I just love this picture for some reason!

Those eyes...sigh
Sweet Baby Boy
Trying to steal big brothers snacks!
He gave up on Mommy trying to get a picture...these super heroes are over it!
Big Boy
Is he not the sweetest?!
Snuggling with Daddy :) This one melts my heart!
Clayton's face says it all...he's at it again Mommy!
Beautiful profile
What Mommy? This is his favorite thing to do...mess up his big brother's train tracks :)
This face...hilarious!
Hollis is growing and learning everyday! He is literally the sweetest, most snugly baby and of course an absolute joy. I cannot believe he is already 10 months old...it is so repetitive, but I can't help but say...where does the time go???!!!
Here are a few of the many, many new things he has learned and/or done over the past month...
*He is now very good at eating cheerios and real bananas and really anything else he can get his hands on...even if it isn't edible! We have only given him cheerios, bananas, and a bite of ice cream here or there, but he is constantly pulling up on Clayton's table and trying to sneak his food, or any crumb he can find on the floor. Shoes are a favorite to chew on as well. We have to watch him every second because he puts everything in his mouth
*Hollis is definitely our eater. He now eats two containers of baby food at lunch and dinner. I have only found one food that he hasn't liked...peaches! Of all things he doesn't like peaches?! I have tried more than once, but I know he doesn't like them because it takes him forever to eat them and by the time the container is halfway gone he is fussing because he doesn't want anymore.
*He still loves peek a boo, but his newest favorite game is "The drop game"...you know the one where they drop something, you pick it up, and then they immediately throw it down again! He especially loves to do this in the bathtub.
*Loves Mickey Mouse...if Mickey comes on the TV he is instantly glued to it. The other day he had crawled over to the TV and pulled up and was trying to catch Mickey's tail that was swinging back and forth on the screen...soooo cute!
*Still loves that thumb of his...if you give him anything close to his "lovey" he pulls it up to his face and sticks that thumb is. It is the sweetest, cutest thing!!!
*Adores his big brother and thinks everything he does is funny...until he takes something away from him, then the tears pour.
*He is a very tender hearted little soul...he easily gets his "feelings" hurt and boy can he pucker that lower lip. Such a sweetie
*He calls me "Ma", so now at night when he wakes up he calls, "Ma...Ma" He also makes many other sounds and syllables..."uh" is another favorite right now.
*He now recognizes names with faces. If I say, "Hollis where is Daddy?" He will look around the room, spot him and smile. Same with Clayton and Mommy.
*Does not like to be separated from Mommy AT ALL!
*Cruising the furniture like crazy and now even lets go and grabs on to something else...transfers himself from one piece of furniture to another if close enough.
*Can stand all by himself for short periods of time, but then lowers himself down and laughs...he thinks this is a pretty fun game too!
*LOVES bath time and will stay in there forever. He splashes and splashes and crawls around. He even crawls over to the water coming out if the tub is still filling and will play in the water coming out. He is not scared of water at all and doesn't mind it being poured over his head or splashing in his face!
*Loves fountains...he is completely mesmerized by them!
*Loves Kindermusik and shaking the maracas is his favorite part :)
*Still very attached to his blue elephant "lovey"
*Loves stroller rides!
*Has figured out how to drink through a straw
*He is such a snugly baby...he likes to hold my hand and feel my face when he is nursing and when I rock him he likes to play with my hair with the hand that he doesn't suck his thumb.
*Likes to put things in and out...like putting things inside a bowl and then taking them back out
*Loves to pull up to the train table and mess up Clayton's train tracks :)
*Loves to swing
*His laugh is absolutely contagious...when he laughs it just fills the room!
We love our little "Hollis Man" and look forward to watching every new little thing he does and watching his personality come out. Pure joy!
