11 Months Old!

 

 

Sweet Baby Cade, you are 11 months old!  You are truly SO MUCH FUN these days and oh so active!  Here's a little more about you at 11 months:

• You weight 21lbs., 4 oz. (according to our bathroom scale).
• You wear size 12 month and some 18 month clothing with size 5 shoe.
• You wear size 3 diapers during the day and 4 at night.
• You are a great sleeper!  You go to bed at 7:45 and wake up around 6:15 during the week, but you'll sleep until 8 or so on the weekends. You take two naps a day (one at 9 and one at 1:30) for about an hour to an hour and a half each. 
• You eat 3 meals a day with a snack between lunch and dinner.  You also drink 5 bottles a day.
• You love to eat and you will eat just about everything we give you.  The only thing you don't really seem to care for are peas. 
• You LOVE your bottles (which is a little worrisome considering this is your last month for them)!  When you see one, you whine until we give it to you. 
• You pull up on anything and everything possible and you've started to cruise a bit. 
• You are a very busy little man - into everything, slithering all over the house, grabbing anything within your reach, banging things together, throwing things, ripping things, it makes me tired just thinking about it! 
• You don't really seem to have a favorite toy at the moment, but you become attached to various things while you're playing and want to hold on to them for a while.  Last night it was a marker, you held on to it for like 20 minutes while you pulled up on things and played with toys. 
• You love to drop/throw things and then go after them.  When you're standing at the coffee table you like to drop all of the coasters and then pick them back up and do it again.  When I'm holding you you like to grab something, throw it, and have me lean you over so you can pick it up, only to throw it back down within seconds.  In the bathtub you like to throw your toys out and then attempt to go look for them. 
• You are very chatty!  I'm not convinced that you know any actual words, but sometimes you do seem to be attempting to say things.  You still say Daddy, but don't seem to understand what it means.  Today you were holding a phone to your ear and saying "Ha".  ???? 
• I think you might know the sign for "all done".  Towards the end of a meal you throw your arms up and move them up and down...I can't figure out if you're giving me the sign or just playing. 
• You're still a very happy, easy-going little guy that we love more and more each day!
