Aidan turned 10 months old Friday. I got distracted by the whole Pan Mass Challenge thing and completed neglected this important piece of news.

At 10 months he is now eating solid food, being weaned off his bottle, and starting to walk with the assistance of mobile toys. He’s actually taken a step or two here and there but he’s so anxious to walk that he tries to go too fast and wipes out. He will happily push a wagon around though.

Meal time is a horror show. He’ll about anything you put in front of him but will usually want what you’re eating instead, even if it’s the same thing (he gets that from mommy). He’s got a fondness for grilled cheese that we’ve just found and he especially loves trying to fit as much food into his mouth at one time as possible. He’s still a little tough on the sippy cup thing. He prefers a bottle but we’re trying to get him off of it. Our hope is that he’s onto solid foods completely by 1 year which will mean no more formula but whole milk instead.

He’s more fun every day. He laughs easily now and likes to play. Peek-a-boo is up there on the favorites but he also likes a good chase. He’s pretty fast on hands and knees so its not always easy to catch him!

There are definitely times I miss the baby but in the end, I wouldn’t trade my little boy for that baby.
