Eleven Months

Only one month to go before our sweet baby boy is one! Seriously, where has the time gone?!  This morning I weighed Kai on our scale at home and he came in at the same weight as last month, 20lbs 3oz.  Our rough estimate of Kai's height is also showing about 29 inches. He's had a rough month of teething and now has a cold so hasn't been in the mood to eat much.

At eleven months Kai is:
-wearing size 3 diapers
-wearing 9-12 or 12 month clothes
-wearing size 3 shoes
-still drinking 6oz of breast milk every 4 hours (sometimes he drinks from a bottle, sometimes from a sippy cup, and still nursing when I'm home with him)
-eating three meals a day plus two snacks
-taking two AWESOME naps!!  (9:00-10:00am & 1:00-3:30ish)
-going to bed around 7:30-8:00pm
-not sleeping through the night
-pointing at everything: people, dogs, toys, food, objects around the house
-talking a lot: he's always been a babbler, but now we're hearing actual words such as 'no', 'hi', 'boo', 'dada', and 'mama' only occasionally
-beginning to climb: he climbed up onto the hearth a few weeks ago and Tyson put him on the stairs at our friends' house today and he climbed all the way to the top
-sporting one teeny tiny tooth!!

We see this all of the time!

Other things about Kai at eleven months:
-he lays down for both of his naps pretty well, usually without crying at all.  However, the night is still a disaster
-loves walking with the motorcycle that Nana & Papa got him Christmas.  He is getting much better about turning and when he gets stuck, he'll just walk around to the front of the bike and push from that side
-loves books!
-loves his cousins Ava and Ella! :)
-he can be a good cuddler when he's really tired, but he doesn't like to sit still for too long these days
-we'll probably start weaning from the bottle and nursing soon.  I want to be bottle free (at least during the day) by his birthday AND my goal is no formula.  We haven't used any formula yet so we just have one month to go!

Still crawling all over the place!
