Trouble

In the past week this little guy has learned quite a few new things. He has now mastered the stairs, going up them without any problems and is starting to come down them as well with no issues. He is now walking from a chair to the couch or from a cupboard to the table, taking about 5-10 steps each time without falling. Each day he goes a little further and is choosing to stand and walk a little more than he is choosing to crawl. He figured out how to climb out of his high chair....not a good thing!! I have caught him with a banana and knife in his hand because he crawled out in the 2 seconds I was getting something out of the fridge and sat back down, I have caught him with a full container of snacks only to get to the table just in time to watch him dump the entire thing out. He is a little trouble maker. He is definitely all boy and keeps me on my toes constantly. He is busy, busy, busy. In the amount of time that it takes me to load the dishes he can have 3 cupboards empty and be over to "help" me by emptying out everything that I have just put in the dishwasher. (this all happens within about a 5 minute period). I walked into the kitchen the other night and found this:

 hmmm...what is this?!

 Let's see...There is one under my leg...

 Oh, yummy...a cracker...at which point he started choking because he shoved the whole thing in his mouth.
But then you have the moments where he is just sooo cute!!! Like when he sits at the back door and watches the girls play and pounds on the window and yells at them to get their attention.

 And then you are reminded how truly messy boys are and are sooo thankful that you only have 1!!!

Hi mom! Just eating my noodles and rubbing my hands all over my head and the table and the chairs and anything that I can grab!!!! And did I mention that he is only 10 months old...and I am 8 months pregnant....yep, exhausting!!!! Good thing he is sooo cute and loves me tons and tons!!
