11 months...

Our big boy is just a few weeks shy of the big o.n.e. Here are some things that have been keeping him (and us) busy over the last month.

Loves to say "hug" and give them out. It is so sweet seeing him finally become affectionate.

Likes to say "night night" when he is ready for bed.

Our favorite antic of the last month is him saying "no no" and shaking his head. We laugh every time. Especially when he says it to Sailor as she is trying to make him do something he doesn't want to do.

We got him a stuffed monkey at Build-A-Bear and he adores this thing. He just holds it and hugs it. He even cuddles with him at night. So sweet.

Discovered his throwing arm. Not my favorite new development. Especially when it is graham crackers or tub toys filled with water.

Loves to watch Mommy vacuum. He's lucky. I do it at least twice a day.

Has become a fan of brushing his own hair. Although most of the time the brush is backwards and upside down. But at least he has realized early on the importance of good grooming. And let's face it. The kid has a lot of hair.

Adores bananas. Thinks they are so yummy. He will eat just about anything, but bananas are by far his favorite. Maybe it has something to do with the monkey?

We love you sweet boy.
