11 Months and counting

Fin-e,

So you are closing in the big 1st birthday. This went so damn fast! You turned 11 months yesterday, and we celebrated as usual, got a babysitter, and me and your dad went out drinking. Ok, so we didn't. You dad is working hard in Philly, and I had an appointment to get a hair cut, so your auntie Jess came over to watch you for 2 hours. Then we gave auntie Jess and you a treat - PIZZA.

This month you learned to LOVE pizza. I had no idea until one night I sat down with a slice and you came barreling towards me, stood up, and put your hand smack down on top of the piece of pizza. It was a proud moment. You are also learning to feed yourself more. Anytime I go to feed you with a spoon, I have to have 2 spoons out. One that you play with and fling food with, and one with that I actually get food into your mouth.

You are starting to make some sounds that are close to words. Just this morning, you said "Done", to tell me you were done with breakfast. I wasn't sure I really heard what I thought I heard, but you pushed your tray away after you said it, so you really did say it. And last night you said "Up" to Jess and raised your arms to be picked up.

Another thing that you do is you make car noises when you play with your toy car. You make a car out of everything - shoes, water bottles, the dogs toys. Bottom line is, you are so smart. You absolutely melt my heart. I continue to believe I am the luckiest mom alive.

Did I mention how quick you are and how you don't like to sit still? Here are some pictures I took trying to get you to hold still.







I love you baby boy.
