Wow, 10 months! Each month passes so fast and I can hardly believe it. Blake is sitting like a champ now - 10 minutes at a stretch without getting tired and he can reach for toys and is even starting to do a bit of sign here and there. I can't always understand it, but I am excited that communication is close. Over the last month, Blake has made huge jumps in development - he is not only bigger and stronger, but his mind seems to really be taking so much in - he can say Momma and Da-da now and even uses them when we are around which is starting to let me know that he does understand what he is saying. He only says Da-da after I use it or if he is actually playing with "Da-da" It has so warmed our hearts that he can say our names and pretty much said them within the same week.
Over all the development is just the overwhelming sense of what a blessing little Blake is - he has a warm heart - that is already evident and he is such a sweet heart. He now plants a kiss on my cheek when I get him up in the morning - that clumsy half open mouthed attempt just warms my heart.
Here are some pictures to show you all his new skills!
He can reach for a toy and pick it up and raise it while he is sitting! I had no idea what a big deal that was, but I am so happy he can do it.
He can drop a toy!
He can reach for toys while on his tummy and can eventually get to them by doing a little rolling pattern. He then rolls gracefully on to his back to either inspect the toy or gloat in his success. I love to watch him work this out.
