Is it possible? Can my little Nolan-bug be 10 months old already? Time is flying by way too fast. He is getting big, and is ON. THE. MOVE! He's still not quite crawling (not that he couldn't if he really wanted to). He keeps threatening to crawl, then just scoots around on his belly, or rolls from place to place. He's quite fast at it too, I might add!
As you will see in the picture below, he doesn't like it when he gets held up or thinks he's stuck somewhere.
... and he's off!
He just got his 3rd tooth. He now has 2 on bottom and one on top.... and chews on everything! Just look at those chompers!
As far as his eating goes... he's doing better, but still has a ways to go. He'll eat almost an entire jar of baby food some days, but other days it's hit and miss. We've decided to hold off on the speech therapist for now and keep working with him on eating from a spoon. When he's really hungry he does the best. I am convinced that a good portion of his issue is his disdain for baby food. Whether it's the texture or the taste, I'm not completely sure. But I do know he doesn't care much for it. He does like his teething cookies, though. (And so do the dogs, I might add, since the floor is where the remnants end up. When they see him in his high-chair, they start hovering because they know, sooner or later, he's gonna throw something on the floor!)

Like Anthony and I have thoroughly discussed... it's not like, if we don't figure this out in the next month, it'll set him back for life. Besides, he seems to be getting along just fine in the nutrition department! ;)
Nolan definitely sleeps like his daddy.... on his tummy with all the blankets kicked off. It cracks me up!
And this would be the little stinker after his nap.....
....notice his diaper is laying in the back of the crib, and his buns are quite bare!
It was a warm day, and Nolan usually sleeps pretty hot, so Anthony decided to put him down with just his shirt and diaper on. I guess we wont be trying that again anytime soon! This was one day I was so glad he's a tummy sleeper! Enough said.
One thing we know for sure... this kid is strong-willed! He hates the word "No", and 'yells' when he doesn't like something. He frequently throws his toys or spits out his pacifier when he gets mad. I think we may have our work cut out for us with this one! The older two are learning to stay out of his face. If you get too close, he'll just reach out and smack you , or bat at whatever you have in your hand. Folding laundry, cooking dinner, or doing anything even moderately productive is next to impossible while holding him. Not that he's trying to be naughty (well, most of the time, anyway), it's just what he does. We call him our little 'bruiser'. He is so much fun, though. He's very jovial and loves to be roughed up. It's hard to just sit and hold him on your lap because he's always on the move and wants to play. When he's sleepy, though, he's quite the little cuddle-bug. It melts my heart! Daddy says we're pathetic when we get all cuddly, but that's okay... they aren't little for very long, right?! All the kids are quite cuddly, and that is perfectly fine with me. I'm up for snuggles anytime!
