11 Months

I can't believe how quickly these last 11 months have flown by. You are your own person now - every day you're showing us more and more of your personality. You are literally the happiest baby I've ever met. You rarely ever cry and usually just get upset if you're trying to tell us something and we aren't understanding. You vocab looks like this:

Nuh-nuh: Nurse or eat food
Dada
Mama
Dit-dee or Titty: Sissy (can be either one)
Hi
Bye bye
Uh oh
Bubba: Solomon
Dog-dog
and probably a few others that I've forgotten.

You're nursing consistently through the night - 10pm, 12am, 3:30am, 5:30am. Sometimes you skip one or two and once you slept all the way from 10pm-5:30am. I felt glorious the next morning. Most of the time, though, you have to eat because you're burning calories cruising the furniture. We gave you a present ahead of time of a walking elephant and you think it's pretty darn cool that you get to move about the house freely. You also love to play the piano with your dad (that's what you're doing as I type this.)

You love food. You LOVE food. You are now eating probably three meals a day, when we sit down, you eat. Cheerios are a common breakfast and then a pouch for lunch. Dinner is whatever we're having. The only food you've turned your nose up to is ham - but after a few tries you ended up liking that, too. You just now got one little tooth. It took it's sweet time coming in. There is another one coming, so hopefully that one will be easier to break through.

We love you more and more each day and can't believe how fast it's gone.
