11 Months Old

 Sam, you are 11 months old!

You are such a joy, and you are truly a happy baby.

You took your first 3 steps last night!

It won't be long until I am running after you.

You are into everything. We have to really keep a close eye on you.

You still wear a size 4 diaper.

You are in 12 month clothes.

You still only have 4 teeth.

You like to feed yourself and rarely allow me to spoon feed you anything.

Your most common word is "dada", you also babble that a lot. You have also learned to say "uh-oh".

You have gotten to where you refuse to take a bottle. 

You do better with a straw cup than a sippy cup. Hopefully, the transition to whole milk next month when I wean you will not be too bad.

You love going outside and will even squeal every time I open the back door.

You go after anything that makes noise. If it doesn't make noise, you bang it to make your own.

You also love when Kirksey and I sing you songs.

Proudly ringing the cowbell!

You give good open mouth kisses and great hugs!

You love the swings! I got to take you to the park today just you and mama while Kirksey was at her swimming lesson.

I love spending time with you and getting to see the little personality you are developing.

I can't believe 11 months have already gone by! We love you!
