See! I can stand up! If you put something in my hands for me to hold onto, so I won't just crawl away.

Yesterday I turned 10 months old. Soon I will be one, can you believe it? I'm getting really good at walking when people hold onto my hands. I wonder when my first steps will be... I love crawling and can get around really fast. Anytime someone tries to get me to stand without holding on, I drop right down and crawl. Why would I want to just stand there? I'd rather be on the go!

Mommy was looking back at William's blog entries and saw that he was as big as me when he was about three months old. That's how different we are! She says that with William she had hoped for a big baby and did she ever get her wish. But she soon realized that she missed out on having a little baby, so with me she again got her wish! I think that's pretty special!

Speaking of William, he's been a great big brother to me lately. He is always looking out for me and making sure I'm safe by putting up the "baby blocks." He doesn't let me get into ANYTHING, even if Mommy says it's okay, like when I get into the paper recycling or play with Belle's dog toys. Mommy says I can't eat it and I'm getting better about not putting everything in my mouth. But William is more strict and won't even let me TOUCH it!

My top teeth are showing through the gums and should come in any time now. They've been really bugging me for the last week and I can't wait until they're through. Plus, I'll be even cuter with top teeth! So watch out!
