11 Months Old

A year ago today I was getting ready to take you to another ballgame at 37 weeks pregnant. I sat sweating at that game wondering what you'd be like. I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined such a sweet little eleven-month-old like you a year later...I think you're really starting to get bored with these wagon shots!Too bad! We'll be doing them every month for the next 17 years.

1 Month - 2 Months - 3 Months - 4 Months - 5 Months - 6 Months - 7 Months - 8 Months - 9 Months - 10 Months

So what are you up to now that you're 11-months-old???

You love to holler.

You know that the phone goes to your ear.

You say cow when we say moo.

You know that a car say broooooom brooooom

Your favorite snacks are Gerber Little Crunchers. They have to stay hidden until you eat your fruits and veggies.

Your eyelashes could make any woman jealous.

You pull your imaginary train whistle when we ask you what Daddy's train says.

You lay your head down when we say "aw, lay your head down" or "are you tired?"

You love doors, but you haven't figured out that they won't open if you are in front of them.

You pretend to not know what "no" means.

You mimic your Aunt B. when she makes "banana sounds." (Much to mom's dismay...)

You will not leave the quilt above your changing table alone.

You give high fives.

You love grapes.

You started taking steps (while we held your arms)! You usually do much better then you did in the following video. We think someone spiked your apple juice.

You are becoming a night owl

You love eating ice cream with your Pa

You are a big help when we put your shirt on.

You love to push yourself around your ABC bus.

You love love love to be outside.

You got your first tooth!

You starting to hate all baby food. The best way to get you to eat them is to read you the ingredients while you eat. (Crazy, I know...)

You have 80 frozen meals.

You still have $95.00 in "diaper money" on Wal-Mart gift cards.

You are now sleeping in a lower crib.

You can get where ever you want to go but scooting on your bottom. And you get there fast!

You've learned to splash (make a mess!) in the tub
You've mastered the sippy cup! You also know how to throw it on the floor over and over again.

Your favorite toys right now are your wooden train and Little People Barn.

You move your head up and down, and say something that resembles "down" when you put your head down.

You say "yeah."

It's hard to believe this the last month of your first year. Everyone said it would go fast but of course we didn't realize they meant THIS fast! We've enjoyed watching you turn into such a curious little boy. Just when we think we have you figured out... you wow us with another trick! We love you Austin! Happy 11-month birthday baby!
