- Man, are you a busy boy! You are so active- speed crawling, cruising along furniture, walking with push toys. You're everywhere and you are getting FAST! You have even taken an occasional baby step. I'll be totally surprised if you are not walking by your 11 month birthday. You are also finding ways to protest getting into your car seat as well as thinking it's fun to stand in the bathtub.
- Food- you love anything that comes remotely close to your mouth. Your true loves are cheese (those are the Birnbaum genes in you) and cheerios. You'll eat really any fruits and vegetables and are slowly but surely coming around on different meats. You still love breast milk, either straight from the tap or in a bottle. You are doing great with a sippy cup. At school you occasionally don't want to finish you milk in a bottle but you will finish it in the sippy cup. It's like you just want to be "big" or something. :)
- You continue to be a good sleeper. You will occasionally fight going to sleep or may wake in the night. This really only seems to happen around the time you meet milestones or when you aren't feeling very well. You usually take 1-2 naps per day. Please continue to keep this up well into your toddler years!
- Man, are you a funny boy! Your personality has really taken off in the past month. You will do anything and make sure you have our attention in doing so. You'll fake cough, crawl over and wrestle us, and you've recently started making animal noises.
- You are still saying "mama" and "dada". Over the weekend we believe we heard you say "quack-quack" while holding your rubber duck. You will sign for "more", "please", "all done", "milk", and will wave "bye-bye" (although it kind of looks like you're signing for milk). Just watching you learn and gain more knowledge is such a joy.
- You are just sweet as pie. You love to snuggle (mostly when you're tired) and will greet us at daycare pick up with a big hug and full of excitement. The highlight of my day is truly when I get to pick you up. You'll crawl over to me as fast as humanly possible, pull on my pant leg until I pick you up, and then give me the biggest hug imaginable. It is truly the sweetest and best feeling as your momma.
- You have a few new favorite games- 1.) You will crawl over to the curtains in the den and wedge yourself between them and the door. You will then peek around them to see if I'm looking at you and wait for me to say "peed-a-boo" so you can poke your head out. A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. 2.) You love you ball popper toy. So much so that you have started experimenting if your rubber ducks will pop out the same way as the balls. Too funny!
- You currently have 6 teeth and are on the verge of getting tooth #7. I don't blame you when you're crabby while teething. I'd be crabby too if I got all 4 top front teeth at once.
James, you are truly the best gift from God that we have ever received. You bring absolute joy to our days, smiles to our faces, and so much love in our hearts. We could not imagine our life without a blessing such as you. We pray that you continue to be a happy boy! We love you to the moon and back!
