10 Months

Adam's10th month was another fun one. It went by in a blur. His other three front teeth came in rapidly, nearly all at the same time. So now he has his two top center and his two bottom center teeth. He is extremely opinionated, and at times gets frustrated by his own physical limitations. Generally a short little bout of fussing and then he is able to deal with the situation well. His hair is really starting to come in, with a significantly longer piece in the back. We call it his rat tail. It curls up, and isn't noticeable most of the time, but when it is noticeable it's pretty funny.
In September we went on a family vacation (I mean the whole family) to Tybee Island, Georgia. Adam LOVED the beach.

He did headstands on the beach

This one is actually the two of them in Grammy and Poppy's bed one morning getting books read to them by Poppy.

Ada and Tay took a bath together every night. This is just a quick kiss.

The baby pool had a waterfall that the kids loved

He finally has enough hair to have a little baby mohawk.

Adam really started walking while we were in Georgia. He had such an audience the whole time that he was soon applauding at himself after he did a long stretch of steps. He walked in the condo, on the beach, anywhere, everywhere.

Adam loved the beach. He loved the water. He loved digging in the sand, eating the sand. He had a blast.

Taylor loved the water too.

Excited, waiting for another wave to come in.

Adam's first time on the beach.

We would generally spend the afternoons on the beach and then take a long swim in the pool into the evening. The sun would be going down and the moon would be coming up. He became obsessed with moon (or moo as he says, pointing at it with his little pudgy fingers). Now he loves looking for the moon at night, reading Goodnight Moon, and pointing to it in all of the pictures. He doesn't quite get it though. Sometimes he gets a little overzealous, pointing at round lights on the ceiling and calling them "moo" as well.

He loves my Dad so much and laughs hysterically at him at even the simplest gesture. On our trip he started calling Poppy "pop." As adorable as this is, he literally points his finger at me and calls me "that." Not really fair, as far as I'm concerned, so we have started working on "mama" with some success. However, now he calls Jason mama sometimes too. We're still a little mixed up.
Thanks to Pat the Bunny he waves bye bye to all of his books.
Adam has also decided that he is done with baby food. Big people food only please. Thank goodness for those four teeth! (that is a joke by the way. he clearly doesn't use those teeth!)

Sounds horrible, I know, but we love setting him up to tell him no because when he is told no he imitates us. He shakes his head back and forth (sometimes so hard that he nearly loses his balance) and says "no, no, no." We just can't get enough of it!
