At 11 months old Colin...
-wears 12 month and some 18 month clothing
-hasn't had a well checkup lately, but he's weighing around 21-22 pounds these days
-crawls everywhere!
-is into everything...we have had to babyproof everything with cabinet locks, outlet plugs, corner cushions, and a baby gate with a doggie door to keep him out of the dogs' food and water
-understands what "no" means but usually responds by laughing or getting mad and crying and then continuing to do what he isn't supposed to be doing (throwing food, attacking the tomato plant outside, eating dirt, etc.)
-cruising all over the furniture and starting to let go and stand on his own for a few seconds
-eating a good variety of bite-sized foods...chicken, ham, turkey, ground beef, carrots, peas, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cheese, sweet potatoes, blueberries, bananas, strawberries (his favorite!), avocado, kiwi, peaches, and Cheerios
-can wave (sometimes) and give high fives-nursing 4 times a day (morning, after naps, and before bed)
-taking 2 naps a day for a total of about 3 hours on most days
-sleeping 11 hours or so at night
-is a early riser...he wakes up around 6:30am most days and sometimes as early as 5:30. And there's no convincing him to go back to sleep. Once he's awake, he's ready to go! This is a big change for a night owl like me!
-has 6 teeth now (4 on the top and 2 on the bottom)...they have been SLOWLY coming in for a few months now and giving him lots of trouble :(
-loves his pacis! We are attempting to limit it to sleep, church, and the car, but with him being sick and teething lately, he has used it more. He will sleep with one in his mouth and one in each hand...it's so cute! Then he wakes up and starts throwing him out of the crib!
-loves to be outside! We spend a lot of time on the patio under the pergola. He loves to push the ottomans around.
-is his Daddy's BFF! When Mario comes home Colin cries if his Daddy doesn't come straight to him to pick him up! And when he tries to go the bathroom or change clothes, Colin stands at the gate like he's in jail until he comes out! Most mornings before work Mario will come in the nursery and share the bananas from his cereal with Colin and then read The Very Busy Spider to him (his animal noises are a lot better than mine!).
-steals toys from the dogs and thinks it's so funny...he tries to "play" with them, but they usually aren't into it.
-does well in the car now thanks to the DVD player we bought. He loves the movie Shark Tale! It was the only animated movie in our collection and then we tried Curious George and he cried until we put Shark Tale back in! I bought Finding Nemo for him and he seems to like it too, so maybe he only likes fish movies!
This was a long update, but Colin is doing so much these days and I can't believe how much he has learned in the last two months. Don't even get me started on the fact that my baby will be a year old in less than a month! Thanks for reading! :)
Here are a few of the monthly photoshoot pics. It's hard to get good photos these days because he wants to throw the monkey off the chair, stand up, pull the blanket down, etc. He's a mess!
