11 months

My sweet boy turned 11 months on August 29th.
(I know I am late posting this, but the pictures are from the actual day)

Our love for this tiny human grows every.single.day!

 And he just has the cutest personality these days!

Some things about Hudson Lindley at 11 months:

-Wearing 12 months clothes now, the 9 months are officially too short. Still in size 3 diapers

-Taking 4 6-7oz bottles a day.

We are about the start the whole milk and milk sippy transition... fun times ahead, I'm sure.

-I have started to introduce more food, and he is starting to become a picky eater. And if he doesn't like something, he will swat at it or throw it off the highchair to Riley.

This month we tried: grits, raviolis, mac and cheese, big boy cheetos, and broccoli.

If he seems not to like it, I resort to trickery and sneak it in his yogurt or go back and forth.

He is still a baby that loves his carbs and string cheese. And the baby goldfish have saved us/prevented a few meltdowns. Still not loving solid fruits, so we also have a baby yogurt or apple sauce almost every night. He loves that stuff!

-Sleeping like a champ, sometimes 13 hours a night.

(I hate to even mention sleep bc I don't want to jinx it)

-He is into EVERYTHING!

We baby proofed last night bc his new thing is the open all the cabinets he can reach. And that baby has already gotten his fingers. He loves the door stopper thing, you know the thing that prevents the door from slamming into the wall? Yeah, my child could play with that for several minutes (which is like big people hours for babies) Our living/family room looks like a complete disaster bc he just throws stuff around.

-He is cruising everywhere and can stand without holding on for about 30 seconds. He loves to walk with his wooden walker and the table.

-He has started to play with his baby friends. Its fun to watch him interact with Carson and Claire.

Serious playdates are to come!

-The frat boy swoop. Wow! His hair is getting so so long.

And I know its time for a baby trim. Literally just a few snips. But I am just not mentally ready for this baby to get a haircut. It gets in his eyes, so it will happen before the end of the month

-Still loves his momma! But starting to pay more attention to his daddy! And, of course, Joey is eating it up!

-His language is improving. Still saying bababababa. But has started saying MaMa this week (and not just when he's upset) and he said DaDa this weekend (I didn't hear it, so it really hasn't happened yet)

-He can clap his hands and wave byebye. He gets so so excited when he does it! We are working on patty cake

-He loves a photo opportunity and will smile so big with that open mouth! (see below)

He is just our little angel of the world and we could not imagine life without him!

He won't stay still

Standing like a big boy!

At the end of the month is the big 12 months and the big birthday party!

We will celebrate both on the same day!
