Lauren Faith: Colson is 10 months old!

double digits...my baby is 10 months old today! I can't believe it. This year is flying by and I am loving (almost) every minute of it!

I went back to look at Lauren's entry at 10 months so see how alike or different my babies are at this age. It was so interesting I wanted to share. Below is Lauren's top 10 at 10 months in italics along with commentary for Colson in capitals:

1. BATHTIME!! She cannot get enough of the water
COLSON LOVES BATHTIME ALSO! HE LOVES TO SPLASH AND PLAY AND REALLY LOOKS FORWARD TO BATHTIME EVERY NIGHT.
2. Beans – this child will eat any kind of bean. She loves beans and wants them for every meal…
COLSON LOVES BEANS ALSO, BUT HIS FAVORITE FOODS ARE AVOCADO, CHICKEN AND MACARONI!

3. Mickey Mouse anything – not just the TV show- books, dolls, clothes… it is insane.

COLSON HAS NO IDEA WHO MICKEY MOUSE IS AND RARELY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE TELEVISION. HE WILL LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN THE "GO DIEGO GO!" SONG COMES ON AND FOR A FEW RANDOM SECONDS DURING BABY EINSTEIN, BUT HE HAS NEVER "WATCHED TV" AND DEFINITELY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANY CHARACTER. COLSON HAS A FEW FAVORITE TOYS THOUGH- HE LOVES HIS COZY COUPE AND CAN SPEND HOURS IN IT WITH DAD. HE ALSO LIKES HIS MOBILE IN HIS CRIB AND THE MUSICAL DRUM.

4. Little Gym classes- she LOVES THEM!

COLSON HASN'T TAKEN A LITTLE GYM CLASS, BUT GIVEN HIS ACTIVITY AND ENTHUSIASM AT THE SCIENCE MUSEUM'S GYMNASTICS EXHIBIT I WOULD GUESS HE WOULD LOVE THEM TOO. HE IS JUST AS ACTIVE, FEARLESS AND CRAZY AS LAUREN WAS AT THIS AGE!

5. “Cleaning” wiping anything off with washcloths, baby wipes…

COLSON HASN'T "CLEANED" MUCH FOR ME, SO IT IS HARD TO COMMENT ON THIS, BUT HE DOES LOVE TO BANG!! JASON CALLS HIM BAM BAM.

6. Having her teeth brushed- she smiles so big and opens her mouth for me when I get the toothbrush out. It is adorable.

YEAH, COLSON HATES HAVING ANYTHING IN HIS MOUTH HE CAN'T EAT...HE HATES BRUSHING HIS TEETH (ALTHOUGH I AM BAD ABOUT REMEMBERING SINCE HE HAS HALF THE TEETH LAUREN HAD AT THIS AGE) AND HE HATES ME RETRIEVING PAPER AND OTHER ITEMS HE TENDS TO PUT IN HIS MOUTH.

7. "Talking” to the appliances while they run especially the dishwasher, washer and dryer

COLSON ISN'T TOO VOCAL WITH THE APPLIANCES, BUT HE LOVES TO WATCH THEM AND BANG ON THEM...HMMM I AM SEEING A PATTERN HERE!

8. Being thrown up in the air by dad- she squeals and laughs so hard- so cute!

JASON DOESN'T DO THIS TOO MUCH WITH COLSON- PARTLY BECAUSE COLSON IS A LOT BIGGER THAN LAUREN WAS AT THIS AGE AND PARTLY BECAUSE HE STILL DOES IT A LOT WITH LAUREN!

9. Riding on her car and pushing her doll stroller around the house

COLSON LOVES THE COZY COUPE BUT DOESN'T PLAY ON THE RIDE ON TOYS MUCH. HE PREFERS TO PUSH THE SCHOOL BUS TOY AND THE LITTLE CAR LAUREN RODE.

10. Playing with her musical table and dancing

COLSON DOES LOVE THE MUSIC TABLE, BUT DOESN'T DANCE AS MUCH AS LAUREN DID - MAYBE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE MICKEY MOUSE TO SHOW HIM HOW... ?

There are obviously some similar things that both Lauren and Colson loved at this age- along with some big differences also!

Colson was being so silly for these pictures tonight. As usual, he would not hold still!
