11 Months Old

Wow we are now 11 months old! It is crazy to think but you can tell that our little guy is acting less and less like a baby every day. Andrew is always moving and can hardly sit still. He has to see everything that we are doing, especially in the kitchen. He has really started to copy us with noises we make or our actions, soaking up everything around him. He is moving on to become a walker real soon...walking with his musical toy, making easy work of the furniture, and walking while holding onto our fingers, even just one. Soon I will be seeing him running through the house.

He is up to about 22 lbs now and wearing size 12 month clothes, but his arms could use the 18 month sizes...thanks Daddy :)

If you ask him for a hug, most of the time you will get one. The sweetest thing is that if he thinks you are sad he will crawl over to you and give you one over and over until you are happy again...sweet boy.

Say cheez when he sees a camera and gives a toothy smile with squinty eyes.

Still loves his baths and hates to get out of them.

Two days before he turned 11 months he decided that he no longer wanted baby food. Will still eat the fruits we have prepared for him (pears, applesauce, etc) but other than that he wants our food.

Still loves music and is starting to learn to "dance" by bouncing

Can find his tummy. Just ask him where it is and he will pat it with his hands. This also means that he tries to find ours by lifting up our shirts.

He is down to nursing four times a day.

Takes two naps a  nap. One in the morning at about 9:00 for 40 minutes and then one in the afternoon at about 2:00 for an hour and a half or so. Such a blessing! This is the best he has ever done with napping.

He is working on his 5th tooth, giving him some issues like his other top teeth did.  

 They keep saying I look like daddy

We can't get enough of our little guy and I find it hard to believe that he is almost a year old. God has truely blessed us with him.
