11 Months!

Jack REFUSED to sit or lay still to take his 11 month picture.  Every shot was a blur of skin and diaper. 

So. 

Here's his update sans picture :(

He weighs close to 18 pounds now and is 28 1/2 inches long. 

He's crawling everywhere and is pulling up on everything. 

He's got 4 teeth (two middle bottom teeth, one middle top tooth, and one side top tooth), and he's cutting at least one more. 

He loves waving "hi" to people, but he also uses that motion to get people closer to him and to tell others he wants something. 

He eats pretty much anything that gets near his mouth during meals (lots of puréed veggies and fruits, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, sharp cheddar chunks, turkey slices, black olives, frozen blueberries, Cheerios, plums, bananas, feta cheese).

He does a really good job of playing by himself during his independent playtime each day for 30 to 45 minutes most days. 

He loves swinging at the park and seeing all of the ducks, and he loves going on walks in the stroller in the neighborhood. 

He's a snuggler, and a giggler, and a ball of energy with tons of smiles. We love him to pieces, and I'm incredibly thankful I get to be his mom and celebrate my first official Mother's Day with him.
