My Want at this Moment
I would like to be home with my baby right now - playing with him - making him laugh - chasing him around the floor. But I have another 2 hours before I will see him again. I am planning to take him for a walk later, but first - we are going to have to play. The past couple of days have been very busy - between work, errands, the Y, and life. Tonight is a night for Cheeks and me - and I couldn't be more excited.

Changes
Our household got knocked down last week with one (or two) nasty bugs. Cheeks got an upper respiratory infection, followed by a secondary infection. I had a stomach bug, followed by Cheeks' illness. Doc is now at home sick with my stomach bug and a 102 degree fever!
In the midst of all of this, Cheeks' has gained a sense of independence! He now is fully mobile and in complete exploratory mode! He crawls everywhere, and is facinated by electrical outlets (yes, we have all of ours covered, but they still fascinate him). He pulls himself up, lets himself down, pulls himself back up, walks along the coffee table, couch, and his toys. Last night, he walked from me to Doc in no time flat while utilizing the coffee table AND couch for support! I don't think it will be too long before Cheeks is running around!
He no longer stays confined to the living room...that is too boring for him...he now crawls his way into the dining room and kitchen! It is exhausting to say the least! Last night, I took out a big pot, a big wooden spoon, and a couple of magnets. He had a blast putting the magnets in and out of the pot. It was nice to have something simple like that to keep him busy while I prepared dinner.
This is definitely a fun, exciting, and challenging stage - something new for me to get used to!

10 Months Old Today!!!
Wow..two posts in one day - it's a miracle! ;)
Our boy is 10 months old today - this makes me so happy but so sad at the same time. He is growing up so fast!! I am so happy he is a big, healthy, growing 10 month old though. I can't wait to see what the next couple of months bring before his first birthday!!
Happy Birthday Cheeks :)

A New Year
Well our 2011 has started off with a family full of sickies. Cheeks started off with a bad cold - runny/stuffy nose, chesty cough, 101 degree fever. I followed shortly after with a stomach bug, and Doc woke up this morning with Cheeks' illness. And now low and behold, my stomach is feeling slightly better, but I am coming down with Cheeks' illness too! My thought is that we are getting all of our yuckiness out at the beginning of the year :)
Cheeks is lying in his crib now - he only napped for 30 minutes, but as long as he is not crying, I'm leaving him up there with hopes that he will fall asleep again and get more rest - which is what he needs.
In the midst of all of this - our boy keeps that huge grin on his face...I love him so much!
And I'll end on a happier note - HAPPY 10 MONTH BIRTHDAY CHEEKS!!! :)

10 Things I Don't Want to Forget About Cheeks
1. When he gets tired, he holds his ears, or plays with mine/his mama's ears.
2. When he laughs, he gets the hiccups (just like I did when I was young).
3. He loves his cars and trucks.
4. When I come home from work, no matter how cranky he is, I always get a huge smile.
5. At 9 1/2 months old, he LOVES peek-a-boo.
6. I swear he has said the word book on several occasions - but it could just be him babbling.
7. He gets overly excited when he sees grandma in the box. (The laptop).
8. He is not a fan of getting his nails cut or of having his boogies removed.
9. He gets SO excited and proud when he does something new (i.e. pulling himself up to a stand).
10. When his mama puts him to sleep holding him, they fit perfectly together.

Merry Christmas!!
Cheeks has had a fantastic Christmas so far. He is passed out in his crib now after playing with all his new toys. I love that he loves his new books as much as his new toys (and I'm having just as much fun as he is playing with his new toys!)
This is a rough Christmas for Doc - it's her first without her mother - but she said it best when she said it's the saddest yet happiest Christmas for her. Cheeks allows it to be that way. Here are a few pics that brightened our day :)
