11 months old

Dear Michael,

You are 11 months old today! One more month until your 1st Birthday! Where did the time go? I often look at you and wonder what happened to my baby boy? How are you growing up so fast?We love to see what a sweet and laid back little guy you are becoming. You are such a happy little guy and continue to just go with the flow. You rarely cry; the only time you get upset is if you are hurt or really tired. You smile all the time and are so happy. Your favorite thing to do this past month is to clap and wave bye-bye. Anytime anyone says, "yay!" you stop what you are doing, smile, and clap. It is so cute!

So Michael Scott, what else are you up to at 11 months old?

You are 30 inches tall and weigh 23 lbs. (just an estimate, we will have official stats next month!)

You wear a size 4 diaper

You wear size 12 months pants and 18 months shirts or onesies seem to fit the best. You do wear a few 12 months shirts still.

You wear a size 4 shoe and you are walking!

You have 3 teeth, bottom two front and top front left. You are teething and the top front right tooth is coming in next

You love to clap and wave bye-bye

You love music and whenever it comes on and you are standing you bend your knees and bounce

You love to play with whatever James is playing with-cars, trains, basketball, puzzles. Sometimes he is very good about sharing and playing with you. Other times he wants you to play somewhere else. He then will pick you up from behind and move you across the room to one of your toys!

You are a wonderful eater. We joke that we haven't found a food that you don't like. Pasta, veggies, and fruit still seem to be your favorites, especially blueberries! You usually start the day with Cherrios. A new favoriter snack is the Natural White Cheddar Cheetos.

You are the best sleeper now. You go to bed between 8:00-8:30 and sleep 11-12 hours! Sometimes you are asleep when Mommy leaves for school and it makes me sad not to see you in the morning but I know you need your rest. Daddy texts Mommy pictures when you wake up and I love to see your sleepy morning smile!

We love you so much Michael Scott and can't wait to see what you do this next month!

Love,
Mommy

December 2009

James-7 months old
This picture was taken exactly 2 years ago today! I was looking back at pictures from December 2009 and James' first Christmas. I can't believe how fast our babies grow up and what a big boy James is now. I LOVE this picture of my baby boy and his sweet smiling face!
