Joey's 11 Month Shots

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS LITTLE GUY IS ALMOST ONE YEAR OLD!

AT ELEVEN MONTHS JOEY:

- TAKES ONE SHORTER AM NAP AND ONE LONG (ALMOST 3 HRS) AFTERNOON NAP

- LOVES, LOVES, LOVES EATING. AMONG HIS FAVORITES - BANANAS, WAFFLES, PEAS, DICED PEACHES, GERBER CRUNCHERS, AND YOGURT.

- DRINKS TWO TO THREE 6 OZ BOTTLES OF FORMULA/DAY

- PULLS UP ON EVERY OBJECT IN THE HOUSE.

- SUCCESSFULLY CLIMBS THE FIRST STEP OF THE STAIRCASE. I'M THANKFUL HE CONTINUES TO STOP THERE.

- ENJOYS WATCHING DORA THE EXPLORER WITH CHARLOTTE

- CLAPS, DANCES TO MUSIC AND WAVES "HI" AND "BYE"

- LOVES PLAYING "CHASE" WITH BIG SISTER

- NO LONGER GIVES UP TOYS WITHOUT A LITTLE FIGHT. (WE KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME...WATCH OUT, CHARLOTTE!)

- LOVES INTERACTING (AKA FLIRTING) WITH THE LADIES

- MAKES THE FOLLOWING SOUNDS - "DA DA" "MA MA" "GO" "GA" "BA BA" "HA"

- CONTINUES TO USE AND APPRECIATE HIS PACIFIER

- CRAWLS SPEEDILY ACROSS THE FLOOR, WITH FEW, CAUTIOUS ATTEMPTS AT WALKING

- LIGHTS UP WHEN HIS FATHER COMES HOME AND LOOKS UP AT HIM WITH A LOOK OF AWE AND ADORATION

- CONTINUES TO BE A "MAMA'S BOY"

- LOVES BEING IN HIS SISTER'S PRESENCE

I NO LONGER ATTEMPT TO PUT THE HAT ON THIS BOY.

ONE OF HIS NEW TRICKS.
HIS SISTER DID THIS LONG BEFORE HE DID AS A BABY. I THINK HE SECRETLY WANTED THE EXTRA ALONE TIME WITH ME.

THOSE BABY BLUES CONTINUE TO MELT HEARTS AROUND MADISON.

A NEW FAVORITE TOY - A TOY PLANE (OUR GIFT FROM FLORIDA TRAVELS)
