leon with finger foods!

This pic was taken on his actual 10 months old day - October 21st.  Wade I were tickling those warm chubby thighs of his.  What a cutie!

He is generally quite a clean eater.  But this particular avocado was uber ripe.  Really though once he got a handle on connecting successfully the food from tray to fingers to mouth - he doesn't miss! : )  I know that messy face and hands will come again and again - but this is a marvel and delightful stage.  I remember when Kent was non stop.  I was so pleased to not have a picky eater.  Kent would delight and devour whatever was placed in his path.  I've noticed that Leon isn't as adventurous as Kent was with trying knew foods.  Leon will be selective with what he picks up to eat.  (at least right now that's the case) 

Leon loves to cuddle with a blanket and play "where's Leon? "Boo!"  with it.

For a good 3 days he crawled around with a small American flag clutched in his fist.  He kept track of it! Maybe it was nice for him because Kent didn't pay attention to it so the coast was clear for Leon to actually be playing something without it being coveted by Kent. It was so cute though how he would finish doing something and before moving off to another room or follow me else where he would snatch the grand old flag and tote it along.
