Travis, the 10-Month-Old


Travis is such a clown! He is always making the funniest faces, and he crawls around the house 90% of the time with his head on the floor, like he's a little bulldozer. He also loves to wrestle with Westley, probably Westley more than Caleb because Caleb gets way too rough. But they mostly wrestle with a blanket as a prop--they roll around with the blanket and play peek-a-boo, during the game. Peek-a-boo is Travis' favorite game, and he gets really excited, kicking out his legs and pumping his arms every time we play. The usual way that we play involves him covering his face (and only his face) with something...a blanket, towel, or toy...and then I say, "Where's Travis?" and he laughs and laughs and kicks his legs and pumps his arms. Then he reveals his face with a huge grin, laughing, and I say, "Peek-a-boo!" which just makes him laugh all the harder. It's so cute!

Travis has been waking up lately with his pajamas all over the place. One morning, he woke up with one leg in and one leg out of his pants, shirt intact. Another morning (so pictured), he woke up with his pants completely off and on the floor and his shirt pulled halfway off. Sometimes he's only in a diaper. Apparently, we are often too slow in getting him in the morning and he gets bored.

He is just starting to take steps here and there, but mostly he still crawls. He's pretty good at walking behind a walker or with someone, but he just won't let go.

Travis really is a cutie!
