You turned 11 months old! This past month Mommy slacked though. Even though I have taken notes like usual throughout the month, I did not take your 11 month picture...or type this up when you actually turned 11 months. To be honest, your birthday is next week....I know, I know, Mommy is a slacker this month. However, I can tell you of all the changes that DID happen over the motnh!
-You absolutely love Roosevelt now. You two are best friends. He even likes to sit on you :) We are still trying to teach him not to bite though. You also love dog toys more than baby toys. Roosevelt has this giant orange pacifier dog toy and that one is by far your favorite. Apparently we just needed to get you a puppy binky instead of a human binky :)
-Speaking of toys, to be honest, you really don't have many baby toys. You mostly play with Trenton's cars and toys more than you play with the little amount of baby toys we do have.
-Also, I have no idea what I'm going to get you for your birthday...! Second child problems....sorry kid. Look at this way, your (future) younger siblings will still have it worse than you.
-You learned how to crawl on your knees this month!! Trenton loves crawling with you and teaching you things while crawling
-You finally started to pull yourself up a lot more too! Not really cruising, but it's getting easier to pull up on furniture.
-You've been saying the syllables of "mama" and "dada" for awhile now, but you've stopped saying dada as often. You do however, say mam when you are mad.
-All you eat is toast. Seriously. Eating is horrible. You eat a lot, but your diet mostly consists of toast, veggie sticks, and grapes. At least you have the grapes going for you.
-You are going to be our little drama baby though! You are so over-the-top too. When you get mad you will throw yourself down starting with your head and letting the rest of your body fall. If we are holding you, you turn into a limp noodle at the same time. And don't get me started on food...
-Whenever we try and offer you food, you dramatically turn your head to the side out of disgust and close your eyes very slowly. We've (mostly me) have decided you are just like Daddy though. You won't do anything unless it is your idea. Take food for example. You have to inspect every piece of food and then you will decide when and how you will eat. Naturally, Daddy denies your stubborn connection :)
-We also took our first road trip as a family of four! We went to go visit my great aunt Sue Sue in Colorado! It was a very long drive but you have slowly been getting better in the car. We also borrowed a DVD system so I like to think that helped a little bit. It definitely did for your brother! Aunt Sue Sue just fell in love with you both and Mommy and Daddy fell in love with Colorado Springs. Who knows, maybe our next move will be there!
Even though I didn't get your official 11 month photo, we still of course took tons of photos throughout the month!
I love you my sweet, sweet baby! I cannot believe you are going to be a big one year old toddler soon!
On West family road trips we have picnic lunches in random fast food parking lot grass patches :)
We went for a little minutes hike through some beautiful giant rock formations
Aunt Sue Sue took you to an arcade and you both had lots of fun playing on the rides. Every city should have a cheap arcade like this
Smile with Aunt Sue Sue!
In Colorado Springs, they had Mommy's favorite coffee shop AND smoothie shop! Two more reasons why we loved it there
We drove to the top of Pike's Peak! Here we are at a lake toward the bottom/middle of the mountain. (You had an explosion in the car while driving. So yes, you were naked in this picture)
Me and my naked boy :)
We made it! 14,110 feet elevation and we could barely breathe, the air was so thin. But it was absolutely gorgeous up there
You and your puppy!
One cool dude
Sometmes Monday mornings are rough....That crazy hair is proof
