Happy Halloween and 10 months old

It has been a fun and very busy month for us!  We have been to the zoo, the pumpkin patch, 2 trunk or treats and a reformation party!  Little man turned 10 months old yesterday.  Wow!  He is getting much taller and thinner (not thin by any means).  He loves his wagon, and he loves being outside.  He is such a happy little man!  He has started to state his opinion more often lately.  He loves pulling up and cruising around things.  He stands for longer without holding on now.  He loves opening and closing cabinets, and he is in to everything!  He is a tough little dude.  He can take a spill and barely even cry.  I hope he stays that way.  He doesn't really seem to be scared of much.  He loves to take a bath, and he cries when he has to get out.  He HATES getting dressed or getting his diaper changed.  I basically have to perform a musical to keep him on his back while I change him. :)

These really aren't in order, but here goes:

Cutest plant I've ever seen!

I don't think he likes his costume!

Fun at our Reformation Party

Growing so quickly!

Gaines now has 2 teeth.  I was beginning to think he was going to start kindergarten without a single one!  They are such cute little teeth!  He is pulling up on EVERYTHING and cruising around like crazy.  He love sesame street (especially Murray), bubble guppies, and eating!  He pretty much eats everything now.  At his 9 month dr. visit, he weighed 21.8 and was 27 1/2 inches long.  He is a big boy!  He is in a constant state of motion until he just runs out of gas and has to sleep!  He has also started to be very opinionated :).  We are starting to see a little temper shine through!  He loves all his family and people in general.  He loves to be in the dance studio with all the older girls, and he loves the music.  He has started "dancing" when he hears music, and it is so cute.  In the past couple of weeks, we have been to the zoo, trunk or treat, and the pumpkin patch.  It takes him a while to warm up to things like that.  He always looks really confused for a while, then gets into it.  He is wearing a 12 month in most things - 18 month in some things.  He LOVES the little boy in the mirror and can amuse himself for a long time "talking" to him.  He will NOT say mama.  He jabbers a lot and says "dada" ALL THE TIME!  It's getting rather annoying!  He has the sweetest smile, and his daddy and I will do just about anything to see it!
