Happy 11 months my sweet baby boy!
His stats (approx)
Weight: 21 lbs
Height: 28 inches
- Daniel has officially mastered crawling on his hands and knees. (I call it official because I haven't seen him army crawl for a couple weeks) He's been able to do if for a few months now but he just didn't want to do it. He would do it a bit then just drop to his belly and then just pull himself up onto something. Now he is crawling everywhere! He is getting really good at walking along furniture and walls too.
- He has 5 teeth officially: 2 on top and 3 on the bottom! Teething has been my least favorite part of parenting so far.
- He is still such a happy boy. He loves to play and explore and as long as he isn't hungry or tired then he is pretty content to sit and play and crawl around the apartment looking to see what he can get into that he shouldn't :)
- Dan is an awesome eater! He's had black beans, bread, pinto beans, rice, ham and yogurt. So far he likes just about everything (although black beans aren't his favorite) and he is getting better at picking food up on his own. He still has no desire to hold his sippy cup though. I'm hoping that the more practice we give him the more he'll like it.
- Dan loves to read books! We read books every night but I find him in his room reading books almost everyday. I love reading and it makes me so happy to see him reading.
- He also loves to go outside so we go for lots of walks in his stroller. Since he doesn't like the grass too much, we sometimes go outside but he has to have a blanket. I've never seen him sit as still as he does outside to avoid the grass. Maybe we should get grass to put around things we don't want him to touch..hmmm
- We also got rid of the swaddle this month. It was kind of out of necessity and kind of that he was getting tired of it. I think he would've lasted a bit longer but we've been going to other people's houses during nap and bed time and so swaddling wasn't always an option. He transitioned pretty well though. We've had a couple rough nights and he still cries out during the night a few nights a week but he's able to calm himself back down and get to sleep on his own which is great! He's going to bed around 8:30 and waking up between 7:30 and 8 most mornings so he's great.
- He's down to just 2 long naps a day now. He'll usually sleep for an hour and a half in the morning and then another 2 hours or so in the afternoon which is awesome!
- Daniel is wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes and since he's getting a little taller his pants aren't so long and fit better.
I can't believe my baby is going to be 1 in just a few weeks! I feel like he was just born yesterday! One thing is for sure...I can't imagine our family without him. He is so sweet and has the best smile that can cheer anyone up and laughs at everything. He is so curious and strong. We love you so much Dan!
