10 months old

We have entered double digits!!! I cannot believe time is flying by so fast!!

Rocco's unbelievable weight gain and growth have finally leveled off. He is very active now and I think all of this moving around is finally burning off all of the calories he has been consuming!!!

Speaking of eating, well actually drinking, Rocco has finally decided that he will take a bottle. Actually 2 8 oz. bottles from his daycare teachers only. It only took him 10 months. Can you see the stubborness that I have to deal with???

His good eating has taken a slight detour. He no longer is really interested with the jars of baby food. He is wanting real food BUT he is not really open to trying new things. This is what he will eat....Cheerios, Cheerios, Cheerios with a small helping of Cheeze Its (guess from who? Poppy), yogurt, pancakes and noodles alfredo. What a diet!!!! We try everyday to get him to eat somethings a little more nutritional but so far, not interested. But we will keep trying.....

Otherwise, he is pulling up and standing without holding on to anything for about 5 seconds, but he has not taken any unassisted steps.

He said Da-Da weeks ago, but really doesn't say it with any regularity.

He and Jillian have really started to interact and play together. More accurately, Jillian tells him what to do and will drag him around until he does it. But it is still really fun to watch and see the potential of what they will be.

At 10 months, the photo shoot was realllllllly hard. He was like the Lord....everywhere.

Here he is standing!!

I tried to give him some cheese but that backfired as he spread it all over the floor.

Finally, I love this shot. There is something about it that is all boy. I can see the little boy that he will become and it is so darn sweet and adorable and stinkerish at the same time!!
