Clark Update-10 months!

So Clark turned 10 months this past Sunday the 6th. What a fun little boy he is! He is doing very well except this past month has been a bit more rough on him. He had two colds in January with only a week in between without being sick and then this Monday his nose started running a lot and he has another one. Neither of my kids have every had colds that back to back. We have taken him to the doctor twice and they confirmed that they are all minor colds. Maybe I take them too many places? We go to several play groups, gym class, library time, etc. There is a lot going around right now. My doctor has told me that being around other kids will help build up his immune system. On top of that he got an ear infection and it did not clear up with the first round of antibiotics so we just started a different antibiotic yesterday. Poor little guy! (We are probably going to end up having to get him ear tubes.) I'm sick of the winter! It is time for it to get warm. Also Clark has broken through two new teeth this month. Despite these things he has still been sleeping like a champ and is in pretty good spirits. He is a bit more clingy and a little bit more whiny but it has not seemed like he is too unhappy. (Bless my sweet children. They sleep so well and are still happy even when they are sick). Anyway, Clark still continues to make us laugh with his constant dancing. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this but Clark has danced since he has been about 3 or 4 months old. Whenever we start singing or he hears music he will start rocking back and forth. Clark still loves to eat though it does not seem to be the main focus of his life anymore and he is more picky than he used to be. One day we will feed him something and he will devour it and the next day he will not want to eat the same thing. Clark has also hit a lot of milestones over the last couple of months. Here are some of his most recent developments: 1. Crawls all over the place! 2. Can go from a crawling to a sitting position 3. Can pull himself up to a standing position 4. Walks along furniture 5. Loves to walk with us holding his hands 6. Can stand for a few seconds on his own 7. Waves hi 8. Claps 9. Shakes his head no when he does not want something 10. Feeds himself (with his hands and starting to also use a spoon) 11. Signs "all done" and "more" 12. We have heard him say the following words: 1. Ma Ma 2. Da Da 3. Uh oh 4. Hi 5. Bye 6. Up 7. More It is so fun to watch this sweet little boy grow and learn. We are so grateful he is a part of our family. Here are some fun pictures of him over the past month or so. Enjoy!
