10 months

• Your eyes get complimented on all the time now.  I never expected that but I certainly see why!  With Bennett it was expected, the first thing people would say about him was to comment on his light blue eyes.  With your eyes being brown, I didn't think much about them but as you've grown they have become quite the little item of their own!  You have long dark eyelashes and have this way of staring up at people from under those lashes and you've become quite the dark eyed beauty because of it.
• You have figured out how to pull yourself up on things.  First and foremost, the Lego table.  We're constantly trying to push legos out of your reach, or squish your cheeks to pop legos out of your mouth.
• You love all animals, both real and in books or toys
• You will hold your arms out now sometimes when you want someone to pick you up.  Sometimes you just flap your arms instead but we know what it menas.
• If you're holding something you'll hold your arm out to us to "show" us and are very pleased if we smile and say something like, "oh look at what you have! how nice!"
• You've discovered the puppy food.  We were moving it to a new location every few days until you inevitably found the new location, but then I discovered I could put it behind the wedge couch with your carseat blocking the path.  The pups can still squeeze through just fine, but you haven't figured it out yet.  It's only a matter of time though before you figure out how to either push it out of your way, or that you get there via climbing into the puppy's bed.
