11 Months

My baby will be 1 in a month. How crazy is that? Let us catch up with him and see what he has been up to!

*I took him to the Dr. on the 23rd and he weighed 18 lbs 13.5 ozs.

*He says dada, mama, no, da (dog), done, baba. He claps at everything and points at you when you walk into the room

*He is an eater. He will eat anything and everything you give him: Chicken, pasta, rice, bread, bananas, raspberries, strawberries, fries, mac & cheese, tortillas, cheese...Lets just say he doesn't starve. He still nurses 4-5 times a day as well.

*He is finally crawling, on Friday he finally decided that he could move around on his knees so he started crawling.

*He still has 6 teeth, is in 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

*He is pulling himself up on everything and anything he can get himself to. He likes to get into everything he can.

*He would rather be playing with a toy or moving around the floor trying to get to something then watch whatever is playing on the TV.

*He is still a big time momma's boy and would rather be with mommy then anyone else if I am around.

*He is getting better and better at sleeping all through the night again.

*He loves to ride in the shopping cart.

*He is the happiest baby I know. He is always cheesing it and making funny noises.

Can't wait for what is ahead for us with this little guy!

11 Months

So, so so crazy our little monkey is 11 months old. In T-24 days he will be 1 year old! AGH! My baby soon won't be a baby anymore. But seriously, I say this every month & it is totally true, I am so excited to see what he will be doing next! Of course he is our first, so we haven't ever done this before & it is exciting to see what he learns from 1 day to the next & what he does 1 day & does the next! Lets catch up & see what the little monkey is doing new this month!

*I still have no clue what he weighs, but I bet it is about 19 lbs. He is really growing height wise too!

*WE HAVE A MOBILE BABY! HE IS OFFICIALLY CRAWLING & has been for about 2 weeks now! He still does prefer to roll, but if he wants to get to something fast, he gets right up on those knees & goes for it. He is definitely fast as well!

*His vocabulary has really grown as well, he says do-do, dada, mama, Hi, Hey, Mmm when he eats his food & jibber jabber all over the place. He gets really quiet when it is nosy around him, but when it is quiet, he will let you know he is around!

* He still only has 4 teeth, but I think he has been cutting more for a while now. No new ones have popped up yet though.

*He hasn't been the best sleeper lately. He goes to bed anywhere between 7:30 & 8 & will be up anywhere from 9:30 to 11:30 just screaming. He will go back to sleep a couple minutes later but then about 1-2 he will be screaming again. Only once was he hungry, the other times we have no idea what was going on.

*He has really had a spurt of Separation Anxiety lately. Even when Mike is holding him & I am around he will reach & cry & scream for me until I have him.

*He is still a great eater. We have been trying new & more things with him to kinda get him "Table ready." He is also hand feeding himself now, another big accomplishment from last month.

*He still isn't pulling himself up on things yet, but he just started crawling, so we will give him some time for that.

*He has a favorite toy. It is that green dog you see in the picture above. It sings, says his name & does fun activities with him. He lights up when he sees that dog & it will turn a frown into a smile.

*He has really become interactive with Bear. They both play really well with each other.

*His new thing is to crawl over to the DVD stand & pull all the DVDs out of the bottom row. We definitely for sure need to start baby proofing & securing things to the wall so they don't fall over on him.

I think that is all I can think of! Next month is a BIG MONTH for us! Can't wait! Stay tuned...
