11 months....

Hunter Cole,

...you are 11 months old.

...you weight 18 lbs and 10 oz, i'm not sure how tall you are but you look like you've grown some.

...you are still wearing mostly 6-12 month clothing.  You can wear some 12-18 month shirts.  You are still in a size 3 diaper.

...you still have 6 teeth.  I'm expecting you to get some more any time.  You have been cranky for the past couple of days, so I'm wondering if this is why.

...you are so close to walking.  You took your 1st step on March 23rd.  You have done it a few times since.  You will let go and stand unassisted if you aren't thinking about it.  You just need a little courage and you'll be walking everywhere.  However, I'm not pushing you, as I'm not ready for you to walk yet.

...you are eating 3 meals and day and then you also have snacks at times.  You love veggie cheetos and gold fish.  You will eat almost anything.  You love to try to feed yourself with the spoon and have starting trying to "feed" mommy and daddy.  You will share your food and bottle with us.  We are mostly done nursing.  You will nurse 1-2 times per day, but I think it's more for comfort than anything.  You are on soy milk right now, but I think we may have to change because it seems to be bothering your belly.

...you have turned into quite the shy guy lately.  Anytime anyone (who you don't know) talks to you, you will lay your head on my shoulder.

...you are babbling away.  You said momma for the 1st time on March 28th when we were out to dinner at Wild Wings.  Your other words include: dada, bite, nana, uh-oh, hey, and cole.  You also said peek-a-boo clear as day the other night, but we haven't been able to get you to say it again.

...you had your Easter pictures made this month.  They turned out so good.  You were quite the ham for the camera.  And you loved the bunnies and chicks, however, you weren't very nice to the.  You were constantly pulling on the bunnies ears and picking the chicks up by their wings and head.

...you started sleeping through the night on March 17th.  You slept well for about 1 week and then we had to break your routine.  So for now, we are back to being up 1-2 per night.

...you love to be outside.  If you are fussy, we can usually go outside and you will immediately calm down.  At first, you weren't sure what to think of the grass, so you would't move.  But you've gotten over that and you're crawling everywhere outside now.

...you also love to "ride"...the 4-wheeler, in the jeep, and on the rzr.

...you are quite the momma's boy right now.  You are constantly at my feet and most of the time you want me to hold you.

...you love the itzy bitzy spider and the abc's.

...you are always on the move and HATE when we have to change your diaper.  You get so mad and try to crawl away.
