Birthday around the corner?

10 months have flown!! We are already planning for the big guy's first birthday!  And with this month came many more new developments- it's so amazing how he can learn so many new things each and every month!



He has become quite the little eater!  In just 1 week he went from eating only baby food, to practically eating all table food!  We started some finger foods a few weeks ago, and we were waiting for him to get a tooth or two before we went to anything more.  He was loving shredded cheese and pasta.  This week he began eating all the table foods served at his school! 
                            
Along with the teeth comment, he has had 2 finally come through in the last 2 weeks!  He now has 2 tiny teeth in front on the bottom!  The first one I felt on October 3, and could see two on October 10.  Although his teachers say he chews better than the other kids who have a full mouth of teeth!  I tried to get a picture of his teeth, but Brooks would cooperate.

Unfortunately, Brooks has had a difficult month with staying healthy.  He has had 3 ear infections and been on antibiotics for far longer than I would ever want.  We go back to the doctor next week, and if he still has an ear infection they will refer us to an ENT.  Say some prayers that he is all healthy!

Lastly, this little man is letting go to walk by himself now.  His cruising has become really great, and if he was confident enough it would be all we could do to keep him from running!  It's only a matter of time before he is full on walking... we'll see if he is before my next post :)
