Month 11

Apologies for my silence. I've been tring to soak up as much of the last bit of my baby's first year. Plus it's warmed up outside so we've been getting out more and enjoying our time together.

It is the eve of CT's First Birthday and there is so much to share of his life from the past 6 weeks. I'll try to sum it all up in bullets and pictures.

The week before memorial day weekend we were briefly sidetracked by what I thought was teething, but turned out to be an ear infection. Only to be better a few days later when we had to go back to the clinic to have a rash looked at. Four day - 2 trips to the clinic. Good times.

Swimming at the pool

Playing in the dog water dish

Crawling crazy fast

Crawling up the steps over and over

Drinking bath water

Drinking pool water

Experimenting with new silly faces

Finger dipping in the toilet bowland dog water dish

Torturing Tucker

Giggling at Sugar's kisses

Dancing

Reaching for his favorite books, sitting still and quiet while being read to and giggling along at the funny parts.

Waving

Giving kisses

Fetching the dog bones and parading around the house with one in each hand

Playing hide and seek in the curtains

Watching Baby.Einstein videos. Quietly while sitting still.

Cutting two top teeth

Saying Tuck (we think). Not saying much else

Shaking his head when we say No

Standing on his own

Growing a full head of wild blonde hair that is soft and angelic.

Reusing baby food

Eating big people food: Current loves green beans, cottage cheese, biter biscuits and of course, puffy sticks. He even yelled at me one day for not sharing my granola bar with him

CT is SO much fun these days. He is exhausting. Constantly on the move. Getting into everything. He is persistant and stubborn. And he knows how to use his adorable good looks and voice to get what he wants.

Teeth Count: 4

Up next? A Big Boy 1st Birthday Party and swimming lessons in July.
