Well, life continues to get busier, so I'm writing two months of Trey's life in one post this time. I hate that I didn't write it down before, because I know I'm going to forget exactly when he hit certain milestones, but I'll do my best.
So, for 10 months:
Trey became less shy. He really began showing the side of his personality that loves to be around people and play with other children.
He does more involved playing than I remember Gia doing at this age. . Instead of mostly side-by-side play with other kids, he loves to be right in the action, playing with the kids.
He gets into a LOT. I don't even bother cleaning up the toys that he can reach until he goes to bed at night because he just pulls it right back out/down.
He loves the fan. He doesn't stare at it for a really long time, but he stares at in intensely for a minute.
He started walking on September 5th! That means I win the bet :)
Sleeping (during his 10th month) has been a real challenge. Still waking up at least once a night and not taking great naps. I'm pretty tired.
He got a small cold, but nothing serious.
He eats food like it was what he was born to do. He takes huge bites, and I panic, but he is a champ and does great with it! He's amazing! He eats everything.
Football season started, so we taught Trey to say, "Go Gamecocks" and put his hands up when we say "Touchdown!"

Trey discovered his shadow! He was fascinated!
Month 11:
Trey's personality is a combination. He is snuggly and sweet, wanting to be cuddled and loving to give kisses. He is also stubborn, doing things multiple times as we tell him "no" and trying to get whatever it is we are not letting him have. He's more vocal, screaming when he doesn't get what he wants (Gia didn't do that, so it's new for us). Especially when it comes to food, he is impatient and tries to scream "more!" We make him wait and ask for it calmly before giving it to him, which he does.
Sleeping has been HARD and AWESOME this month, and at the very tail end of this month Trey had two really terrible nights and has just begun sleeping through the night. So, for the moment, he sleeps 12 hours at night but only 1/2 an hour to an hour during the day. I'll take that!
He walks very well now. He lets go of whatever he's holding on to and can walk across the room. He does a combo of walking and crawling right now.
He had his first virus. His fever went up to 102.6 for a couple days and his throat was sore (I think), but after 3 1/2 days of having a fever, he came out of it and is fine.
He can say: mama, daddy, sister, up, more, go gamecocks (kind of), uh-oh, and touchdown (sort of).
He learned how to click his tongue, wave hello and good-bye, and pull the blanket or hat over his own head to play peek-a-boo.
He loves the music intro to Doc McStuffins! He dances and laughs when it comes on.
He loves to dance and take baths. Baths are just about his favorite thing.
He got his two top teeth this month.
Here are some pictures from month 11:
Aunt Fran and Uncle Paul came to visit us! The kids had a blast!
We went on a trip to New Orleans for a week. Trey got to eat a lot of yummy, bad-for-you food, including beingets.
Grandma and Granddaddy came to NOLA to see us, too, and took the kids swimming. Trey loved the water!
We got to see lots of good friends, also.
He had his first taste of lemon, and it was hilarious.
