Baby N: 11 Months

I would cry, but I am afraid that if I start, I will not stop. You are growing too fast! In one month you will be a year old!

Weight: 21+ lbs

Height: ~30 inches

Clothes: 9-12 months

Eat: You are making me eat my words from last month. You are now willingly feeding yourself finger foods and drinking your bottle without hesitation. You are still a little unsure about your sippy cup but you are getting there. You are a pretty good eater. You love fruits and macaroni and cheese. You have been eating 6-8 ounces every 4 hours and manage to eat 3 meals a day with a snack or two.

Sleep: We are still considering ourselves blessed with your sleeping. You go down around 7p.m. and wake around 5-5:30a.m. Lately you've had some allergy issues and your coughing wakes you/us up a couple times a night. Fortunately, you tend to fall back asleep without any intervention. You are not much of a nap taker these days. You usually have a couple cat naps in the morning and then, if we're lucky, you nap for an hour or so in the afternoon. Your sister has always  been (and still is) a big time nap taker...so...feel free to jump on the wagon little guy.

Play: Your days of play are changing drastically. You are now crawling...and I don't mean just inching. You are all over the place! You love balls...well, you love anything that rolls or moves in a way that you can go after it. Oranges are a huge hit with you.

You love spending warm afternoons outside. Now that you are moving around more, you've learned there is so much to discover. You will be keeping up with your sister in no time.

We've added a few more fire trucks to your toy collection and you are a big fan. While I don't wish you into that profession, I would not be surprised if you develop a love for it like your daddy.

Odds and Ends: YOU ARE CRAWLING!

We dedicated you to the Lord (well, long before your conception in all honesty) on Mother's Day.

You gave us quite a scare earlier in the month. We were concerned that you may be experiencing seizures, but our pediatrician believes it is an eye issue. You will see a specialist on the 7th. Prayerfully all will be well.

Hanging out at the doctor's office

You keep us laughing with your facial expressions, giggles and smiles. You do a great job waving and often get it in context. You are also trying to mimic some words such as "uh-oh". We can't get enough of you.

We could not be more in love with you, Bugaboo. You fill our lives with so much joy. Happy 11 months!
