11 Months

Baker turned 11 months old last Wednesday, December 7th
Weight: 24.8 lbs (unofficial bathroom scale)
Eating: Baby oatmeal with apple sauce added for breakfast and finger foods for everything else. He has a bottle with every meal and for "snack" to get all the calories he's suppose to be having and I'm not sure how dropping the bottle will work at the end of this month. He will drink water out of a sippy cup but when it has formula in it he just spits it out.
Fun Things: Does SOME things when you ask him to, like when you say "can you wave" or "give mommy a kiss" he will do it a lot of the time. HOWEVER. When you say "don't touch the TV" he turns around smiles and touches the TV.
He stands for really long periods of time without touch anything. Squats down and stands back up without touching anything.
Says dadada, dut, bababa, and a lot of jibber jabber, roger swears he says duck in the bathtub but i haven't heard it yet,... does not even kind of say mama.
LOVES a book. No matter what he is doing if you say "do you want to read a book" he stops doing that (even if its touching the TV) and crawls over to where you are for you to read. If you say "go get daddy a book" he will go over to the book shelf and pull EVERY book off of the shelf, then pick one for you.
Oh and my favorite fun thing from this month: He has started sleeping until 7:15 instead of 6:15.
The biggest thing I've noticed this month is how much independent play he will do. He will sit for long periods of time and play with a toy or "read" a book to himself or play with with magnet letters on the fridge. He is very content to just sit alone and play.
Enjoy some pictures from this month
Watching the Macy's Christmas Parade
Playing under the high chairReading (well really he likes to turn the pages)
He loves to knock over blocks that you stackNanny and Sweets let him have his Christmas/Birthday gift early. Its a "Learning Tower." He loves it. He can stand at the counter with me, or stand on the floor and play on its shelf. Its great and I think he'll use it for years and years.
