11 months

My baby is 11 months old today. Only one short month away from his first birthday. It just blows my mind that we have almost had him here with us for an entire year!! He brings more joy (and frustration...he is refusing to go to bed as I write this post) to our family than I ever thought possible. He is such a charmer and will smile at anyone who will smile back at him.

Here is what he is up to these days:

*He weighs about 24 lbs.
*He wears size 12-18 month clothes.
*He was taking 2 naps a day before he got sick last week but since then he has gotten off his schedule and been fighting them big time!!
*He typically goes to bed around 7:30 pm but with it staying light out until almost 9 that has become a bit more challenging!!
*He has 8 teeth. 4 on top and 4 on bottom and the dr. said his molars were coming in as well.
*He is a pro at crawling.
*He will pull up to standing on the furniture but doesn't walk around holding on yet.
*He is getting better at entertaining himself with toys for longer periods of time.
*He drinks 2-3 8 oz. bottles a day.
*His favorite food right now is Mac and Cheese.
*He gives high 5's and thinks its hilarious.
*He loves being outside.
*He loves bath time.
*He loves when you sing this song we made up about his name to the tune of "Are you Sleeping."
*He has started getting upset when we leave him with people he isn't familiar with (ie. sitters and bible class) which is kind of a bummer. Hopefully, he gets over that quickly.
*He has the most beautiful blue eyes that will just melt your heart!!

He is just full of personality and a joy to be around (most of the time). I am excited to celebrate his first birthday next month. I know he won't remember it but we will have lots of pictures to document the occasion. Happy 11 months baby boy!!
