11 months old

Another month older...can't believe how fast you are growing up! You are always happy...always smiling...always laughing! You bring so much joy to our family...it's hard to imagine what life was like before you came along. Happy 11 months little boy!

Yesterday you got your very first haircut. Thanks to Mary Evelyn. You had a mullet, and it was time to see it go. It was very strange getting your hair cut before you even had a birthday. I think your brother was 2 before he ever needed a haircut. It amazes me everyday how different you two are!

much better...and so so cute!!
You can wave bye bye and sometimes you will say it too...it comes out more like dye dye. You can show me your tongue..still working on other body parts. You are a daddy's boy...if he's in the room you have to be in his arms. You are making a new face with your nose crinkled up - mostly when you are trying new foods.

You love to dance! If you hear music you stop in your tracks and start to groove. I can even sing a song and you will go to town.

You love your big brother! He is such a big helper!

You are so much fun to feed, because you love to eat! You like just about anything! You are still eating some baby food, but mostly table food. You love blueberries, bananas, pasta, avocado cream cheese spread, oatmeal, beans (right out of a can), cheese, yogurt, applesauce, hamburger, potatoes...really anything I have given you except green peas or green beans.

You are keeping me busy!! Just today you got in the potty twice...and had to get a bath before lunch because you somehow got your diaper off and you were playing in its contents - yuck! You want to empty every cabinet, every drawer, every bag within your reach, every laundry basket, every toy bucket...what am I going to do when you start walking??

This is my favorite pose!

You are taking steps!! You stand up in the middle of a room and you will just stand there for a while...sometimes you may take a step or you'll just get down and start crawling. You have taken 2-3 steps at a time, and you love, love, love to cruise around on the furniture.

We love you!

Let the party planning begin!
