11 months!

Happy 11 months old to my sweet boy!

Connor, Just one more month till you turn 1 year old!. I'm in denial. How is it that  you are already almost a year old? In a way it seems like it has been a year since I first held you in my arms but you have changed so much and so quickly that I feel like I have missed you being a baby. I replay those moments with you in the hospital over and over again, especially lately.  March 10, 2012 will always be a day I hold close to my heart. I didn't know how much better my life could get until you were born. Now that I am getting all sentimental and teary eyed, here are some things from this month I want to remember.

* You are starting to take steps on your own!! I wouldn't say you are walking just yet but you are SO close. You have taken about 4 steps so far. You are building up your confidence and I bet it wont be long till you are walking all over the place!

*Your LOVE to play with balls and I think it is so cute. You like to roll them and crawl after them and I even see you bang the little ones on the floor like you are trying to bounce them. You also really love your toy vacuum. It is so cute to see you push it back and forth and imitate mommy.

*You love to look at pictures of doggies and kitties and anytime we hear a dog barking or a bird singing you quietly listen and then let out a cute little grunting noise like you are trying to make the same sound or just let me know that you hear them. So cute!

*You are waving and clapping now and anytime  you hear music you start to "dance".

*You have a fascination with daddy's guitar and anytime you see it you go straight to it. I've never seen you move so fast!

*Daddy has become your favorite guy this month. You say dada all the time now and you like to look out the window and wait for him to come home.

*One of your molars is about to pop through your gums and you have handled it so well. I little grumpiness from time to time and sometimes hard to fall asleep but I have been so impressed with how well you deal with the pain of new teeth, and big ones at that!

*You are drinking water from a sippy cup now. I will start to weening you this month. I plan to drop your 3rd feeding and just give you a bigger snack and water during that time. I am kinda sad that my time nursing you is coming to an end. :(

*You continue to be such a good eater. You love almost anything we give you and we have started giving you more meat this month. You love chicken nuggets, little smokies, lunch meat, cheese, peas, pancakes, all fruit, crackers, and raisins to name a few.

*We have spent a lot of time outside the past few weeks and you love playing in the sandbox with sissy and swinging at the park.

*You and sissy are taking baths together in your little baby tub. She prefers to sit in there with you than the big tub and I actually prefer it because the less room there is the less likely you are to slide around.

Little guy, I love you more than you will ever know!! Always remember to snuggle with your momma no matter how big you get, ok? You will always be my baby boy.

xoxo,
mommy
