11 months

This time next month we will be celebrating you first birthday!

It's hard to believe we'll be ready for a party in the new house a month from now, but you know how I like a good, stress-ridden challenge (if you're not familiar with this trait of mine, just ask Dad) :)

Last month got so busy that a 10 month post slipped by, so I've got a lot of new news for you!
  • Since spending time together in Cali, you've become a HUGE Mamma's boy.  I love how cuddly you've been, but with you and Abigail both being big Mom fans, it becomes a little exhausting (although your sweet attention makes it hard to complain)
  • We've plateaued at 6 teeth (none since 8 months), but with lots of chewing and drooling, I think we have another round coming soon
  • You've started taking your first steps.  You can walk about 3-5 steps at a time and take such pride in each one.
  • You love pulling up on Sissy to walk with her.  This has ended badly more than once.
  • Sleeping from 6:30pm-6:30am with a waking to feed around 2-4am
  • You started waving last month and love attracting the attention of strangers
  • Tons of bababa and dadada's, but not related to identifying objects yet
  • Your green teether is my go-to for keeping you busy
  • You destroyed my sunglasses this morning in the gravel, so I bought you your own today and you love them
  • You and Sissy love yelling together in the car.  You trade off matching pitch and length of yells.  It's Ibuprofen worthy but so sweet
  • Favorite foods: blueberries (tis the season!), nectarines, avocado, peanut butter toast, and baby puffs (the big ones that look like Cheetos Puffs are your favorite)
  • I bought you your first pair of shoes last week: size 5 (!!) and I'd bet by this winter you pass Abigail in shoe size.
  • You fell on the corner of the fireplace last month and looked like a boxer for a few days.  Bumps and bruises are very common right now.
  • You love to dance and clap in time to music.  Grandma is sure you'll be a professional musician some day ;)


You are growing so much and becoming such an engaged, happy boy.  I am so proud of you and can't wait to celebrate your first birthday next month.

Love you!

Mom
