11 Months Old

Sorry this update is a little late. We have been staying busy chasing Hallister. Our little boy is growing so fast. He has attempted walking by stepping from the coffee table to the couch, or from his stand-up toy to us. When he crawls it is very fast. He loves to sit in the dog beds and jump from one to the other, when the dogs aren't in them. We have introduced whole milk by doing 1/3 milk, 2/3 formula. He has taken it well. The nurse warned it may be hard for him to poop and it has, but it is easier clean up being just solid. Now that he signs diaper change that helps us know, if he starts crying, he is having trouble pooping. Getting hungry? Hallister likes his vegetables. He eats baby food twice a day, loves his water, and is doing well drinking from a straw. He does not like chicken noodle or turkey dinner. He still does his sign for "more". For snacks he enjoys mum-mums and cheerios. Hallister crosses his legs while drinking his bottle, when he is in the stroller out for a walk, and even when he plays with a toy standing up he will put one foot up on the other. It is very cute. As I mentioned he crawls very fast, well he beat me to the dog food and managed to down a piece. He didn't seem to mind it. Of course I had just poured left over chicken broth on it so that is probably why. In addition to saying "Dadada" he finally added to his vocabulary last week "Momma" and reached out for me. It was precious. We are enjoying watching him grow and learn and look forward to the day when he walks up to us.
