10.5 month update

Vince is now completely off baby food! I can't believe it happened so quickly. He actually now just refuses to eat it. I am not quite sure how much he eats now since he feeds himself finger food, most of it ends up on the floor which in turn ends up in Roxie's mouth! Today we had a play date at our house and I had the moms bring snacks that their baby liked to eat to share with the group. That way we had the opportunity to try things without buying them first and know what the babies will actually eat. Vince ate grapes and cheese, both of which I have offered him before and he wanted nothing to do with them before. He loves Cheerios now. He'll have yogurt as a snack between lunch and dinner and the past few times he has had it, he will make funny noise with his mouth and blow yogurt everywhere!

He is all over the place crawling around and cruising. My stainless steel appliances now have finger prints and hand prints on their lower half! He loves to take the balls from his ball pit and put them in the wine rack in our center island. He did try to get into the wine so I moved those up. He broke one of the oil bottles that was on a shelf next to the wine rack. Today he broke off a piece of a ceramic rooster that I had on another shelf! So far, he has not try to get into any cabinets. Which is great because we have not put any locks on them yet. He has become more content playing with his toys on his own. I was able to vacuum the stairs today while he was in our play room upstairs and he didn't make a peep! He was just happy playing with all of his toys. When Matt and I play with him, he thinks it's hilarious to put the toys in our mouths. Vince is also interested in our Nintendo Wii as you can see in the pictures above.

We are getting ready for his first birthday already! Matt is going to work on the invitations this weekend and I have already ordered the plates and such. Yesterday I hugged him tight and gave him a bunch of kisses and I told him "You'll always be my little baby boy!!"
