Nathan at 11 Months

Is crawling all over the place!

Has mastered pulling up and down on furniture and loves cruising furniture as well.

Loves to crawl into his room and knock as much as he can off, and out of, the kitchen set area.

At least once a day, he crawls into the hallway and pulls out the carbon monoxide detector and usually pulls a few books off the shelf as well;)

If you divert him from his crawling destination, he usually throws a little fit in protest and gets mad.  And if you take something away from him he doesn't want to give up, he usually lets you know he's not happy about that either.

LOVES baths

Seems to distinctly connect the ma ma sound with his mama;)

Had a bout with pink eye and most recently was diagnosed with another ear infection and the start of pneumonia:(  Has been taking his medicine for a few days now, and is back to his old self again:)

Routinely eats three meals a day (has been doing this since about 10 months actually)

Likes bananas, yogurt, peas, crackers, applesauce, cheese, and meats.  Will usually start tossing food off his tray if he's not hungry anymore.

Finds it more fun to throw his Cheerios on the ground than to actually eat them.

Has started signing "All done."

Getting better at drinking water out of a cup but still doesn't know how to hold it himself to drink it.

Doesn't rely heavily on nursing during the day, but it is still the tried and true method for settling him back into sleep at night without too much fan fair.  

Always starts out in his crib at night, but always ends up sleeping with mom and dad at some point during the night too.

Has a little bit of a feisty side, but usually his sweet side dominates:)

Had his first Christmas!

(Christmas post to follow in the not too distant future;)
