10 months!
Our little Hugo-bugo is 10 months old!

It's been a bit of a rough month, to be honest. It seems like he's been out of sorts more than the usual amount, but it's hard to separate whether that's teething issues, or feeding issues (the child seems ambivalent towards solid food), or the fact that he's been sick a few times in the past month. I always find it a bit annoying when parents say "he's TEETHING" as if that explains everything, because aren't they pretty much teething for two years straight? But...he's teething.
I'm also trying not to get angsty over the fact that he isn't crawling yet, or even really trying to crawl yet. He's just happy sitting and watching his brother and sister run around like Crazy People, like he really couldn't care less if he ever moves or not. I tried the thing the doctor suggested at his last checkup where you put them on their belly and put a toy just out of reach to motivate them to crawl, but he just gets really pissed off. And...I don't want to come off as overly critical here, but his pincer grasp could use some work, so we are just now to the point where he can pick up a Cheerio. I keep comparing him to my other kids ("wasn't Clementine doing that at eight months?"). For some reason it seemed easier with them. Not exactly sure why.

On the plus side, Hugo has such a sweet little personality. He plays peekaboo with his blanket, and "so big" and he can clap, and he's got this mischievous little grin that just kills me. I probably just need to chill the heck out a little bit over his motor skills, because if he ever does start to move it's going to be Trouble.

Also new this month: his first haircut!! It was seriously starting to resemble a bad combover on the top of his head. I'm not sure why I waited this long, but now it's so cute!! He was a total champ for the haircut too; he was so mesmerized by the little kiddy salon we took him to that he sat quietly the whole five minutes it took to cut his hair. It was pretty amazing.
