11 Months

January 13, 2014

How is it possible that you will be a year old next month?!

You love to crawl around.  You are pretty much crawling off of your stomach all the time.

You love to stand up.  We have to be right by you since you aren't very stable, yet.

You will walk along objects while you are standing up.

You can crawl up stairs.

You like to put your lips together to make the brrrrrrr sound.  Also, you like to make a growling sound.

You are still a good sleeper.

You give kisses.  One day, you just crawled up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek out of the blue.  It melted my heart!

You are learning to use a sippy cup.

You like to feed yourself.  You bat away the spoon when you really want to feed yourself.  You are still a good eater.  You are eating a lot more finger foods.

We celebrated your first Christmas in Nebraska.  You had three different Christmas's.  You are a loved little boy.

We celebrated your first New Year's Eve by going to dinner with the neighbors.  On New Year's Day, we watched the Husker game with the Van Long's.  They won!

You like to play with balls.  You make baskets in your little basketball hoop.  You can kick balls, too.

You like to find the doorstops and play with them.  You also love to open and shut doors and drawers.  You are not a fan of the locks we put on everything in the kitchen.

You like to stand on your head with your feet on the ground.

You really like to play peek a boo.  You will put your little blanket over your face and think it's funny to put it on my face, too.

You got another tooth on the bottom.  You have seven teeth now.  The bottom tooth seemed to bother you more than your top teeth.  You didn't eat much food for a few days and had a hard time going to sleep at night.

You babble a lot.

You love to read books especially flap books.

You like to watch BabyFirst tv.

We love to make you laugh.  It is the best sound in the world!
