Eleven Months Old!!

Henry Christopher- 11 Months Old

I can't believe it's almost Henry's first birthday!  The year has literally flown by.  This month has brought another tooth (and promise of 3 more!)  He spent his first nights away from mommy and was a good boy while staying with Papa and Grandma Debbie.  He is getting around more and playing with more toys.  He loves to be doing whatever Tommy is doing.  He is such a fun baby!  We love discovering his little personality and his definite likes and dislikes.  He has started crying whenever we take something away- no matter what it is.  He loves to crawl and find every last crumb, electrical outlet, and cord possible.  He loves to sit on the top step of the swimming pool and just splash- the harder he splashes, the happier he is.  We love him more each day and are having a wonderful summer just enjoying our precious Henry!

Henry's unofficial weight at 11 months is 24lbs.  I think that the weight is mostly due to the massive quantities of food he ate while staying with my parents while we were on vacation.  He must have been worried about his survival because he ate almost double what he eats at home in a day!  :)

What is Henry up to at 11 months?

• He sleeps from 7pm - 7:30am every night.  His new teeth have caused him to wake up a little more than usual, but after a little tylenol and some cuddles he usually lays right back down.
• He drinks about 24oz of formula a day and 3 meals of baby food.  Each meal is usually 2 jars of baby food or some finger foods and a jar of baby food.
• He is eating stage 3 foods and feeding himself small pieces of most things.  He loves blueberries and melon!
• He usually naps from 9-11am and then again from 1:30-4pm.
• He is in size 4 diapers and 12-18 month clothes.
• He crawls (army crawls on his belly), sits, pulls to standing (and can balance with only one hand).
• He claps, plays peek-a-boo, waves, does "so-big" and seems to understand a little of what we say.  He has a "horrible" fake cough that he has been using lots since big brother has a real cough this week.
• We've heard him say "ni-ni-ni-ni" when it is bed time or he is tired.  I'm pretty sure he has also said "all-done" a couple of times.
• He is up to 5 teeth- 2 on the bottom and 3 on the top.
