11 Months

Once again, I am a good 2 weeks late on updating the blog! Holden hit the 11 month mark on Nov. 24 and wow, I feel like so much has happened in the past month. He started fully walking just after he turned 10 months and he's all over the place. It's hard to take him anywhere, like the store, because he wants to walk all around and grab things and then he throws a temper tantrum when I pick him up and try to carry him or put him in the shopping cart.

Let's see, he is now walking, has 5 teeth, says no no no to all of the things he's not supposed to touch or play with, brings us books to read to him (especially when he's getting tired or just waking up), and sleeps through the night (for the most part). He still loves dogs and kittens, loves his truck and animal picture books, loves tractors and big trucks (really gets a kick out of watching the garbage truck), loves finger foods or whatever we are eating, really LOVES smoothies from Jamba Juice, loves being outside, loves playing with other kids, and still loves to play with all balls...baseball, rubber, bouncy, football, basketball, and soccer. He still hates getting dressed and his diaper changed and gives mommy quite a struggle to do either, and he does not like to go to sleep and gives a good fight to stay awake.

I can't believe he's almost a year old!!!

Loves drinking with a straw...maybe I should put milk in that!


Grandpa pulls him around the house on this car....

And outside

Loving the swing with Grandma


First carousel ride. Hard to see but it's mommy, HJ and Adi



Checking out the "tractor" (fork lift) in the warehouse at work






Trying to climb up the slide...always have to keep an eye on him



Loves to play with (or rip to shreds is more like it) mommy's magazines




Sliding around with the magazines



Loves the laundry room because there are so many fun things...the dog door, washer and dryer doors to slam and the garbage can.


I gave him the cereal container to entertain him for a few minutes and the turkey got it open and dumped it all over the floor! The dogs loved it!

God Keri, he has changed so much since the last time I saw you guys. It makes me sad how quickly they grow, especially with us being apart. We can't wait to see you guys, it's hard to believe we will be celebrating Holden's 1st birthday, didn't you just have him??
