11 Months Old

Sweet Lukey Bear...you are 11 months old!  Here are your 11 month stats:

• You weigh 22lbs.
• You wear size 12-18 month clothing.  You're wearing size 5 diapers and size 5 shoes.
• You eat 3 meals a day with a snack between lunch and dinner.  You drink around 6 bottles a day of formula.  You're still nursing at night. 
• You have 8 teeth - 4 on top and 4 on bottom.  I think I feel a molar coming in! 
• You are close to walking!  You walk all over the place while holding on to our fingers.  You will let go of things and stand alone for a few seconds.  You've even taken a couple of steps here and there!  It won't be long.
• You are a SUPER FAST crawler!
• You are a happy little guy!  Everyone at your new school talks about how happy you are.  At least once a day someone there tells me that you smile all day long! 
• You love to be with us and you enjoy being held.  You have started giving kisses and occasionally you'll put your arms around my neck and squeeze when I ask for a hug...I'm not positive that it's anything more than coincidence at this point.  :)  Either way...it's so great to get a hug from you!
• You are very vocal and talk a lot!  You were saying "uh-oh", but I haven't heard that in a while.  Now you say "all done"...usually at the end of the meal.  It doesn't sound at all like it should, but we know what you're saying!
• You like to eat and you do so very well, most of the time anyway.  Your favorite foods include:  pasta, chicken, ground turkey, peaches, bread, salmon, pureed fruit, and cheese. 
• You're not the greatest sleeper.  This has been hard on me, I must admit.  Rarely do you sleep the whole night through.  You usually wake up around 12AM.  Often you wake up again around 3AM.  It's been rough, but I just know a breakthrough is right around the corner! 
• You love:  to bang things together, to play in water, to horse around with Cade, the big red car, sippy cups, eating, anything Cade has, getting into the dishwasher and the refrigerator, Cassius.
• We love:  your curls, to hear you talk, your laugh, your sweet smell, watching you crawl around, your happy disposition.
• You don't love:  getting your diaper changed, having your teeth brushed, when Cade takes something from you, when Cade gets something that you don't get to have. 
• You're on the receiving end of at least 100 kisses a day!  We love you sweet Lukey!
