10 Months! plus a week and a half

Malan is 10 Months!  Wow time has flown by.  Here are the tricks that Malan is up to:
1.  May 31st he started to clap!
2.  He is really starting to use non-verbal communication.  He reaches for things he wants holding his two hands out and clenching his fingers.
3.  His first wave was to Aunt Staci, but we all screamed, so he has been hesitant to do it again.
4. Malan is cruising.  He uses the couch and other furniture to get around.  He still crawls fast too.
5.  He is reaching for anything he can.  He is tall so he can hold on to the kitchen table and grab things off of it.
6.  He falls asleep most nights around 9 in Daddy's lap.
7.  When he falls asleep for naps with Mommy he grabs my clothes, holding on tight.
8.  He smiles and loves to watch people.  He has very little stranger danger reaction.
