We've been busy! I am late.. and I've missed a monthly update but... that's because you are now up and running !! Not JUST running either; you also climb! You have officially learned to climb up on the bed all on your own with absolutely no assistance You are so intelligent and you know how to get into everything and anything. :p
You are mommy's little mischievous boy! But boy do I love you... and so does your daddy and sissy. :)
I also want to add here that you have grown the most beautiful curly hair!
You are talking! Oh man, are you talking!! You say Mama, Dada, up, Kitty, Dog, Sissy, hi, bye bye, and yeah!
You also still sign please and you've seemed to have started using the sign 'cookie' for 'food' lol! You wave hi and bye, shake your head no, nod yes, and you blow kisses. You've figured out how to drink from a straw sippy cup and you can hang off the table by your hands and arms with your little legs up in the air! haha.
You have so much personality in such a little body lol.
Oh and you've FINALLY stopped screaming ALL THE TIME in the car lol, you still cry sometimes but most of the time you're pretty calm and just handle it well.
You are an extremely good eater - practically a pro; you love food so much - you will eat just about anything.
Oh yeah!!! This is so exciting! You understand how to color ! I gave you some crayons last week or so with a notebook and you made a beautiful art piece ! <3 I love it so much. :) I read that babies/toddlers typically don't have the hand dexterity to color until they're between the ages of 14-16 months old and you are only just turned 11, my smart little man!!
You have become very active at the park now that you can walk... although, now we can't go until spring time because it's just become far too cold to be outside for any period of time. You've gone down the slides and you climb up the activity things. I also put you on one of the little rockers and you knew exactly how to get it to rock - all on your own!! :D |

We're now 11 months into breastfeeding and we're nursing strong!! <3 Almost 1 full year of breastfeeding! I am so proud of us and I'm so proud of my body for being able to give you this incredible nourishment and comfort! <3
We have remained in contact with Lucy and her mom Sara who we met at the babywearing meet ups. :) We meet up with them from time to time - this past month we met up at the library and at the park. You two together are just adorable. Especially since recently you've picked up a habit of hugging other children that you meet haha, it's SO CUTEE!!! Aside from Lucy you've also hugged Lailah's cousin Ava. You walked up to her at the park and you hugged her and just wouldn't let go lol. And you also tried to hug a little boy in Lailah's school yard while we were waiting to pick her up from school. You are just such a love bug!
Let's NOT FORGET!! YOUR VERY FIRST HALLOWEEN!!!! :D You were adorable. I crocheted your costume. :) You were Superman! Or Superbaby :p Whatever. :p It was so cute. We went trick or treating with your sissy, Mammy, Papa Doug, Mammy's step kids, Uncle Brian, and Daddy. :) I carried you in our Mai Tei Carrier.
Oh my goodness.. your relationship with your big sister. <3 I've never seen anything like it. You both love each other so much! I'm not even exaggerating. She comes home from school and you yell SISSY!! And you reach out to her and sit on her lap, hug her, and kiss her. I'm positive it's how you tell her you miss her. It's just so amazing. I've never seen siblings so extremely close before as you both are to each other.
To wrap this up... you have come SUCH A LONG WAY. You have hit many milestone and you are on your way to becoming a toddler! :*) It makes me tear up!! This year has flown by and I am so sad to acknowledge the fact that you won't be my little infant anymore! But I am so excited to watch you continue to grow and learn each day. Next time I make a post you will be ONE. A whole year old. Time flies. I want you to know I love you more than words can describe. I am proud to be your mommy. <3
