Eleven Months?! Whaaat?!

Eleven months. Eleven?! How can that be?! Crazy I tell ya, crazy.

Little dude has been on a roll the last few weeks. It feels like we're watching him change before our eyes each and everyday.

Last week he officially started walking. Gone are the long 'free stands' in the middle of the family room, over his Fisher Price barnyard (holding his beloved pig), and beside the kitchen table chairs. Now it's full blown roaming. Jack made the comment a few days ago that it's crazy to see actual walking around the kitchen like it's no big deal. True story.

There have been lots and lots of 'uh ohs'. Lots and lots. It's so gosh darn cute because he's actually using it in context. When he drops is sippy cup from the high chair, when he sees me dropping something while wrangling him up, and when he drops his lamb over the side of the crib. Silly little monkey.

We still are seeing the adorable scrunchy face. I think he know what a rise it gets out of us so he's been hamming it up - and I love it.

I had to make clothes run last week. It seemed like over night he grew out of his 12 mo. gear. His poor pants were too short and his little belly was starting to show in his shirts and tee. I think it's safe to say he has officially moved onto the 18 month wears.

We battled out first ear infection and sinus infection. Boo. Poor little one had to miss three days of school with a fever, running nose and case of the major crankies. First round of antibiotics didn't do the trick so had to bump it up and run with a second higher dose.

His favorite toy the last few weeks has been his barnyard. He loves opening and closing the stalls, putting the animals back in their pins, and dropping the turkey down the silo.

Books have become biggies around the house and at school too. It's so cute to watch him sit down with a pile of specially picked out favs (his picks) and methodically flip through the pages.

Crazy to how fast our little buckaroo is going up.
