11 months young

Since you haven't had a check-up in 2 months & won't
have one for another month, I have no clue how much
you weigh or how long you are! Gotta get out the
measuring tape.

It's been a big month for you! You got your first tooth
just a couple of weeks ago. FINALLY. Now you're
constantly running your tongue over it. Lucky for
us you were a breeze to deal with when teething...
we didn't even know until mommy saw a white
line just under your gums. Such a strong boy!

You've also started standing pretty much constantly.
No steps yet, but it seems like it could be any day
now that you attempt to walk. You're much taller
than a lot of babies your age, so we wonder if your
center of gravity is effected, hehe. That's what
we tell ourselves. Then again, you walking means
a new lifestyle...one of chasing you around as
you get into anything & everything. Fun, but tiring.
& I don't think I can get any more tired.

You haven't said a single word yet, but buddy, you
are SO smart. You play your xylophone & are super
proud as you bang away. You also have two different
tambourines that you adore shaking. We think you're
going to be very musical, which is fine by us :) You
may not have said a word yet but you know what lots
of phrases mean. You are very vocal though & a day
with you includes hearing lots of yelling, laughing &
almost sing-songy sounds.

You've also become a LOT more cuddly. Actually, I
should say you've become cuddly, period, as you were
never a cuddly sort until now. You'll grab at my legs
or shirt for a quick snuggle & you'll lay your head on
my shoulder & just stay there for a few minutes. You
don't even know how much that makes my heart
ACHE with an overwhelming amount of love.

YOU, yes you, are one of the coolest, funniest, most
amazing people I know. & I can't wait to watch you
grow & change more & more, day by day.

Big boy standing!

He's been standing up for a couple of weeks,
but this was the first I caught it on video. Of
course he stood up for much longer twice
before I ran to get the camera...but this
was good enough, hehe ;)
