What Ben's been up to at 11 months:
- Loves to climb up on anything and everything. Bath nights he makes a beeline to Jim's bed and climbs up on that. (He uses the stool to climb up).
- Can't leave the gates / open even for a second. It's like he can hear if we go upstairs and forget to shut the gate....in 2.2 seconds he's over to the stairs climbing up! The other day I was making breakfast, and I come out to check on the boys, look in the family room - Jim's sitting on the couch watching Super Why...Look in the playroom - No Ben...look up the stairs, and there he is smiling at the top!
- Is still loving to eat anything and everything! He's such a great eater. I don't think we've found a food he doesn't like.
- Has 8 teeth now...4 on top & 4 on the bottom. I'm thinking maybe he's starting to get his next top teeth. He's constantly chewing on his fingers (a lot more than normal) and lots of drool. Only time will tell.
- Wearing size 4 diapers...and 12 month clothes. Need warmer weather to switch him into 18 month clothes...
- According to our scale at home he's 21 pounds.
- Still wouldn't call him an 'official' walker. He was sick for a couple of weeks and really didn't do any walking then, so there was no practicing. He'll take steps on his own, but it's still usually only between Mark & I. I'll call him an 'official' walker when he doesn't need us as an end point. It won't be long.
- The last couple of weeks were a little rough health wise - first he had a nasty cold - a runny nose, cough, just looked very sad. And then he got over that and then was hit with a stomach bug. But he's back to his healthy happy self!
And with that I'll leave you with his 11 month pictures. He's been great letting me take them!! Although he is very curious as to what I put on his shirt...
