Our Little Man Is Eleven Months

Our baby boy turned eleven months today. Where is the time going?!? I can't believe that next month he is already going to be one. It sure is amazing to see these little miracles grow up right before our eyes.






I had a lot of fun on this photo shoot because I had a little assistant. Bella was a huge help tagging along, and jumping in when I needed an extra hand.
Here are a few fun facts about our little guy.
* He is still sucking his thumb, and it has to be his right hand.
* He can be a real trouble maker, or is very determined (I guess it depends on how you look at it.) ~ For example some of the things he likes doing is playing in the potted plants, he digs in the trash, he loves playing in the dog dish, when the gate is down he always makes a b-line for climbing up the stairs, etc. The crazy thing is he is doing it all with a smile on his face. Like he knows what he is doing is wrong, and knows that you can't get mad at him when he flashes you that big smile.
* He is already starting tantrums. When he doesn't get what he wants he arches his back, and cries.
* His new favorite foods that he has found over the past month are string cheese and watermelon.
* This last month he stood by himself for half a second.
* He finally decided to play in the grass. He doesn't mind crawling around, and being outside playing.
* We have a little tractor that he can stand and walk with. It is so cute watching him totter along.
* He along with our other two kiddos met their grandparents (Jeff's mom and step-dad) for the first time this past month.
* He LOVES to dance. When he hears a song he likes, his little arms start going, and it is absolutely adorable!
* He loves bath time and hates showers. He cries the whole time he is in the shower, and sometimes he screams hysterically.
* His eyes are looking a lot better. This last month he was on two different types of antibiotic eye drops for an infection. Somehow it also seemed to clear up the blocked tear duct problem as well.
* He has decided that he doesn't want to take a nap at church anymore. Sometimes I get to stay in a class, but most Sundays we are roaming the hallways.
* He makes these hilarious facial expressions now. He smiles with his eyes closed and throws his head back, because he thinks it's so funny.
* He is still a pretty little guy compared to other babies. He weighs around 19.8 pounds and is 29 inches long.
* He has now learned how to go up and down stairs.
* He is wearing size 9 months and some 12 month clothes. His waist is so small, but he has pretty long legs which makes finding pants a little tricky.
* He is such a sweet and cuddly little boy. I can still get him to give me hugs and kisses, and I hope he never grows out of that.

I hate to break this to you, but your baby girl doesn't look very much like a baby anymore. She looks so big now when she has her hair pulled back it's unbelievable. :) Hard to believe how big they are all getting.
