I just couldn't decide which of these pictures I liked better . . . so, I posted them both!

And, a smile for the road . . .

Peter is 10 months old today . . . here is what I have learned about 10 month olds . . . they are non-compliant little stinkers . . . . I don't know what the problem was this morning. I got him all "cuted" up in his snazzy summer-wear, talked him through the photo plans I had, positioned him nicely in a comfy chair . . . and this is what I get . . . seriously?!?! STINKER!
In truth . . . Peter is an absolute joy to be with. He is happy, smiley, active and loving. He really loves the activity table, his alligator xylophone, Travis (his bedtime bunny) and anything he can chew on (still no teeth though). He is pulling up, prefers to stand (which he can do while holding on to something with one hand) and is just now becoming quite the chatty little man. He has no interest in crawling (which may change, but as he can sit in the position and does crawl from time to time I think he may just move straight to walking . . . we shall see). He is just beginning to "cruise" as long as he knows Mommy is right behind him.
I don't know how much he weighs (somewhere around 16 or 17 pounds I would guess), nor do I know how tall he is (roughly 28-29" I think). Here's what I know . . . he's happy, he's healthy, he's tall and skinny (I mean, come on, have you met his Daddy?!?)
So, here's the best picture Peter would allow today . . . oh, and PS . . . his head is big, but not as big as that first picture makes it look (can you say Megamind?)

I'm jumping, jumping, jumping up and down
With my tiny toes my feet can touch the ground

I can jump and I can spin

What a happy mood I'm in

When I'm jumping, jumping, jumping up and down!

Peter is loving these early "summer" days . . . the sun shines in his room which makes for a bright play space, but not the best nap space in the world . . . oh well, we have a whole system in place to darken the room for nice, long naps :)
"Oh my, is that a block tower you have constructed, Mommy?"

"I must destroy it . . . .BOOOM!"

Perfectly Peter
I have a feeling this summer is going to be MUCH more enjoyable than last summer

This table is awesome . . . Peter will literally climb over anything to get to it

Spinning Round . . .

This music is serious stuff . . . must perfect technique!

Peter and Daddy . . . ready to head to Steak & Shake for breakfast . . . he had silver dollar pancakes . . . can't get enough of 'em!

Peter enjoying his first windmill cookie . . . they're better with hot tea, you know . . .
And we spent all that money on baby toys . . .

Thank you for coming to visit this weekend, Auntie B . . . we are all happy that the distance between us is now shorter so we can sneak in more frequent visits . . .

Yummm . . . this block is tasty . . .
Too bad it left a lasting impression on my cheek . . .

I couldn't decide whether to title this "I hidin'" or "Seriously Mommy, STOP taking my picture"
