Reed can now add pancakes, black bean soup, pulled pork, and my mom's roast with carrots and potatoes to his growing culinary list. That list might sound quite daring for a mom who has a choking phobia, but I assure you that these are mashed and given to him in small portions (and I may or may not still freak out a little).
Reed can stand by himself for a good amount of time now. It's pretty impressive. He's a smart cookie though and whenever we try to get him to "walk" with our help, he just goes limp and waits for us to pick him up. I'm still convinced that he'll be walking before he's a year old...which, if I may remind you, is now less than 2 months away.
Reed has a little bit of an attachment to me. He usually doesn't like it if I'm not in the same room as him and will come crawling/crying to find me wherever I'm at. He then stands up and holds onto my leg until I am able to pick him up. While I would love to carry him around all the time, my back starts to hurt and I can't get anything done. It's sweet and I should savor it while it lasts, but, admittedly, it can sometimes be frustrating. Please don't judge until you have a 10 month old pulling on your leg while you're trying to do your hair in the morning or cook dinner after a long day at work.
What an exciting 10 months it has been. Our little bug just keeps growing and developing in leaps and bounds. It's so amazing to think that just a few months ago Reed couldn't crawl or sit up on his own. It's crazy how fast things change.

I believe that Reed is the definition of cute.
