10 Months Old!

(Two weeks ago.)
I seriously can't believe the boys' first birthday is on the horizon. This parenting gig is amazing, exhausting, joyful, stressful, fun, frustrating,...
Luckily, the good things on that list far outweigh any negatives, which tend to be few and far between. The boys are so much fun.

Their measurements as of Friday evening:
Reid- 20.8 lbs and 30 inches tall
Aiden- 20.2 lbs and 29 inches tall
They're growing too fast!

(Reid fell asleep in my arms tonight. Normally, the boys are awake/drowsy when we put them down at night. I had forgotten how wonderful it felt to have one of them fall asleep in my arms. I feel very fortunate that I've had the opportunity to experience that.)

10 month photos:
I started with them sitting, since they are now pro sitters.

Then I wanted to have them lie down since that's the usual monthly pose. Reid did not like that move.
Aiden kept smiling away as Eric managed to get Reid settled down.
Eventually he even flashed a few smiles.

Reid:
Disheveled mama. Sigh. One of these days when I request that I'm included in a photo, I'll actually look decent. Oh well.

One of the last baths the boys took in this tub as they clearly outgrew this one. I've moved on to an inflatable tub that I set inside our bath tub.

Are you sure about their individial heights?

Make that "individual"

They are getting so big! One question: what are you going to do when they are too tall to lay that way in the crib? Or will you not be taking monthly pictures at that point? :)

Good question, Janina. I may need to start laying them down in the other direction. They are getting so big. I'm not sure if I'll still take monthly pictures. I'd like to, but maybe I'll need to pose them in a new spot after they're a year old.
