11 Months

Where has this month gone??  Where has this year gone, for that matter!  Tomorrow Luke is one month away from being one year old.  For some reason the last week or so he seems to have grown a foot taller.  He just looks so big!  He’s still doing his super fast bear crawl, and is walking around the coffee table really well.  Today he walked all the way around it twice without sitting/falling down. 

I've been terrible about taking pictures lately! I did really well on the 4th of July and I was so proud of myself, but since then... not so much! I would say giving kisses is the first major thing where I am blown away that he knows what we're saying and somehow figured out how to give kisses himself. It's so crazy to me that after all these months of me saying "give Mommy a kiss" when I go to kiss him, he now leans forward and gives me big sloppy baby love when I ask for it!

He is very vocal and sometimes just talks all day long.  I’m pretty sure the other day he said “boo” while Tommy and I were playing peek-a-boo with him.  We had both said boo a bunch of times, and then I think Luke said it!  Other than that (possible) boo, he pretty much sticks to mama and dada. 

He’s still eating mostly formula and baby food, but I have started giving him “big people food.”  Today he ate some turkey, and he loves crackers and graham crackers. 

He’s wearing a size 3 diaper, and 9-12 months clothes.  He loves his little walker toy.  Other than that, his favorite toy is… anything that is not a toy and he shouldn’t have.  I had to empty the coffee table drawers because he’s been pulling everything out of them and I don’t think they can be child proofed.  We have some pretty major child proofing to do.
