11 Months Old

Parker is 11 months old today!

Big Milestones: Right after he turned 10 months old her started taking small steps and in the last week or so he has really taken off! He can walk across rooms and turn around when walking. He still falls down but gets right back up if he has something to push up on. He is really close to being able to stand up alone but not quite there yet. He also can climb the stairs and sorta get down them but we have them gated off! We're still working on saying a few words but he mostly likes to make noises.

He finally got another tooth last week! He got one on the top left next to the front ones. When looking at his gums the two front teeth and the tooth on the right side look like they are about to break through any day!

Measurements: He still wears some 6-9 month clothes but they are mixed in with some 9-12 month clothes too. I just bought him some 12 month jeans and both pairs are huge...especially in length. He has grown quite a bit in months 10 and 11 and I measured him at right about 30 inches long. I stood him on the scale and he weighed 20 pounds! I can finally put him on the scale without worrying he will fall or crawl off!

Daily Schedule: He has started napping twice a day but still wakes up around 5:30 and goes to bed at 7:30 or so. He eats three times a day and still nurses/takes a bottle 4 times a day but has been eating less during the daytime. I think he is also ready for more snacks in between meals especially when we get home after school/work/daycare.

His big birthday is coming up and I am excited for his one year pictures and his birthday party but I can't believe he is already almost one!
