughs when we say "a doggie says woof, woof".
  • Shakes his head no when he doesn't want something.
  • Understands "no" when Dada tells him no sternly when he is doing something he is not supposed to like grabbing electrical cords or pushing TV buttons and for the most part, listens to the "no" and moves over to another activity.
