barrett: 10 months old


Yes, he does look rather shocked in these photos!  And he's sporting his random red right cheek, that comes and goes and we have no idea what aggravates it.  Teething?  Jalapeños?  Who knows.  Already ten months old, and his first birthday is sneaking up on us, and it seems strange because he doesn't seem almost a year old yet.  


See that helmet?  Good chance he won't have to wear it after his March 18th doctor's appointment!  The orthotics team is excited about his progress, and as they said, we lucked out that he grows so much because it made his head mold faster.  Speaking of bigger - Barrett has moved on from baby food and is full-on into the wide world of solid real food.  So far his favorites are tortillas, pasta, peas, manwich, turkey, bread, mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, and carrots.  He's still on white carbs like an undergrad going through her first breakup, but I assume he likes how easy they are to eat.  Barrett has six teeth in now, and is acting like more are coming in.

He's still not crawling, but lays on his belly and scoots across the floor, while bringing up one leg like he wants to crawl but then changes his mind!  Barrett can pull up on anything, but prefers grabbing onto one of us to yank himself upright.  He's babbling, but still no first word.  He is happy and sweet and smily.


Likes:  Britton and Sadie, his swing on the swing set, being outdoors, bubbles, cruising in his walker

Dislikes:  strong wind, loud noises, strangers
