{11 months}

~You love to point at everything and while doing you perfect "O" with your mouth.
~You learned how to climb stairs. I will look over and you are already at the 2nd step, you love it when we walk behind you  while you climb up all the stairs while laughing.
~Once you have reached the top or sometimes right in the middle of climbing you will turn around and we will grab your fingers and walk you down the stairs. This is your all time favorite thing to do right now.
~You can easily pull yourself up on things, your also scooting across the coaches.
~You always say "dada" at everything and once in a while you will throw in "mama", "nana", and "do(g)"(G is faintly said), and ball.
~You started waving, not the typical wave. You move your hand up and your whole arm and hand is straight out. (We call it the Hitler wave)
~You started to pat our backs when we pat yours.
~You would rather be holding our hands and walking than crawling.
~You love to look at yourself in the mirror while we drive around town. You get a huge smile on your face and laugh.
~You love it when dad will crawl after you, It makes you giggle.
~You have found your voice, you make this silly Indian noise and a very high pitch scream (especially when we are changing your diaper).
~You learned how to blow raspberries.
~You still think it's the funniest thing when you pull mommies hair. When I say "ouch" you will only pull and laugh harder. It takes both mom and dad to pull you off of my hair.
~You think we are your jungle gym because you are constantly climbing all over us.

~You are more interested in food. The new food adventure you are liking are:

• Spaghetti
• Pizza (especially the cooked pineapple)
• fresh cut peaches
• bread or toast with butter
• fresh bananas
• pancakes with syrup

It's so fun to watch you grab the food with your pointer finger and thumb. Sometimes it makes it in your mouth but the majority of time it falls in your lap. Then I will slip in a piece while you are busy grabbing for more food so at least you are getting something. It is always a struggle to get you to eat. You will only eat 2-3 bites and then you will have nothing to do with it.  So, by the end of the day you have about 5-6 bottles of formula.

Oh sweet boy, We love to watch you explore new things. Your world has defiantly gotten bigger and you love every waking moment exploring it. You always make us laugh with the many facial expressions you have. They sure do speak louder then words! We are so blessed to have you in our family. We love you.
