I think that sums up the highlights.\u00a0 He is really growing fast and is just 2 months away from his first birthday, which means I need to start planning NOW!\u00a0 I think I already have a few ideas, so I know we will be able to pull together a nice celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some recent photos from his 8, 9 and 10 month &#8220;photo shoot&#8221;. In some of the 9 month photos, you can see the first tooth that emerged.\u00a0 The photo with Laurel and Elliott was taken at Bitty Baby&#8217;s (Laurel&#8217;s doll) Birthday party
