10-Months Old

At 10-months, Mason's...
...had his eyes checked at the Optometrist's office. I'm legally blind without corrective lenses, so I'm concerned about his eyesight as he gets older and was curious as to whether they could predict if he'd need corrective lenses in the future. Mason's eyesight is perfect now; HOWEVER, at his age he should be slightly farsighted (like a +2). It appears likely that he'll be slightly nearsighted as he ages. *sigh* At least we know ahead of time.

...wants down so he can move around all the time. I'm not really sure how our next flight is going to be since he never wants to sit still anymore. I can barely take a picture of him now at our house.
...starting to have horrible sleeping habits again. As we're still weaning {we're just about there!}, he's started the nasty routine of waking up around 1:30/2am and then I've let him fall asleep with me because I've been too tired to go through the 15-20 minute back-to-sleep process in the middle of the night. Here he is one night when I was just being ornery and flashing the camera phone in his eyes. He actually thought it was funny...you can see his little smirk...what a booger!
...climbing on everything. He is quite the destructive little guy. One day last week he pulled down an accent table (and contents), a fabric bolt, the kitchen trashcan, a lamp, and this bouncy seat.
...wanting to feed himself, but not quite there dexterity-wise. He makes the biggest messes. And while he'll take a sippy cup for a little while, he still prefers the bottle.
...quite the flirt! Mason loves to be the center of attention, and he enjoys being around people who will smile with him. He's starting to wave more {random times} and when he hears excitement in someone's voice, he'll clap for them.
...not walking. He stands well and he's taken steps a few more times, but just doesn't seem interested in working on walking proficiently. With his adventurous destructions, I'm not going to complain that it's not figured out yet. In fact, I may just push him down whenever he tries to take steps {ONLY KIDDING!}.
