Happy 11 month birthday to our monster boy. You are becoming more and more willing to try new things like standing without holding on to something and taking on slides and stairs. After countless falls, you’ve mastered going DOWN the steps. You’re still working on standing alone, but have interest in it now. You enjoy throwing things (with your left arm), standing up in the stroller, and turning wheels. Eating anything and everything (especially tomatoes) is your other favorite pastime. You’re now mimicking us when we point to things. We spent a lot of the last month in the pool, and you think it’s funny to blow bubbles and spit water. Pretty much, you love laughing – especially with/at your sister. Speaking of her, you two continue to become better playmates. It’s a pleasure watching you grow and learn. Mommy, Daddy, and Adelaide love you!
