11 months

Has it really been that long?

I know I haven't exactly been doing 'regular' updates, but this little boy has grown so much in the last few months I just have to document it. 

I figure a normal person would just wait a month a do a year overview, but seeing as that's two days before Christmas.....I think I'll just take care of it now :)

Like Coralee, he ditched all fours for up on two feet at about 9 months. 

Obviously that's a big change, but just in the last month, I feel like so many little things are adding up

to make him seem like a 'toddler' (though I refuse to actually call him that until after his birthday).

In the last month:

*He finally got a tooth (Coralee was also a late teether, and I love it!)

*He started really eating solids, and loves him some eggs 

(we never feed him purees, so the process is a little different) .

*He has mastered getting down from the couch, bed, stairs, ext.. 

(though I still don't trust him 100% going down the stairs)

*He has figured out how to run. 

*He now walks himself into the babysitting room at the YMCA, and doesn't look back.

*He started climbing on things. (he's been going up the stairs for months now,

 but he is figuring out out to climb everything else)

*Today he walked along with us for part of our hike.

I feel like I'm missing some things, I may have to edit this when I remember. 

Geesh, this last year has just been NUTS, but I'll do more of a 'reflection' post later, for now,

I'm just trying to grasp how on earth my baby is turning into this kid.
