Ok so this isn't our normal chair picture, but it's how the boys spent most of the 10 month "birthday"...driving home in the car from Maine. The boys were very good, but don't t let them fool you, they didn't sleep like angels the whole time!! When we got home we did take some traditional chair pics. 
Milestone Updates: Justin-- is cruising ALL over the place. he will also occasionally let go of what he is holding onto and try and stand. He's also trying to take off his shirts and bibs.....
Ryan--is still primarily commando/belly crawling but he has started crawling on hands and knees more often, especially on the hardwood or harder surfaces like the kitchen floor. He is also pulling up on everything and cruising around. Ryan has also gotten TWO top teeth, first he got the one to the right of the middle and then the left top middle tooth!! Ryan has also started occasionally signing "more". Both boys give 'HI Fives" and wave when and if they want to!!
Nursing/Feeding: The boys are still nursing every 4-5 hours during the day. HOWEVER...JUSTIN has restarted waking up in the middle of the night and has been for at least the past two weeks around 2am, so needless to say I'm NOT thrilled. They are also eating 3 meals a day. I can't remember what new foods we have tried this month--I'm pretty sure cheerios are new this month, bagels and apricots. Ryan tested positive for dairy, egg and peanut allergy so that has some cause for concern--due to this we also had sweet potato pancakes--Ryan really liked them and Justin wasn't so sure, but as long as Ryan did that is all that matters--no eggs or milk!! We have continued with some of the foods they've had before but now as finger foods.
Silly face Justin makes..it doesn't mean he doesn't like what he's eating--just a silly face Nana taught him--scrunchy face!!!
Sleeping/Napping: Like I said Justin is up most nights between 1:30 and 2am... : ( Naps continue to be twice daily, usually one long nap and one 45-60 minute nap. Ryan continues to be a better napper. They seem to be getting more consistent with getting up between 5:15 and 6:15am, which is fine b/c they eat and go back to sleep on most days, although not so much when we were in Maine on vacation....but Guy was great and dealt with them early in the mornings!!
Likes/Dislikes: Both boys really like dancing when we put the kiddos music on the TV!!
Justin--loves splashing in water be it the tub, a pool or the lake. Oh and he likes my cell phone too!! Ryan--really likes playing with all kinds of balls and will crawl as fast as he can to get to one on the floor. He also really likes toys that shake and make noise--a Santa wrist rattle, kept him very occupied on our long trip to Maine. Both boys also really like puffs and cheerios!!! Neither of the boys like when I leave the room and Justin still doesn't like to wait to eat when he's hungry. I'm not sure if the boys like or dislike the gate--but the big gate made it's first appearance this month, in hopes of keeping the boys in one room and not on the stairs!!
Sounds: Justin--- continues to make all sorts of sound..."doh" and "dat" is what we hear most often although he still says things like dadadada and nananana ..but he still has no real words that mean anything. but really likes to try and imitate what you're saying.
Ryan-- Ryan has started making more sounds like his brother but still "talks" less..he has more sing songy sounds. The rolling of his tongue when he cries has started when he's Happy too and it's too cute. His "Indian" sounds continue as do everything else he was doing, like making noises into an empty container and then listening!! Ryan also LOVES to imitate Justin and Abigail. In Maine Abigail was in a time out and and throwing a fit and Ryan was right there with the exact same tone but happy and imitating her, it was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while and I'm so glad that Guy saw it too--such a shame we didn't catch it on video.

Other things that happened this month was your first fourth of July. We had a picnic and both of you liked "biting" on the beer bottles.... Guy also celebrated a big birthday--30, and you guys got to spend the day with Nana and Grandma. But our biggest adventure this month was our LONG road trip to Maine for a family reunion. You traveled through many new states and did very well. You swam in a lake and met all sorts of new family members including your great grandparents!!
