11 Months (almost 12)



Hey baby boy,
Your daddy has been very busy lately, so this entry is actually being written only 10 days before your first birthday! So, sorry about the lateness, but it gives us a lot to talk about!

Let's see, where to start? You are a hard guy to keep in one place these days, you crawl like the wind, and also enjoy pulling yourself up on anything or anyone handy, so you can walk around holding onto something. You also love taking walks while holding someone by each hand- you can do this for hours. Four days ago you actually stood up on your own at the beach for about 10 seconds! Your dad saw it, but your mom was busy boogieboarding.

You also got a yellow shovel at the beach which you now carry everywhere. Crawling? Yellow shovel. Riding in the car? Yellow shovel. Nursing? Yellow shovel. It's a very versatile tool.

You are also eating more and more actual food now: cereal, sweet potato, yogurt, tofu, chicken, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, pear, squashes, and a whole bunch of stuff I can't even remember. You've taken after your dad in that vegetables are not really your thing, but we find ways to sneak them down anyhow.

So, your dad has a bet that you will walk before your first birthday, and time is getting short. So Wednesday when you are home with dad, it's a training day- no excuses! Happy 11+ months little boy!
