10 Months

Could it be? Only 2 months until the one year mark. We have begun planning the big event, and already it seems daunting. Mostly because of the unwanted advice I get from people. "Make it about you", "That food will take too long", "That's too many people", "That's not enough people". All I want is to throw a low key get together to celebrate the fantastic being that is Gideon, and all I get is nay say, nay say, nay say.

I CAN DO IT WITHOUT YOUR INPUT!!!!!!!!!!

That said, we are having a robot theme and welcome any ideas on decorations, etc. So long as they are positive! (Insert happy, winking smile here.)

Gideon's growth has come to a bit of a plateau. He weighs just about the same and is about the same height as he was two months ago. He is now 50% in height, 10% in weight, and 75% in head circumference. 75%!!!!!!! Holy God he has a HUGE head. Except it doesn't really look it. If that's what it's been this whole time though, God bless my vagina! Apparently it's been through the ringer, even more than I thought.

I think I could probably watch him all day long. He is so busy with his toys and crawling around. I think he has become content with crawling so he has no interest in walking on his own. He can stand on his own well, and takes steps while holding our hands, but then gets down and books it via hand and knees wherever he wants to go.

His favorite things are crawling, and waving. He just learned to clap, so I think that will quickly rise to the top of the list.

Who knows what's next?
