10 Months Old, woo-hoo!

10 months ago this morning...yeah, yeah--you know the story so I'll cut to the chase, here's Finley at 10 months. I think he officially looks like a little boy and not a baby...sniff, sniff.
Finley's been keeping himself (and us) quite busy these past few weeks. He's a crawling machine and attempts to go up stairs whenever he comes across them (though that's not all too often). He can pull up on just about anything and "cruises" across our coffee table, entertainment center, and couch with ease. He's taken some good tumbles and gotten a few minor bruises, but he seems to be pretty resilient and determined. His current favorite activity is pulling himself up on one of us while we're sitting on the floor and then letting go so that he's standing on his own. We think 25 or 30 seconds is his record. I'm not sure whether he likes standing or falling onto us better, but it's fun all around. Here's what he looks like as he's about to do his favorite trick.
Now here's the trick on video. Usually he can stand for longer, but I think he anticipates the falling part with such joy that he wants to just do that. Make sure your volume is on because there are some adorable baby giggles!
I took this next video before dinner tonight and I think it's quite indicative of his skill set at 10 months: crawling, pulling up, exploring, laughing, babbling, smiling, and...maybe some things that aren't quite as impressive (but hysterical) like a foot fetish :)
Happy Double-Digit Birthday, Finley! We love you!
