Ryan just turned 10 months old today, so I got around to starting the 10th month gallery. I’ll put the rest of them up in a few days.
The last month has been one of leaps and bounds in Ryan’s development. He quickly mastered crawling, then advanced to pulling himself into the standing position (supported), then to letting go of whatever he’s holding on to and standing freely (now up to about 10 seconds at a time), then to moving along the front of the couch while holding on to it. He’s now saying “ma ma ma ma ma ma” and “da da da da da da” and while we’re not certain that he’s talking about Mommy and Daddy, I believe he is.
He’s getting very strong. Earlier today, he was holding on to the back of the couch and I went to pick him up. His grip was so strong that it made me pause so as not to pull on his arms. He gets to be more and more fun every day!
