11 Months

This kid is a hoot!  He is always doing silly things to get my attention.  He loves squeeling and waving around his little hands.  He also likes long stick-like things to wave around.  He loves dancing too... whenever he hears anything resembling music he starts bouncing with a big smile. :)  One thing that he has REALLY been into lately is lids... he sits for long periods of time concentrating really hard on putting lids on and off of things (small things like chapstick or pens)... he usually gets frustrated and chucks them across the room so I put the lid back on for him to try again and this cycle goes on.

Some other things he's started this month:
- He cut his first TEETH... yes, that's right... 4 teeth in 10 days (the first one, top right came through on Jan 4th and then the next was the bottom left, top left, then bottom right. :)  It's kind of crazy seeing teeth in his smile now)
- He can take one or two steps by himself now and can stand on his own for a LONG time.
- He can somewhat feed himself with a spoon... as long as I get the food on the spoon for him and give it to him in the right position.
- He now has enough hair to style. :)

Here are some pictures we've taken this month:

Yes... he can officially climb ALL of our stairs... going down them is another story. :)

I'm pretty sure "driving cars" like this is innate to boys... now we just need to add the sound effects that boys are naturally so good at making. :)

He is looking so grown up!  He officially has enough hair to do a little styling with. :)

HE loves his baths with Lena.

Oh yes, he is now officially getting into things and making messes like crazy. :)  He loves exploring cupboards that things that are anyone else's "toys" but his. :)

Messy face!

We decided to experiment a little and part his hair after his bath... Randy calls him little "Dapper Dan" with this hair-do. :)
