Will - 11 Months

Happy 11 Months Old Will!

Picture time = IMPOSSIBLE!But check out all of these teeth!

This kid is such a joy and gets more fun each day! He has his moments of fussiness, but for the most part he s pretty happy. He is getting to be a little more clingy to me than before and screams like crazy if I put him down when he was wanting to be held. It's just part of it I guess. This usually happens when he is tired, so I take him straight to his crib when he does this and eventually he calms down and sleeps.

Food:
He is getting more adult table food now, especially if there is a grandparent around. He likes pretty much anything then, but if it comes from a baby food container he does not it want it to be textured. He loves bread. We give him pieces of our bagel, waffle, roll, etc. Even Hope has realized that she must share if she takes him out to lunch to eliminate the chance of Will causing a scene.

Toys:
Nothing really new. He still plays with his ball pit and can kind of throw the balls in the air. He know that if he rolls it down the hall that Maggie will go get it and bring it back. This is the beginning of fetch for them, and Will thinks it is hilarious! We have been to the park and he likes to swing. He is still trying to decide if he likes the slide or not.

Mobility:
I really thought he would be walking by now, but he is still just cruising. He doesn't really have any interest in letting go. Fine by me! Chasing a crawling Will around the house is hard enough! He is really good at coming down stairs or getting off of furniture. I don't know how he learned of depth perception, but he turns around when he gets to an edge and scoots down backwards. Smart kid! (and less chance of injury - thank goodness!)

He notices airplanes flying over our house. Once we point them out to him, he looks up and puts his arm up towards it. He gets lots of practice since planes fly over all day long.

He is starting wave to people, mostly bye-bye. It is the cute backwards wave now where his hand open and closes towards himself. Adorable!

I can't believe my next monthly post will be for my 1 year old!
