Life's Lessons: The 11 Months Edition

It's finally Friday, and I'm linking up with Sara & Rach after a few missed Fridays.  I know how you have missed them my friends!

1) Wow...you just turned 11 months old.  I seriously can't fathom that we are on the countdown of your year birthday.  It seems like yesterday that you were just a little bitty baby who fell asleep on my shoulder.

2) You're about 22 lbs, and I have no idea how tall...maybe 29 inches?  You've definitely slowed down in the height department which has allowed you to chunk up a little bit.  But I don't mind pinching those cheeks!

3) Your new game is to hand everyone what you're holding.  Including your food to the dogs.  Which is slightly annoying, but I guess it's fun to watch your food hit the floor.

4) You love to dance.  Anytime music is on you'll start to boogie.  It's the cutest thing ever.

5) You stand by anything...you don't discriminate...couch, wall, dishwasher...you're an equal opportunity stander.

6) You will catch yourself every now and then standing without holding onto something because you have a toy in your hand.  Then when you realize you quickly plop down on your bottom. 

7) We had a play date yesterday, and you were so funny.  You were trying to talk to the 6 month old and trying to get him to chase you.  I couldn't believe my little baby was now on the brink of toddler hood and ready to play with others.

8) You love your big monkey rug in your room.  I say, "Where is monkey face?"  And you scoot over to go cuddle with it.  It's so sweet!

9) You also love to pull things out of baskets, drawers, or anything that is made to hold items.  It's created more work for mom because you always have blankets, wash cloths, or all the clean laundry out everywhere. 

10) You went on your first beach vacation and had a ball.  You had fun at the beach eating sand and playing at the pool.  You ate all kinds of food...and even tried some seafood which may not be allowed for a 11 month old but you had no problem breaking the rules.

11) You are chatting away with all kinds of new sounds.  You laugh so much besides the times when you take a tumble which have been quite frequently when you are testing your new skills.

12) You love playing a good game of chase.  I say, "Where are you going?" And you take off like a bolt.  You laugh so hard when I chase after you and play peek-a-boo.

12) Happy 11 months baby Nolan...soon to be toddler.  Mommy is having so much fun with you and is trying to savor all these wonderful moments!
