I unfortunatley had to work as Stryker turned 10 months old. But, my hubby was gracious enough to bring Stryker for our Christmas lunch at work. Thank you Logan. Stryker loved the attention & thought everyone was having a party for him! What a ham! He loved eating some of the food, especially some of the dessert. Well, little man, you're 2 months away from your first birthday. Oh how time flies. Here are some new things you're doing now:

1. loves playing chase & rough-housing with daddy

2. very ticklish (especially on the back of your thighs, back of your neck, & feet)

3. waves & says "bye bye"

4. lets go with one hand to in order to lower himself to the ground or to reach for a toy/person

5. reach for you when wants to be picked up

6. cruises around tables/surfaces

7. stands independently for about 10 seconds

8. cries when his diaper/clothes are changed

9. cries when taken out of the bathtub

10. likes to feed himself (he'll even pull food out of his mouth if you put it in so he can do it himself)

11. bangs on his tray to let us know he wants more

12. will shake his toy when you say "shake"

13. will clap when you say "clap"

14. will grab onto the steering wheel correctly & change gears (pretend to) on occasion

15. loves to be upside down

16. outside is his favorite place (soothes him during any fussy time)
