Blogging/Stats

Okay, so Cliff and I have given in to technology. I know this is funny coming from someone with the blog URL we have, but I kind of feel like sometimes blogging/email/social networking sites take away the human element and the need for phone conversations. Although on the plus side, this is a wonderful way to let everyone know how we are doing without having to call 50 people, since I don't have that much free time anyway. Also, this lets all you picture hungry people see my bambino, sorry I was so lax in sending out fresh photos. :)

So for stats (bear in mind these are 1 month old) at 9mos Thoreau was 26lbs 8oz and 32 inches tall. He's now 10 mos and we swear that he's heavier and taller, or else he's just better at stretching to reach stuff on the counter! He says Dadada all the time, for everything, but when he wants Cliff he'll actually say Dada. He can also say Momma, AH(the abbreviation of my sister's name) and Bye Bye and will wave for 'bye' and 'hello', he calls dogs 'da' and is trying to say cat although it comes out 'caw'.

His favorite things to eat are organic o's, different squashes, his left thumb, all fruits but especially bananas, and any magazines that you didn't pick up! He's really teaching us to clean out and throw away, right away. I just can't believe his birthday is less than two months away. My baby is growing up (pardon me while I go cry now!). In all seriousness, though, it's great to watch his personality develop more and to see what a beautiful (both in and out) child he is, what a blessing to witness such a miracle!
