11 months

We've had lots of fun watching Little Bud's personality develop over the last month!  He continues to be my little sweetheart, but he's also not afraid to let you know when he needs something or feels left out.  Eating is definitely his favorite activity, and he prefers to feed himself.  After weeks of trying to keep him from inspecting every bite AFTER we put it in his mouth (meaning he would pull out whatever you fed him and look it over before smashing it back into his mouth), we gave in and are now letting him feed himself.  Mealtime is a much more pleasant experience for us all now.  Hopefully at some point, he'll master the fork and spoon so that he's not a total disaster after every meal.

He's starting to crawl on his hands and knees, and pulls himself up on anything and everything.  This weekend we even found him holding onto and walking around Big Sister's table and kitchen set. 

He loves to cuddle when he's sleepy and gives the best kisses!  As I'm typing this, he's giving himself kisses via a little play mirror :) 

He LOVES to play with Daddy, and he is the most ticklish baby I've ever known.  Sometimes he'll even start giggling when I rub his back. 

Here's his 11 month stats:
Size 3 Diapers
3 to 6 month pants
6 to 9 month shirts
12 month one piece outfits
7 teeth (4 on top, 3 on bottom)

He nurses 4 times a day and also has at least 1, 5 oz bottle of coconut milk
He eats 3 meals a day, plus a couple of snacks

He'll go for his one year check up the first of next month.  I'll be interested to see how much he's grown over the last 3 months. 

I love this little guy so much!!

 

 

I love this silly little face!
