10 months old!

Ethan is now a big 10 month old! I feel like this past month he has made a lot of strides in a lot of different areas. A few things to note:
-He is still not crawling but rolls all over the place. Sometimes on the hardwood floor he can kind of push himself backward on his tummy. When he is on his tummy he can also sometimes turn his body a bit to reach for a toy.
-His favorite position is still to lay on his back and kick, kick, kick his legs.
-He sits up very well on his own now. Loves to reach for different toys and try and grab anything that catches his interest.
-He is self feeding and really starting to prefer this way to eat.
-Sleep is still going pretty well, most days. He usually falls asleep by 7ish and will sleep until 6ish. Every now and then he'll wake up way early for 2-3 day span at like 4:30am and wants to nurse and then goes back to sleep.
-Still nursing 4 times per day. Still eating breakfast, lunch and dinner but we've added some snacks like cheerios and yogurt melts too. He loves cheese and we just tried some scrambled egg yolk in the last week which he seems to like too.
-His top teeth are still moving on down. The front two are about half way down and a third has just started to cut through.
-Taking assisted steps, which goes something like - step, step, step - and then add in some kind of kicking, dancing craziness, then step, step, step.
-He love, love loves to stand up. He can pull himself up when holding on to our hands.
-He is definitely starting to try and be more vocal about what he wants. His personality is still fairly laid back and chipper but he is starting to do a little more whining when hungry and seems to be more frustrated when he's on the floor - like he wants to move but can't figure out how to do it yet.
-He is loving his board books right now. We will read through the same book probably 10 times in a row several times a day.
-He loves to giggle and laugh.
-He gets really really excited when he sees dad come home, or mom come home or Auntie and Uncle Russell when they come over to visit.

Happy 10 months precious Ethan!
