11-Months-Old

Well our little boy is officially one month away from his first birthday. As much as I hate how that sounds, we love the little person he has become. He is so much fun to be around and makes us smile and laugh every day. He is still such a good boy, and he is just the cutest little baby. A lot has happened for him this month!

• He learned how to walk! He started walking a little bit between Dan and me and then within two weeks he was walking everywhere. It's so fun to watch him walk everywhere.
• Along with that, he gets new scratches and bruises on his face every day. He sometimes gets too excited and walks fast and then falls on toys, against walls, into doors and cupboards, pretty much everything in our home. 
• He got another haircut. He sort of had these weird wing things going on on the side of his head, and it was a tiny bit mullet-ish in the back, so Dan and I trimmed a few spots up. It looks much better.
• He loves to dance. His favorite song to dance to is "What Does the Fox Say," but turn on any music and he starts moving!
• He loves playing with other kids. This is a pretty recent development, but as of two weeks ago, he has really enjoyed following bigger kids around and playing with them. It's so cute to see him being social and actually playing.
• He loves to just wander around our apartment, especially into our bedroom and his bedroom. He likes to play with my nightstand and to pull books off of his bookshelf. Not my favorite.
• He is in size 4 diapers. Honestly, he could probably still be in size 3 for a few more weeks, but I don't really care. He hasn't leaked at all in the size 4s, and now we don't have any leftover size 3s. Plus I don't want to risk having any poopouts because it's been a long time since we've had one of those.
• He loves to clap. Most of the time he claps because he is happy, but sometimes he claps for no particular reason. Like I was feeding him his bottle this morning and when he was done, we were just sitting there all quiet not talking and he was just clapping. Silly boy. My favorite is when he claps while he is walking. 
• We went to Minneapolis for the first time. We visited our friends who moved up there, we went to Ikea, the Mall of America, and our first away Jazz game!
• Still sleeps 12 hours at night, and we are trying to transition to one nap, but he still gets two most days.
• Drinks three bottles a day, with solid food meals in between.
• He hates eating from a spoon unless he is eating yogurt, but he loooves sweet potatoes and feeding himself.

He is such a fun little boy and we love how his personality is coming through. Jameson lost his grandpa this month, but we know that he is looking down and watching him as much as he can.
