TJ turned 10 months old today, and to celebrate, he got his first haircut! TJ did awesome -- didn't even cry when she brought out the trimmers for his neck. Mommy held him for the first part and he enjoyed looking at himself in the mirror, then we put him in the chair. Daddy held TJ as the stylist finished up and trimmed his neck and around his ears. He was such a good boy for his first haircut, and of course, he looks adorable! :)

TJ's babbling is becoming more of a way for him to tell us what he wants. Uh - means wants up. We ask him where his balloon is, and he points to it. He also points to his cat and dog. This morning when pointing out Bo he said "cat." Frankie and I both looked at each other like, "Did he just say that?!"

TJ is becoming a little wild man. It's been about a week and a half since he started crawling on his hands and knees, and Mommy and Daddy are getting a crash course in having a "mobile" child! He's become quite fast in the past few days, and Mommy is getting her exercise chasing after him. He's so dang cute when he crawls, too... Mommy can't help but giggle every time he takes off. Buggy Fitness and Storytime are whole different worlds now. I get an extra workout at buggy chasing him around. At the same time, it's so fun to watch him become more independent. Monday, he wasn't clingy at all, and he had a great time following his friend, Asher, and moving around like a "big boy." Today, it was the same story at storytime. :) Last time we were there, I was so proud because he sat still and listened to the stories and songs. Not the case this time around. We spent the entire storytime moving. TJ especially loved the fish tank at the library, and he constantly gravitated towards it.

TJ is transitioning well in his new room at day care, even though you can tell he misses Miss Alissa, he's getting used to his new teachers. Wednesday, he didn't even cry when I dropped him off. Sitting him next to a cute little girl may have had something to do with it -- TJ definitely knows how to flirt. Each day it seems he learns something new, and each day he brings more joy into our lives. We can't believe his first birthday is right around the corner.
