What's our 11 month old up to these days?





Adam is a little over 11 months now. Time flies! Here's a few things about our boy:

• He is a busy, curious (did I say busy?) boy! It feels like nothing is out of his reach.
• Adam crawls really well, and is FAST! My favorite new thing is chasing him, because now he will "run" from me. He stops to make sure I'm still following, squeals with laughter, then lunges forward to get moving again. It is infectious!
• He now weighs ~19 lbs, 4 ounces and is somewhere around 29 inches long. He wears clothes that are ~9 months (sometimes still 6 months) and a Size 3 diaper.
• Adam loves to eat, and he loves to try anything Mommy and Daddy are eating. He's better with his sippy cup now, though he doesn't care much for juice yet. He has four teeth now.
• His favorite toys are his blocks shape sorter, little singing wheel car thing, ring stacker, singing bear, and wooden spoon. Got all that?
• His motor skills get better every day.
• Adam can get into baskets or drawers and pull out every single thing, or can pull everything off a bookshelf within reach. Need I say more about his motor skills? I didn't even mention that every single thing makes its way into his mouth…well, until now.
• We have had a few pinched fingers in drawers, a few incidences of a bumped head, but lots of fun.
• He loves to clap, blow raspberries, bang on my table with his toys, laugh, play peek-a-boo, and get tickled by Daddy. He loves to watch cars go by and kids play outside.
• He becomes more brave every day, and has been known to let go while standing because he's busy doing something. No steps yet!
• He is a sweet, sweet boy.
