Leo is Ten Months Old!

Leo is ten months old and walking like crazy! He has gotten really sturdy and confident this past week. Of course, the addition of the crawling and hugging Isabel underfoot has proven to be a challenge, but he will overcome! His favorite thing is to do laps around our house. Over the past month, we have watched him go from: staggering between two people, to staggering from a piece of furniture to one of us, to staggering between two pieces of furniture, to finally walking around the house, complete with turns and steadying himself. It's amazing, but he still can't get himself up to standing, so we are still largely in control of his mobility. However, we are not in control of how much he squawks until we help him stand up!

Leo also has two bottom teeth! I tried to get a photo of them, but he likes to close his mouth and drool madly instead. Lucky for us, the teeth emerged with little complaint from Leo.

Leo also started sleeping through the night. He couldn't have better timing as I start work next week!

The only way I could get Leo to sit still for his photo shoot was to give him two cymbals - he loves to clang them together and make music! He also loves to dance, but Isabel is truly the queen of the dance floor, with enviable moves.

Introducing Tara and Isabel!

Today Leo started with his nanny Tara! She is so warm and friendly he started the day by walking up to her and giving her a hug and a snuggle! Isabel is the other baby in our share care. She is a month older so she has a lot to teach Leo.

Mom's group in the park

Even though it's called a mom's group, there were just as many dads there! It is definitely getting harder to get them all to sit still in one place in order to get a photo. So far Leo and Takeo (in the Superman shirt) are the walkers.



Walking for real!

Last weekday play date with Mr T

Tristan turned 1 on July 26! His mom Emma and I work at the same school and we have both been in maternity leave for the year. It's back to reality for us both on August 20th!

New sweater

I love Leo's look of concentration here as he starts to walk around the playground.
