11 Months!

(really?)

This is the last ONE before the big ONE! Holy Moly! This is our last baby month update, I can’t believe it! Here are so tidbits:

• Sleeps from 7-7:30pm to 5-6am
• Size 4 diapers
• 18month clothes, although we are still squeezing in some 12 months
• Loves cups, balls, outside, books, cords/straps, the shower, TV(very limited, I promise)
• Favorite foods:puffs, mummums, cheerios, and GRAPES!
• He is Mr.Fidget now, wiggles everywhere
• Gives lot of kisses, waves hi(when he is in his carseat or highchair), has a funny laugh when he is excited, and the whinning has picked up
• A lot more talking, but the only real words are Mama,and  MOM!(funny though, I was trying to get him to say Dada first, but hey I will take it!)
• Is rolling around everywhere! He is not super fast just yet, so we still have a little time to catch him!

• He loves TV. We used to be able to have it on in the background but now he stops playing and just watches it. We don’t mind him watching football or if he is doing some PT exercises while watching. Most mornings I have him working out on the exercise ball watching the wiggles or Veggie Tales.

• Has figured out a few toys! (yeah, cognitive development!) He can open/close, on/off, in/out! He is now incorporating playing with his eating of toys! He loves his bucket of small toys, and it is like searching for hidden treasure to find that silly paci in there.

• He needs something to do in the kitchen now while we are either getting meals ready or cleaning up. He will sit in front of the Tupperware cabinet or in front of the fridge and play with magnets.

 

• LOVES feeding himself. Some days he even boycotts the spoon. He is a big boy now! He even has had his first (of many) taco nights.

    

• Drinks from a straw now! We have been working on this for a little while and he finally got it(literally!) Straw drinking will increase his tone in his face and help with speech!

• And yes, we have joined the “Can’t-get-the-kid-to-stay-in-the-chair-for-pictures” Club! (no one was hurt in the making of this post!)
