It has taken a long time for you to have a predictable schedule. Maybe that's true with all babies; I don't know. At ten months (ten months already!), you take a couple of naps a day, eat your three meals, and play in between. All of these things happen at about the same time every day.
Unless I make plans.
I always say there's no point in making plans. Your baby knows your plans, and he thinks they're stupid. He's got better plans.
I never know for sure what your days will be like, but if I make plans that take into consideration the normal time you do things (like wake up in the morning or take a nap), you will change your daily schedule, almost without fail. Instead of napping for an hour, you'll nap for two. Instead of waking up at 6:30, you'll wake up at 7:30. Classic.
It's not as though I discuss all plans with you ahead of time, but you still know. Maybe you're psychic.

Isn't that funny
Dear Jack,
These days, you are so funny. It's like we're watching more and more of your personality emerge every day. I've always thought it was amazing that one of the early things a baby develops is a sense of humour. How great is that?Well, sense of humour you've got. Even at nine months, you know when you're being funny (and have for some time) and you love to make people laugh. Here are some of your favourites these days:
Running man: if we hold you up and away from our bodies, you kick your little legs like you're running. You've also just added shaking your head back and forth while you run. You laugh the whole time. You've also started doing it anytime you want to show you're excited to see someone.
Mmmmmmmmmm: you love food. All food. But when something is especially good (or when we ask you if something is good), you say "mmmmmmmm" with your voice bouncing like a little goat. Everyone always laughs when they hear it. This makes you do it more.
Blowing raspberries: if anyone makes a sound even sort of like a raspberry, you make one too. Except yours are really spit-y.
Gasping: these days, you like to be the centre of attention (at least when you're with people you know). When you notice people are paying attention to something that isn't you, you make a sound sort of like a gasp and laugh combined. If people look at you (or better, laugh) you do it again and again.
I could add more and more to the list; there are new ones every day. You can be frustrating at times, but man, are you funny.
