11 months!

This time last year, we had just had our last baby shower and were getting together all the last minute preparations for the arrival of baby Carter!  Here is my line of every month...can't believe it has almost been a year since Carter entered our lives.

Yes I know his hair is looking quite shaggy, but bad luck to cut it before he is a year old!

Things to Rember about Carter at 11 months:
-The kid will eat ANYTHING!  Well almost anything, for some reason he is not into eggs.  Anything else is in his belly.  His favorites right now are Mexican (particularly beans, rice and guacamole all mixed together), oranges, yogurt, broccoli, shrimp, cheese
-Off bottles for good! He is an all sippy cup man now.
-Can stand by himself for a long time, attempts to make a step and then looses his balance.  He also likes to just launch himself in the direction he wishes to go.  Take as long as you like to walk Carter, mommy and daddy are in no hurry!
-Mixture of crawling on his knees and belly.  If he needs to go fast, he goes on his belly.
-Favorite toys:  This soft puppy that is one of those fold up pillows with a blanket inside, he loves to snuggle with it, pots and pans, his push walker thingy, anything with music, books (!!!!)
-A little attitude is emerging!  When you take something away from him, almost always a few seconds of sceaming will follow.
-Saying dada, momma, and hi, not very consistent on any of them, but they come out clearly a lot.  He is really weird in he will say something for days and then he just stops, and then starts again.  Emerging language skills!


Here is a video to show how difficult it is to capture one picture of him sitting in the chair
