you're eleven months, buddy

My time with you just keeps flying on by. Here you are in a nutshell...

• you might want to read your 10 month post first. needless to say, i'm a little behind...
• you can get up on all fours now, although you aren't crawling (like on the diaper commercials)...yet.
• you can get anywhere you want by either rolling across the room, scooting, or doing this kinda weird army crawl thing. when you army crawl, your belly never leaves the ground, but somehow, you manage to make it work :)
• we just celebrated your very first Christmas, which was oh so special.
• you are still in 9-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. although once the 3's are gone, we are onto the 4's.
• you cut your second tooth on january 3rd. it is the bottom, center, right one. so, now you have a pair. trust me when i tell you that teething is never a pleasant experience for either of us.
• i was so desperate for teething relief that i bought you an amber teething necklace, and i think it's working.
• you can say uh-oh now. and today, when you dropped your sippy cup, you chimed in with your "uh-oh." although it sounds kind of like "uh-ah."
• da-da, ma-ma, and bye-bye are also a part of your repertoire.
• occasionally, you will give me kisses when i say "kissy, kissy."
• and your daddy says that you have signed "more" and "all-done," although i haven't seen it.
• usually instead of signing, you scream. could you please stop?
• on my birthday, you slept until 7:45 in the morning. can we say, "best gift ever?"
• you have kept it up and continue to sleep 12 hours each night. 7:30 to 7:30. pure heaven.
• about two weeks ago, i cut out a nursing session. so, we are down to a 7:30 am, 2 pm, and 7:30 pm feeding.
• naps are at 10 am and 2 pm.
• you eat all three meals with us now, and you just love people food!
• you got your first haircut on january 5th. you can see pics here.
• you can sit yourself up in your crib now which has been interesting. new tricks always are.
• i've also seen you on your knees a few times trying to reach for something.
• and because no post is complete without a photo, here you are with sister, just a few days before your 11 month milestone...

she's always got some sort of plan for you. i rescue you when i can :)

love you little fellow!
