Here's some interesting things about Lachlan at 11 months I want to document to share with him later:
~Truly started to crawl just after his 10 month mark...he had been doing a funny one-legged scoot/crawl thing previous, but finally figured out how to truly crawl. However, it didn't last long, b/c...
~He started taking steps on Wednesday, August 12th!!! He was only 10 1/2 months old!
~Started pushing his walking push toy all over the place on August 15th.
~Started walking half-way across his play mat on August 18th.
~Is now walking wherever and whenever he wants! This makes is difficult to get very much of anything done! He thinks he's so smart. He started walking all over on about August 27th, just before his 11th month mark.
~Took his first real tumble down a couple of stairs on August 17th, where he cut his frenulum labii superiorisis (the skin between your upper lip and your gums...I'm a science freak I had to look it up!), it bled quite a bit and bothered him for a couple of days, but he didn't cry for very long after doing it. He is seriously one tough cookie!
~I finally noticed on August 19th that he had his 4 top teeth coming in all at the same time. I thought the bumps were from his crash initially...it was Shayne who truly thought they looked more like teeth than bruises on his gums...I guess an ER nurse would know things like that. For having that many teeth coming it, he's been a very good baby.
~His his top left eye tooth broke through on August 20th...ya, not his main front tooth, but the one next to it.
~He decided to climb all the way up the stairs on August 29th...hadn't really tried it much before this, and then all of the sudden was half-way up the stairs hanging out at the window.
~His favorite toys are his stacking cups, which is the first thing he grabs every morning to play with and hauls them all over the house. He also loves balls of all sorts. Loves to carry them, throw them, roll them, and especially watch you catch them. He's mildly entertained by noisy sorts of toys, but usually wants to be in a cupboard pulling out way more interesting stuff.
~He loves his books, and loves to be read to...will sit forever if you're reading a book he likes, and he definitely has his favorites.
~He loves grapes cut in half, carrot chunks, mango chunks, cheese sticks, banana's, cheese crackers, animal crackers, whole wheat bread, among the other foods he gets fed, and still loves, loves, loves his cottage cheese and yogurt!!
~Has figured out how to drink from a straw...and not just a straw but a CamelBak mouthpiece/straw. Yep...he quickly got his own CamelBak b/c mom didn't like what he was leaving in her water bottle. :)
~Still loves his binky, but only gets it in the car seat, and when he goes down for naps or bed time.
~Takes two naps a day, which mom loves!
~Sleeps about 10-11 hours a night...which mom and dad love even more!!
~Says "Mamamamama" and "Dadadada", but doesn't really associate them with us yet. He also says "Wassup?" Too cute.
~Is a very smiley and giggly boy.
We are so enjoying every moment with Lachlan. He amazes us every day with how much he learns and is aware of his environment. Even his messes aren't so bad, b/c we know he's just exploring his world. It's so much fun for Shayne & I to just watch him experience it all. His smiles and giggles are the best things ever!! We so love this little boy!!
p.s. Do you know how hard it is to take a pic with an inanimate object when you have a very animate object walking away from the inanimate object you are trying to both get in the picture? Not so easy...as the pictures show.
