11 Months Old

(You'll notice a different chair because we were at my parents on his 11 months b-day) Every day Carter is looking more and more like a little boy and not my little baby. This past week he looks like he is getting so much taller, however when I measured him this month he was still about the same as last. Hmmm, interesting.

• 19.4 lbs
• 28inches
• Still loves pushing anything and everything around
• Has really started climbing up on things, especially to get to something else
• Has learned how to "click" his tongue
• Says, "mom" "Ace" "da-da" and occasionally says things that sounds like words but usually doesn't do it again. Jabbers all the time as well as high pitched squealing.
• Has learned how to put toys inside other toys or boxes/laundry baskets and pull them back out. He's loves putting everything in and out!
• Just over the weekend finally figured out how to drink out of his sippy cup and does very well at it!
• Takes two naps a day for an hour or two
• Is usually in bed by 8/8:30 and continues to usually wake up around 5 and then goes back to bed until around 7
• Loves to mimic sounds and noises we make.
• Still wears mostly 9 mo onesies/tops and pants and shorts however also fits into some of his 12 mo stuff. He's right in between with the 9 mo pants being to short but the 12 mo being to long and big in the waist. He starting to outgrow a few of his size 3 shoes and starting to fit his size 4 ones
• Is fascinated by the floor fan in his bedroom and any other fans he sees
• We usually find him when he wakes up with everything that had been in his crib thrown out on the floor
• Can walk along things or with us one handed but still prefers two handed. Can stand by himself - but not by choice and he quickly squats down to the floor when we try to make him stand
• Will only eat things he can pick up himself or that we put in his mouth with our hands. He only likes spoons to play with (maybe due to the fact that spoons use to contain purred mashed up "yucky" food). He enjoys eating pieces of bread, cheerios/puff snacks, most fruits including his favs of blueberry's, nectarines, peaches, grapes, and pears. He loves cheese and little pieces of most meats. His veggies are always hit and miss depending on the day.
