11 month Birthday Post!!!

Dennis wheeled Daniel around today, take a peek at this video after you read about his 11 month of life!

Daniel riding in the wheelbarrow on a chilly December Sunday!

WOW!!!!!!!!! Daniel is 1 month away from being a FULL YEAR OLD! WHERE HAS THIS LAST YEAR GONE?!?!?!?!?

Our baby in a word: Adventurous!

Some neat things he is doing:

• he has finally abandoned the “army crawl” and is finally now crawling like a normal human child.
• babbles using many different sounds and expressions
• grinds his top teeth to his bottom teeth
• throws his paci down when he is up and wants out of his crib
• likes to take a bath.
• loves the bathroom, that is place of choice when he gets down on the ground to crawl
• we joke that he does all things with his index finger.
• hates oatmeal and cut up banana. He will push the spoon away and turn his head.
• starting to chew with his front teeth.
• LOVES his daddy! he likes to be held and to play with him.
• LOVES strangers- yet is shy if they approach him before he is ready. He will burrow his head into my chest if someone speaks to him.
• is going through some separation issues. He doesn’t want anyone to hold him but me or Dennis. He will allow me to leave the nursery at church without too much of a problem.
• can “dance”.
• kisses on command.
• he listens well when we say “no” (and we say it a lot)
• he gets his hand spanked when he does not listen
• he likes to be “chased” when he crawls. he squeals, it’s so cute
• he stands up on his own
• he cruises the furniture

Eating Schedule:

The 11th month has brought THREE meals a day, and more than one food at each sitting. He is loving it!

Sleeping:

He wakes between 6-7am.

Morning nap: wake time til around 9:30 or 10am

afternoon nap: 12:30-3:30 p.m.

Bedtime at 7:30 p.m.

Clothes size: 12 months

Diaper size: 3

Weight: 19 pounds+ (I have been guessing for months that he was at the 20 pound mark, but I have been way off in my estimations)

He is between the 25-50 percentiles in height and weight.

 

Yes, that is a mitten on his feet. (He lost his shoe, so we improvised)

THIS is my sweet baby boy trying to pull on his ear that has been bothering him for weeks. :-(

Happy 11th month, Daniel. Maybe my next post will have you walking.. :- )
