Declan at 11 Months

Declan: Eleven Months

• You weigh 17.5 pounds
• You are wearing 9-12 month shirts and 6 month pants and you have tiny feet size 2 or 6-9 months!
• You sleep anywhere from 6/630pm-6:15/630am, and 1 nap (11:00 to 2:00)
• You are still crawling and standing with help and will walk along the couch or with your little walker or in your walker. It's so cute to see your chubby little legs up and walking!
• Your favorite toys are still your colored shapes and dino bounce ball.. but really you love all your toys equally.
•  You love daddy's computer and will try and 'type' on it all the time when we aren't looking....
• Your 5th tooth came in a few weeks ago, 3rd for the bottom!
• If we lay you down and you're not ready to go right to sleep you like to bang your paci's on the back of your crib and throw them over the railing and then cry until we come back and give them to you.
• Your favorite foods are chicken, baby puffs, yogurt, avocado and sweet potato.... however you love all food but you don't like raspberries! 
• You can call the hogs and its so adorable!
• You still love your bottle and freak out when you see one.
• You like to watch anything that is on TV. You still like the intro to Friends and Orange Is The New Black... (good thing you can't tell what is going on during that tv show!)
• You love the TV remote and look for it until you find it!
• When you get sleepy you rub your eyes and bang your head into where ever you are at...  my shoulder, the floor, the couch cushions, really wherever you are at. 
• You've been sick again this weekend, and daddy and I have been too. So glad we are all almost over it!
• Since it's fall we have started putting socks and shoes on you and you take them off and then eat them... every single time!! (see pic below)
• We have started putting long sleeve shirts on you when it's a little cooler and you try and take the sleeve part off. Its pretty amusing!
• We went to Little Gym this weekend and you loved it like the first time but I think even more because you got to do more things this time!! We hope to do this once a month until you're older and then we will take you more!
• You slept 16 HOURS one night..... I didn't know what to do with myself after a few hours of being up so I woke you up! 

Declan I can't believe you are 11 months!! ELEVEN MONTHS!!! It feels like last week we were just finding out we were pregnant with you and now your 1 month from a year. It has been a long but very short 11 months and I can't remember what we ever did without you! Your little face lights up when I come to pick you up at Mrs. B's house. Your little squeals are adorable and 'calling the hogs' makes this mama so proud!  You my dear Declan James can't get any cuter, sweeter, lovable but I'm sure you will find a way.
