10 months

Hello 10 months! My babies are growing up!! This past month has been so fun. It seems as if the boys are learning something new everyday. It has been such a joy to watch them grow and learn, especially since I never got to experience many of the things they are doing when Karissa was alive.

Preston is consistently waving 'hi' and 'bye' and will say 'mama' and 'dada' discriminately. He is cruising around everything and is learning how to play with several different shape sorters. He loves when I read to him and has an amazing attention span for a 1o month old. He has also started using a sippy cup and has showed interest in self-feeding with utensils.

Ethan is my little ham! He is able to stand up on his own. He loves to just stand up in the middle of the room without holding on to anything. He even took his first step last Tuesday. He has also learned how to play with shape sorters. He copies a lot of sounds and actions. He has started naming objects, for instance, if I show him a banana, either in a book or the actual object he will say 'nana'!!!

Preston and Ethan also have a new cousin, Riley Geneve, born Sunday, September 4th!! I'm am beyond excited that the boys will have a cousin that is so close in age! There are many fun times ahead!!
