First Word at 10 Months!

Little Andrew Thomas turned 10 months on Wednesday and now I have to officially start planning the perfect 1st birthday party because these last two "baby" months are going to fly by I just know it! I seriously feel like I JUST wrote the 9-month stats.

It's been an exciting 10-month birthday week because I believe Mr. Andrew has said his very first word! You're not going to believe this, but my mom and sister heard it too. He said he own name!! He said ANDREW! It was amazing and unreal, but he did repeat it several times after I said it, so I'm counting it. Well, I guess it's the word he hears the most because he is the center of my world right now. Day in and day out, we're together and I can never stop smooching him.

10 Months

• 22 lbs (via the scale at the urgent care)
• First word - "Andrew"
• Does say mama a little bit, but not as much or on cue like "Andrew"
• Clapping
• Almost waving
• Pulling up and grabbing at everything
• Looking more like mommy (so say my friends and even a stranger today)

Also exciting this week, Andrew and I attended our first official playgroup together with some very nice ladies in Gilbert. I found this nice group of Christian moms on meetup.com and everyone was super nice. Andrew had a blast playing with all of the new toys and kids. He is already working on making the girls cry by grabbing their shirts and trying to pull hair. Ugh. Boys are so rough.

Now we're celebrating Valentine's Day this week and I'm glad I have at least one of my favorite guys to celebrate with. Jeff will be home to us in less than 2 weeks!! The countdown really begins. I can't imagine how I will be feeling when I get to re-introduce Jeff to our wonderful angel who is now practically a little boy. Oh my he is going to be surprised and so happy. We get 2 weeks with him and we'll take all we can get.
