11 Months

Well I just noticed that I haven’t documented anything about my sweet boy’s progress since he was 8 months old. Well a lot has happened this month!!

Weight: 20.2 lbs   Length: Unsure

• Wears 12-18 month tops and 6-12 month bottoms (that we have to roll up because your legs are so short)
• Wear size 3 diapers
• At your 10 month appointment you were in 13% for height and 32% for weight. Small & Mighty!
• Drinking Whole Milk since 9 months
• Has 6 teeth and eats real food. You didn’t care much for the baby food once you got teeth
• Favorite Snacks: Cheerios, Gerber Cheese Puffs, CoCo Puffs
• Favorite foods: Spaghetti, Grilled Cheese
• You don’t drink out of a bottle anymore & really haven’t since you were 10 months
• You started taking steps around 9.5 months and really getting brave around 10 months. You are now pretty much walking everywhere. It was so cute to watch you cruising around the couch at full speed!!
• Words: Dada, Mama (when you are sad only), Trenton, Brother, Ball, Slugger, Papas, Thank you
• You seem to respond better when Daddy (and Ms. Rebecka at school) talk to you in spanish!!
• Signs: All done & More (you rarely use the signs because screaming loudly usually gets you what you want from Big Brother)
• You have quite the temper and you know how to use it
• You love baseballs, footballs and pretty much any kind of ball. You love to throw them back & forth with who ever will play with you.
• You still have a pacifier, but can go without it for short periods of time
• You are such a happy kid like your brother. We get so many compliments on how happy you are!
• Songs you like: Itsy Bitsy Spider, You are my Sunshine, Good Morning (song Mommy made up for you & Trenton), Wheels on the Bus
• You HATE getting your diaper changed, so much that the sweet ladies at church are scared to change you!
• You have had a long series of ear infections over the last couple of months
• October 9 – First ER visit for croup. You had to have a breathing treatment and chest X-ray. You are all better now, but scared me!
• You adore your big brother & want to be just like him
• Lately you have had separation anxiety when we drop you off at school or in the church nursery.
• You have the cutest curls in your hair! (For the record your Dad begs me to cut your hair daily, but I refuse! They are just too cute!)

You are turning 1 next Thursday and I can hardly believe it! It seems like yesterday I was documenting my pregnancy and now you are going to be one. I love you so much and I am so happy you chose me to be your Mommy!
