11 down, 1 to go....

11 months!

Can't believe my sweet, handsome baby boy is 11 months old today! It doesn't seem right that in only one month I will have a toddler. Before you have kids of your own you always here people say how quickly time passes by once you have them...they are SO right!! He amazes me each and every day. Ted and I were blessed with the happiest baby I've ever met in my life, and I've met lots of babies!! He has a smile for every single person he meets or that even just glances his way. There has never been a time that we have left the house and not had a stranger come and tell us how sweet and inviting his smile is. He loves attention and will do anything to get it. He is a little busy body, and keeps us on our toes constantly, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

He's finally packing on the pounds and thinks he has to eat everything in sight! He wants everything we eat and is not a picky eater. He even likes onions, by themselves! I'm sad to see him getting older, but so glad he's getting to where he will soon not have to be on that nasty Nutramigen formula he has had to be on this whole time because of a milk allergy, which is pretty much gone we think! He just couldn't gain much weight on that stuff, but he's packin on the pounds now. For now he's a lil shorty like his mama, but hopefully he will eventually get his daddies height, because being as short as me won't be fun for him! :)

HIS FAVORITE THINGS:

• Bath time - he LOVES the water, can't wait till his next swim lessons in a couple of months because he has a blast!
• Giving kisses (especially to his mama :) But loves giving them to Dada and his doggies too!
• Clapping, anytime you say YAAAY he's sure to be clapping those hands and grinnin ear to ear!
• Books - he loves books! He will sit and look through his books for the longest, and of course loves to take all of our books off of our bookshelf in the living room and look through them too, and make a huge mess for mama to clean 78927 times a day :)

He loves talking, and tries to say everything we say. He does a pretty dang good job repeating words we say to him to be so young.

He's standing alone without holding onto anything for longer and longer each time he does it, and walking so good pushing his walking toy! He'll be a walking machine before we know it.

He's got his 2 teeth on the bottom, one finally peeking through on top and 2 more on top getting ready!

We will be having his first birthday party in Texas on the 11th, which is the weekend before his actual birthday, but Ted has duty weekend on the 19th so he has to be here in Florida in case he has to work. We will get to Texas late on Friday the 3rd and be there through the 12th.

The VERY long awaited surgery approval/dates have finally been established and I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to have some relief and finally be able to shop like a normal person and not spend hours just trying to find a cute shirt that will fit my boobs and not fit anywhere else! AHHHH CAN'T WAIT! Never been able to do that, since I hit puberty forever ago these puppies have been huge...Sept. 24th is the big day!
