Eleven Months Old!

Yes, I’m falling a bit behind on my posts, apparently keeping up with an eleven month old has taken more out of me than I thought! That’s right, I said an ELEVEN month old, where does the time go?? Josiah is busier than ever, he has mastered pulling up to things and scooting along the furniture to get to whatever he wants. In the past few days, he has even begun letting go and standing on his own for a few seconds until he realizes he is doing it and then he promptly sits down:-) He now has 5.5 teeth…the 0.5 is for the 6th tooth that is a-l-m-o-s-t through! He has developed a bit of defiance this month and utilizes his screaming and squealing “skills” to let us know if he’s unhappy with the situation at hand. We are working on teaching him signs to help with some of his frustration and hope that the babbling quickly turns to some words so the screaming can go bye-bye! He says “Mmmm” when he eats or when he’s hungry so at least we have that:-) Yesterday when I asked him who was coming in the living room (Seth), he said “dada”….adorable:-) He has decided that baby food is for the birds so we have moved on to almost all “big boy” food. The trick is that he doesn’t eat too much, just likes to poke it with his finger and smear it around on the tray…hmmm….so his bottle consumption has gone up slightly to compensate in the meantime. Last night he had potatoes and mac-n-cheese and loved both! Can you have all carbs and call it a meal? I say yes…and Josiah whole-heartedly agrees:-) We have been fully enjoying the beautiful weather and our fabulous play/swingset, what a great addition to the yard! We are looking forward to adding a slide soon, imagine the fun then! Hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the summer! I will be catching up on a few overdue posts in the next few days so stay tuned:-) Here are Josiah’s 11 month pictures, we went with the beach theme this month:
