1. You are doing something new every single day! Last month you learned how to sit up in your crib, and this month you are standing and cruising (walking while holding on to the rail)!!!
Look what I found!
Unfortunately, the mobile had to go this month! Now that you can reach it,
you pull the animals off! We left the projector part of the mobile up though.
You love watching in on the ceiling as you try to go to sleep (or try not to go to sleep! hehe)
2. Not only do you pull up to standing and cruise in your crib, but you now do that EVERYWHERE! And I mean EVERYWHERE... the living room, the bathtub, the church pew... everywhere! lol You LOVE to walk along the couch and see what all you can get into. This means no more leaving cups on the end tables... or remotes! hehe
You LOVE your new toy!
Watching Da-da work in the yard! :)
3. You still think bath time is the greatest thing EVER! You get very excited when you hear the water running! :) Now you like to stand beside the tub and watch it fill up!
Gotta supervise!
Daddy gave me a Mohawk! :)
Rub-a-dub!
4. We helped daddy celebrate his FIRST ever Father's day! You and Daddy even got a gift at church for being the Daddy with the youngest baby! :)
We both think Daddy is pretty awesome! ;)
Happy Father's Day Daddy! Love, Connor
5. You are officially crawling on your hands and knees! Momma actually thought you were going to skip this and just go straight to walking, but you surprised us all!
My sweet, big boy! Check out that boo boo on your forehead!
You've taken a few nosedives trying to walk!
Crawling to the floor vents :)
You still whip out your army crawl when you need it! ;)
It gets you where you need to go A LOT faster! lol
6. The sleep situation is getting much better this month! You are sometimes quite the challenge to get to sleep! You go down for bedtime like a dream... after a few cuddles with Ma-ma, you lay in your crib and are out like a light for 10-12 hours! :)
Now, nap time is a different story! In the past 2 weeks, you have gone from taking three naps... to two naps... to one nap... to thinking you don't need ANY naps! lol Momma begs to differ. We will be taking at least one nap Bubby. :) Now that you can stand in your crib and cruise... you refuse to succumb to sleep!
LOL! You are pretty funny when you are fighting your sleep, Bubby!
Nap time is getting better though. :) Some days you surprise me and go right to sleep, and other days it takes a while... and a little bit of playing to do the trick. I'm sure we'll be back on track soon! ;)
7. This month we have graduated to more big boy foods! You love eating granola bars, acorn squash, green beans, mashed potatoes, banana slices, apple chunks, and crushed blueberries, YUM! You are even becoming a pro at the sippy cup!
I'll share with you Momma!
Yummy!
Sweet baby boy!
Look at me!
8. You have started to figure out how to work your toys all by yourself! You squeeze Scout the Dog's paw so that he will sing to you. You press the buttons on your musical books, toys, and on your mobile. My personal favorite is that you learned how to put the ball in the giraffe's mouth on one of your toys, see:
Look, Momma!
I've got this!!!
It worked!!!
9. You are pointing! You've figured out how to get that little index finger up in the air all by itself! You point to things you want and things you want to know more about! You love to point at the lights because you think they are pretty cool! :) Here you are pointing to Momma:
10. You have found your nose!!! LOL Momma has been asking you for months, "Where's your nose?" and now you can point to it! You can also point out Momma and Da-da's noses! You are growing up so fast!
Trying to get Momma's nose! :)
11. Last, but not least, your current favorite toy is Leap Frog Fridge Phonics! You think it is the best thing since sliced bread! You love to play with it while Momma and Da-da work in the kitchen! It keeps you occupied long enough for us to cook or clean up! :) Momma loves that fact that you try to sing the letter sounds with it! :)
Such a big boy!
Just think, in a month I'll be posting about all that my toddler is doing! :( I can't believe you are going to be a whole year old! With that in mind, next up: a trip to Florida and your FIRST birthday party!!!! Lots of exciting things coming up! :) (Stay tuned to our blog for updates!)
Happy 11 months, Bubby! You are our whole world and we love you so much!
Love,
Momma and Da-da
