MGM-11 Months Old

He likes anything with wheels!

Look at that pretty round head!

Makes.me.smile.each.and.every.day!

Look at that belly.

Long and slender.

Mommy's little over achiever. ;) Love this baby Gap onesie I found online!

Wow, here we are the post before the BIG ONE YEAR post! WOW! Kids make time fly! Seriously just like today I am not sure where it has went! I so want to take in every minute of their babyhood, but now we are getting ready to enter toddler hood....WHOA! I love have a little baby on my hip! I don't mind changing diapers or buying baby stuff! Don't get me wrong, they are EXPENSIVE, but I just love being a mommy and all of the stuff that comes along with it....EXCEPT the less amount of sleep you get! ;)

On to my boy, yes, he turned 11 MONTHS OLD on April 13!!! And he is WALKING 4/22! Oh yeah! He will occasionally crawl, but prefers to walk. While my mom was here he got lots of extra hand held walking and has only gotten stronger and stronger each day and more stable. It has been amazing to see the difference in him. He loves it too! He tries to run. He also started saying UH Oh! He loves to play the Uh oh game and drop something and have you pick it up 4/5. His two bottom teeth have popped through 4/15. He says Awwwww 4/18. Says La, La, La with tongue 4/19. He is wearing 12 month clothes, going into a size 4 shoe, size 4 diaper and at the moment doesn't care to wear shoes. He is taking about 3 full formula bottles a day with mostly table food...he does really like baby food fruits so of course still buys him what he likes, but he does eat table fruit too! ;) His fav table fruit is mandarin oranges, blueberries, and grapes. He really likes meat, pasta and rice. It is funny to see him walk around and carry toys with him or socks or whatever he can grab He still enjoys is bink, paci, soothie.....I still haven't come up with one word for it, but I do kinda like the sound of bink! :) I figure I will take that away after he turns one year sometime after we work on taking the bottle away first.

I have to just boast a minute and say I am so happy with my little family! I have a sweet, bright, active daughter and a happy, sweet son and a wonderful, hard working and loving husband and I can't forget my two fur babies who do so good with the babies...I.AM.BLESSED! :)

To my son,

My dear boy--I love you so! You have such a sweet demeanor about you. You are always laughing or smiling about something. You think everything is funny. You do something new every day and are growing TOO FAST! I enjoy cuddling you and giving you a bottle, BUT I miss breastfeeding you so much. I know it is time to move on to real milk soon anyway...you are already taking a few ounces already...but I miss that with you just as I did with your big sis. You hate to have your diaper changed these days so bad, I have to distract you. Now, that your BIG 1st BIRTHDAY is SOON, I am busy planning your first birthday photo (smash cake photo!) and your party....Let's Dig Up Some Fun...Mason's Turning ONE!!! That's right little boy, Mommy is planning you a fab Construction day just for you....and oh, yes, there will be ice cream...your fav....you can count on it! You were lactose intolerant for the first 6 months of you life, just like your daddy was when he was little, so you are making up for it now! LOL!

Lots of Love,

Mommy :)
