February 25/2015 - Grantham - 11 months

Eleven months...how is that possible? A year ago, we were just returning from state swim, and I felt like a baby boy would join our family at any moment! I might add that I was in fact STILL running too :) Fast forward to today. You are the fastest little walker in the world! You almost run! You have also learned, or are doing/saying the following:

Now that you've mastered how to walk/run, you are interested more in going UP! You crawl all over a Little Tikes table in the family room, and you love the Little Tikes slide! You've fallen many times, and only scream for a few seconds and gently place your little head on my shoulder, and after a few moments of cuddles with mommy, you're off again...ready for more adventure!

You're saying: Mamma, Dadda, What's that (DAT...DAT...DAT...accompanied with a pointing finger), you're still working on Thank You, but you totally say it and have the proper inflection as well! You're saying Dog, and kind of saying Cat...but not really just yet. You also like to mimic when we do the Sally; Uh Uh UHHHH...it's pretty cute.

We finally got the high chair on Valentines Day and you're getting more used to spending time in the chair. You love to feed yourself. You like to eat bananas, baby cookies, baby food- chicken noodles, you adore the little squeezable apple sauce and the raspberry banana yogurt, you love to hold them and you basically suck them dry and then throw the empty container to the ground and scream out for more!

You still sleep a few hours alone and then come to cuddle with me the rest of the night (which I love, of course).

You're still hovering around 21-22 pounds and we're holding out for a solid 22 lbs prior to switching you out of your rear facing car seat with the handle and base.

You love to clap and then make sure everyone else is clapping along with you for you!

You have also recently started fake-laughing when everyone else is laughing...you even bend over and slap your legs...it's beyond adorable!

You love bath time, and you balls! You love to play on your Thomas Train from Gowah and Grandma Pat, and you absolutely adore Garrity!

I am now preparing for your birthday! Such a wonderful first year with you in our lives! We all love you more than you can ever imagine...and then some :)
