The Smith Family: Lately

Lots of things going on since Easter...little Tripp is growing up so quickly. He is 10 months old now, I can't believe it. Every day is so much more fun than the one before. His personality has come out and he is so happy and laid back. He has not started walking yet, but tries to take a step but eases himself back to the ground because he gets a little nervous. He does stand completely independently and can lean over and pick things up and stand back up again. He crawls and climbs all over the place, it's hard to keep up. He says, mama, dada, nana. He claps for more...and yay...and pretty much any time he gets excited for something. And if you cough and he watches you he will fake cough as well. We have introduced a few table foods to him. He loves cucumber and any melon, he nibbled on a waffle the other day. He wasn't so sure about it though. He would prefer his cheddar puffs over anything else.
I am now on my Summer break and have loved every minute of it! He has been to the pool for his first time and had a ball! He loves the water and just likes to people watch. Side note: Aunt Natty, who keeps Tripp during the school year, let us borrow this fantastic "game day type high chair". I highly recommend it. It is simply a fold out high chair and can get wet and is the fabric of a game day chair. It has a little pouch you can zip it into when you are done and even holds the tray for easy carrying!!! He sat it in and had some snacks and loved it as much as he did the water. Here are some recent pics!
