Wordless Wednesday

Ok, a couple words: He's too big for the jumperoo, so we made it into a fort. I don't know who liked it more, D or Leo!

Ssshhhh

Today I decided to swing past the library on our way home from work/school. I knew it wasn't the best idea, because by the time I picked up Dean it was Almost time to eat, but I figured with the help of some Cheerios (I LOVE my little Cheerios container, by the way, don't know how I lived without it!) that we'd be ok. Instead of going to the big library we went to the little, cute, downtown library (little + cute = very quiet!). I tried to look quickly for a book that would fit in my giant mommy purse, but my new "wobbler" didn't like being carried. (And he doesn't understand Shh) When I stood him on the floor, however, he wanted to pull all the books off the shelf. SO we headed downstairs to the children's area, where Dean found a new toy (and a book or two).

Then tonight, after reading Strega Nona about 3 times, he was asleep by 8! Miraculous!

11 Months!

My baby boy is 11 months old now! (He's not such a baby anymore)

At 11 months he:

• Loves to eat whatever I am eating, as long as it is off my fork.
• Will still eat some baby food if he has a spoon to play with simultaneously.

• Had his first taste of formula yesterday, and didn't like it at all.
• LOVES to walk everywhere, but still likes to hang on to our hands.

• Likes to play catch with anything (cat toys, socks).
• Is quite a mama's boy.
• Wears size 4 diapers, and clothes from 12-24 months, depending on the brand.
• Likes to practice standing, going from standing to sitting, standing to walking etc.
• Says mamamamama when he is hungry (I think that is why at least)
• Says dadadadadada when he is annoyed
• Says uh-oh when he drops things on the ground.
• Still loves to play peek-a-boo, but will now initiate a game.
• Loves to swing.
• Likes to splash & play with his toys in the tub.
• Laughs whenever he sees the kitties, and tries to grab their tails.
• Hates to go to sleep because he might miss something.

Walking!!!

D has recently started walking on his own, so last night when we got home from the circus, he just had to show off for grandma and grandpa! (and mommy & dad)

(This is why I shouldn't have a video camera & I'm sorry it's on it's side!)

Wordless (almost) Wednesday

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! Today Dean got to spend a fun morning with his Grammy & Grampy who came down from up north. We had breakfast together, D was not thrilled with his oatmeal, but he enjoyed several bites of my waffle! G & G stayed at a hotel with a pool so D, Grammy & I went swimming (Dad & Grampy were the paparazzi). Grammy brought D a little floaty, he loved to float around and kick with mommy. After we had a long swim with lots of splashing & kicking we went back to the hotel room & D showed off his new walking skills. He is still fairly wobbly, but he took about 6 steps without assistance between my dad and I.
