11 Months Old!

Just writing the words 11 months old feels crazy as we all know what comes next.  I can barely even think about him being 11 months b/c we are so close to ONE and I truly cannot believe it!  But for now, I will try to focus on what he is doing now - at ELEVEN months old!

This past month Champs has gotten even more on the go, though still not walking.  He stands all the time and looks very stable, but doesn't have interest in taking steps just yet.  He can cruise all around furniture too.  He is so vocal - I can't understand what he's saying yet, but boy does he have a lot to say!

He loves pointing, clapping, doing his finger back and forth over his lips to make the funny noise (try it - you know what i'm talking about!), reading his books (especially Pat the Bunny and Where's Spot), drinking his milk from his cup, riding in his car and so much more!  He has gotten a little more clingy this past month, though this week not as much as last!  He does love his Mama, though he just cannot figure out how to say Mama.   We hear a lot of Dadadadada though! :)  He has started liking to play with a ball these last couple of weeks.  We throw/roll is back to each other.  He also just learned how to "high-five"!

He really is so funny.  He makes us laugh constantly and we could just watch him all the time.  He is very responsive to people - both his family/friends and new people.  He loves to smile and laugh and show them his tricks.  

These pictures will show you that he is definitely on the move nonstop, as I could barely even get any that he wasn't in motion!

Oh man, these pics again?

I'm not even going to look.

One smile and maybe she'll stop. 

She really is pretty funny.

Oh hey, Sammy. 

I really love you Sammy.

Funny if you think we're starting all over in here now.

11 months people - it's a wrap!

Weight: Around 23lbs is my guess - he feels heavy!!
Height: Not sure - maybe around 31in
LOVES: Pulling up and standing, cruising around furniture, pointing, playing peek-a-boo! 
NEW THINGS: Clapping, Pointing, more "words".  He also has begun to have a little temper tantrum in him.  Take something away or change his diaper when he doesn't feel like it - red faced, throwing the head back, crying.  Oh my - what do we have ahead?!? 
EATS: 3 meals a day now consisting of all table food.  He is doing great with his sippy cup and now drinking morning, lunch, supper and all snacks with milk in sippy cup.  Still has his nighttime bottle though. 
SLEEP: Champs has pretty much moved to 1 nap a day at noon that last 2 to 3 hours.  We started this b/c this is what he will do at Eastminster when he starts there next month.  And is sleeping through the night!
TEETH: His top two teeth have come down more.  They have a huge gap in between them just like mine did :)  They look quite large too - hopefully will grow into them?!

He is a very sweet, loving, funny boy and I am getting so excited to celebrate his 1st Birthday!!!
