11 Months Old

How old? 11 Months
Total Weight:  about  22 lbs.
Length:  30”
Eating:  Anything in sight!   
Sleep: Napping like a champ twice a day.  Sleeping a solid 11 hours at night WOOHOO!
Fun Facts:  He loves to throw a ball!  Anything round is a “baw”


Ok I may be a little sad that this is my final "monthly" post!  I seriously cannot believe that in just 3 weeks my little baby will be a ONE YEAR OLD!!! What in the world has happened to all of the time.  Each month he has seemed to grow up so quickly.  When I look at him I don't see a baby anymore, I see a little boy!  I surely do miss those tiny baby cuddles, but man is he so much fun as a little toddler!

Dawson is really beginning to love being outdoors.  He absolutely loves to go on walks and swinging.  I can only pray he will love the pool as much as he loves everything else !!  I think he would love it if he could just get down and walk anywhere he wants, but we aren't quite there yet. He is so close to walking.  He is letting go and taking several steps, but hasn't quite gotten the confidence to continually walk.  He can walk like a pro if he is holding onto just one of my fingers.  I think soon he will be taking off. 
 
As we know he loves to eat.  He is quite the little booger at dinner time.  He will do pretty much anything to get Mommy and Daddy to laugh at him.  He has finally figured out if Mommy is trying to feed him something different than what we are eating.  That doesn't seem to go over very well.  He is in the middle of transitioning from bottles to a sippy cup, as well as from formula to whole milk.  I am still a little sad that I wasn't able to breastfeed for 12 months, but I think that he has felt so much better since we made the switch.  He has done incredibly well taking to the sippy cup and milk!  Pretty soon he will be totally weaned and my bank account will be grateful! :)
 
 
 
Dawson, Mommy and Daddy are so happy to have had the past 11 months with you and cannot wait to watch you grow in the many more to come.  You light up each day with that precious smile and words cannot describe how much you mean to us! 
Mothers Day with my boy!
