11 Months Old!

Can it be that my baby is 11 months old! It makes me so sad that he will be one pretty soon! He is changing so quickly that in the last two weeks he is doing ever more stuff but I will write this like I was on the ball and did it the day he turned 11 months!

1. I love this little boy so much! He is such a love bug! He loves to cuddle and give slobbery kisses but he has added big bear hugs now as well. They are the best!! He grabs on tight, lays his head down on your shoulder and squeezes. It gets us every time!

2. He is such a mama's boy! If he has his mama he is a happy camper! It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing all he needs is his mama and he is just fine.

3. Is talking up a storm! I cannot believe how much he can talk and he is very early on all of this so every time he does I am so surprised and don't believe he is actually saying it until the 12th time he does. At 11 months he says, Mama, Dadya (that is what he calls his dad so cute!!), uh-oh, ball. If you ask him what a cow says he says "mmmmmoo". He has to say "hi" to everyone on the street and if they don't say hi back he says it louder until he gets there attention. I think that was all he was saying at 11 months he has a few more now but we will wait until next month to post.

4. Takes 2 really good naps and is doing so much better at night

5. Loves to eat and his new favorite thing is blueberries! He cannot get enough of them! He also likes pizza, pasta, pancakes, peas, corn, spinach and pretty much anything else you give him.

6. Can crawl ridiculously fast with his little kick stand crawl. He stands all the time by himself but he isn't that interested in walking yet. He knows he can get there faster by crawling. Cruises around everything though including walking down the walls.

7. Is really starting to enjoy his books and likes to read the ones that have the touch and feel or the pop-ups. One of his favorite books right now is a Halloween book that has things you can touch but the only thing he likes is the black cat and he laughs every time. He also like the where is baby book where you flip it up and there is a baby hiding. He thinks it is so funny!

8. Knows all the hand motions to itsy bitsey spider, wheels on the bus and patty cake. I didn't know he knew patty cake but the other day I was changing his diaper and was singing to him like usual and he started doing it! I couldn't believe it!

9. Likes to pretend he is talking on the phone and starts the conversation out by saying hi and then just babbles.

10. Shakes his head no and will nod for yes but prefers no

11. Is our one tooth wonder! The second tooth has been sitting there for about a month and he got his first tooth on October 20. It is pretty cute!

12. He is such a good baby!

He is so much fun and keeps us laughing constantly!
