'Baby' B, 10 months!

This is the blog post where I realize your first birthday is now less than two months away.

Holy moly.

Back to the business at hand:
You became a master crawler this month, B. Right after you turned 9 months you started to 'inchworm' crawl and about one week after that you picked up the hands and knees method and you've gotten very fast since then. You love to explore the house now... and I love to watch you crawl around with the giant grin on your face and listen to your little hands smack down as you go.

I adore spending time with you (which is very convenient since you are still are a SUPER BIG (HUGE) mama's boy).
Bentley, your personality is so much fun. You have the cheesiest grin or the biggest smirk... depending on the situation. 
You will literally follow Jack anywhere {which makes me ever so slightly nervous for the future}...
You started pulling yourself up this month... and are obviously very proud of that, as evidenced in the picture below:
(yes, we lowered his mattress since this picture was taken)

You fell in love with our backyard...

 That's right, eyes on the prize, Bentley.

Here you are, just a swingin'.

And here you are with your adorable snot bubble. 
{And only you, my man, can make me describe a snot bubble as 'adorable'}
 This photo is extra large for extra snot bubble viewing pleasure.

You are now officially hooked on 'chewy'. As a tribute to your cousin, Will, you like to fall asleep sucking on a blanket- just like he always did!

You take after me in so many ways. Ahem.

A rare shot of 'so happy together'.

Now that's some brotherly love right there, people.

Bentley and Grandpa. I don't care who you are, this is cute.

 Whatever is in your hands is going in your mouth in...3,2,1.
 Truth be told, I'm getting a little tired of fishing random objects out of your mouth... just sayin'.

 Family go-kart ride!
 {safety much?}

This is a morning smile... see the puffy face?

Dude loves him some bananny's (as Jack calls them).

Bentley's 9 months stats:
16.8 lbs (3rd percentile)
28" long (25th percentile)

You are still my tiny little man. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. Although at the rate you shovel food in your face, it just might. B, you give The. Best. Hugs. EVER. Period. I could not love that more. I've never met a baby that hugs so much! Your little arms go around my neck and squeeze and squeeze when your happy to see me... it's so cute I can't take it!

Happy 10 months, Bentley Charles.  I love you little munchkin.
