Well, we just tried to weigh him and it doesn't look like our Squirmy gained any weight this month. But he seems to be a half an inch longer (28.5 inches), so apparently he's getting skinnier. Thin or not, he's a happy little kid. He's taken to squealing and talking A LOT. Its pretty entertaining.Sam's separation anxiety has grown to an intense level. I've been paged to come get him from his new nursery class both times that we've dropped him off there. Bible study drop-off isn't going much better. He does better with babysitters in his own house, but the transition is still hard. I'm hoping that if we keep trying, he start to believe me when I tell him, "Mommy loves you and ALWAYS comes back for you!"
As far as accomplishments go, I'm adding clapping to the list this month. He slipped in there right on ten-month birthday. Just one clap, but it still counts! And the other day he picked up a toy mirror out of his toy box with both hands. He just stood there for several seconds looking at himself, until he realized he wasn't holding a stable item. He could totally do it if he had a little more confidence!
As we approach the end of nursing, he seems to be growing very fond of it once again. He doesn't drink as much as he used to, but he once again finds it a great comfort. That being said, he does like his food. He has this adorable little giggle when he spots the box of crackers, anticipating the yummy taste in his mouth. When he isn't sick he eats a lot...I have no idea where he puts it all.

What a wee sweetheart!! Don't worry about the separation anxiety too much - you son is right on schedule in ‘nanny terms’ :-) I found that months 8-14 are usually the worst and then children start to internalise that mummy will come back. So keep on trying.
