At this point it feels like the race is on to one year. Two big changes mark Cole's entry into 10 month old life.
The first change is that he's now got 8 teeth. 4 up top and 4 on the bottom. It seemed as though all these teeth just popped their way out all at once. Cole handled the teething well, the only real problem he had with it was an excess of drool we were forced to deal with.
Then obviously with those teeth, means he can eat more. I say almost nightly that this boy is a machine. Just a food eating machine. If he sees once of us eating, he wants some. He of course also gets his standard meals that he devours, but he just puts it away. Constantly. This is of course all a good thing, I mean he really seems to be self-weening himself off of his mid-day bottle. Which is the goal. He's pretty much eating all the things that we eat, that aren't on his no-no list (shellfish, peanuts, etc.). Whats amusing here as well is that he likes to put things in his mouth himself. Abbi would let you "feed her" where Cole definitely wants to do it himself. If you put it in his mouth, he'll often take it out and then put it back in.
He's still got his all-star personality. Smiling and laughing a good bit. Another development that is continuing is his interactions with Abbi. They are playing "together" a bit more. The other night they were actually playing together. They were playing peek-a-boo on opposite sides of the side table. It very cute to watch.
One thing I've found interesting with Cole in contrast to Abbi is that the things I used to do with her he doesn't find as interesting. For example tossing him into the air. He hates it. Abbi loved it. So I've had to work hard to discover new things to do with Cole to play with and interact with him. While its fun, its also hard because I kinda figure my set of kid tricks worked on all "kid". Clearly they don't.
