Ten Months

Baby will be 10 months old this week. Lots of new things have happened this past month.
Baby is crawling, but not in the traditional sense. For the past few weeks, he's been doing a sort of inchworm crawl, pulling himself across the floor. I'm not totally convinced that he's going to crawl in the "normal" manner. But he still gets around well and can go from one end of the room to another in the blink of an eye.
We're beginning to notice some stranger anxiety. He no longer goes to anyone indiscriminantly. In fact, we were at the mall several days ago and a strange woman came up and got very close to his face. He completely freaked out and screamed bloody murder. I think she learned her lesson!
While baby once seemed to eat anything and everything we gave him, he is now becoming quite the finicky eater. He is much more interested in playing than eating. He has also realized that he can refuse by closing his mouth and turning his head.
We are really starting to see some beginnings of personality in this cute little guy. I hope he has his daddy's brains and my sense of adventure!
I'll post some pics later.
