your handsome face: 11 months

Look at those little teeth popping through! We had a few challenges this month... With your first, and second, tummy bug... no fun! But also, some great firsts - like your first picnic, tooth brush, and stolen pair of sunglasses... oops!

11 months

Handsome boy, (or as I have learned to so fondly call you, my sweet booboo) Happy 11 month birthday. Only a few more weeks, and we'll be on to counting the years of your precious life rather than the months and weeks. Sometimes it feels like once you came into our lives, we have been running non-stop. Every time I think I can slow down and appreciate the "new you" that has emerged, you're off and doing something else and changing again. It's amazing really. I've never admired someone so much or wanted to know how their mind is working as much as I do you. It seems strange right? You're learning about blocks and balls and learning to crawl (and some day walk!) and putting together sounds and a few words, but I really wonder what you think of this whole world. Are you as in awe as I suspect you are? Every time you see a ball, even if it was just 10 minutes later, it's a cause for celebration! My 30 years says, yes, it's just a ball... but to you it's the best thing you've encountered all day. And you're so proud of yourself for finding it, and for holding it... and now, throwing it! I am just as in awe of your every move and milestone. Keep growing and learning my little angel. I'm so proud to be your mommy <3

I can climb on and off the chair by myself now!

Trying to escape the chair again!
