10 Months

Jake turned 10 months old yesterday. We did a terrible job trying to capture a good picture. He's constantly on the move, so it's pretty much impossible to keep him still long enough for a picture. Thank goodness for professional photographers! Anyway, here are a couple of our attempts...

His eyes look weird in this one b/c red eye fixer went kind of crazy....

Where's Jake???
Giving Mama a kiss...
One quick story of Jake's cuteness. I've mentioned before that Jake has a "lovey" called Blamey (pronounced like lamb, with an -ey on the end). As soon as he sees it, he smiles, grabs it, and usually sucks his thumb, then proceeds to calm down in order to go to bed. Well, he has the tendency to have this reaction to any type of blankey. This could be another stuffed animal or even a kitchen towel. He will grab hold with one hand, suck his thumb on the other hand, and pretty much stay still. This morning he was crawling and playing all over the place, then he found this blankey. It was not close to nap time at all, but automatically, he stopped, stuck thumb in mouth, and looked ready for bed. Super cute...
Also, his 9 month check-up was a little late (just last week), so I think these stats are pretty much 10 month:

Length: 29 inches Weight: 20 pounds 7 ounces Head:45.2 cm Basically 50th percentile across the board.
