Paxton's 11th Month

 

 

• Weighs 21.4 lbs (45%)
• lots of blond hair- mostly on the back of his head :)
• BLUE eyes

• Pulling up on everything
• Cruising some
• bending down to pick something up (while holding onto something with the other hand of course) and then standing up again
• Saying "dat!" while he points at stuff- we think he is saying "that" as in "what's that?", something we say to him often
• Has to be a part of everything daddy and Rowen are doing; his feelings are hurt easily if he is not included :(
• Super crazy about daddy in general; wants daddy to carry him around and cries when he leaves the room
• Stopped  nursing at about 11 1/2 months
• teething like crazy! 2 teeth on bottom and one through on the top but 3 more coming in on the top right now!
• very active, explores the house and toys and every nook and cranny all day long!
• sleeping great- usually from about 7:30 to about 7 a.m. (with a few early wakes up each week which throw me off completely!)
• wearing 12 month and 12-18 month clothing
• says "uh oh" in his own way- kind of like a hum
• still growls often, points at most animals and growls, has growling contests with big brother
• is trying to make animal sounds- most animals make the same sound- "hmm hmm" but a cow gets one long "hmmmmmm"
• went camping twice and did pretty well sleeping in the pop up camper
• loves the water- very comfortable with it
• bear crawls when on grass or concrete to keep his knees from touching the ground
• gives open mouth, wet, slobbery kisses
• dances to music every day

Paxton,
You blow me away each and every day with your precious smiles and playfulness. I love and adore everything about you!
Love, Mama
