Everett: 11 Months

Looking through my list of milestones and new things you started to do this month I am reading over and over about how much I just want to hold you and snuggle you. You have been so cuddly this month. You started giving us hugs and loves and dig your head into our laps to cuddle.

Because of a lot of construction going on lately I was able to rock you during a few naps this month which to be honest I have missed doing.

You stand on your tip toes and its looking like you may be a toe walker like your mom.

I hate giving you up at night and putting you in your crib. Sometimes I wish I could hold you forever.

Listening to you laugh with daddy is my favorite sound in the whole world.

It is so adorable how you rub your eyes when you are tired.

You especially like to rub your eyes and hair when your hands are sticky and covered in food.

Most of the time you help dad put all of your bath toys to sleep after bath time. Saving the little frog for last because he is your favorite.

This month you started the dreaded game of dropping everything and once it is back on your tray you drop it again.
You love crawling after kids soccer balls at the playground so for Easter you got your very own blue soccer ball.

Mom made the mistake of letting you try her smoothies. They are now your favorite.

This month was the first time you really threw up. It covered you head to toe and got all over your crib and even a little on the floor. Dad bathed you again while I cleaned your room. Then dad rocked you back to sleep. It was such a sad experience.

You have two laughs. Your fake laugh that you use most of the time. Then your real laugh which is just to much fun to listen to.

You love it when we cough or sneeze. It is just too funny. But usually only funny enough for the fake laugh.

You started holding on really tight when you don't want to be put down and I love it!

One of my favorite moments this month was when I walked past your room and dad was feeding you your morning bottle then read stories with you after.

When dad walks around his ankles crack and you have figured that out so you always know when he is walking around and look for him when you hear the crack.

You had another cold this month which made for a really long week. 

Along with your cold you have been teething for a couple weeks now and for the first time it is really making you feel miserable.

When you want to get down from being held your body goes limp and you put your head down.

At the grocery store you won't sit forward. You have to be looking behind you and always have one leg out and have just recently started wriggling around in your little seat belt so that you can stand up in the cart.

You have started looking when we point to something that we want you to see.

You are wearing size four diapers and 12-18 month clothes.

While playing you often will put your head down on anything soft that you see. And you just started resting your head on the couch sometimes.

You put your head down on your high chair sometimes. Either because you are done eating, tired, or just having fun.

You love to chew on moms flip flops and it is really gross.

You have the cutest morning hair ever.

You like to stick your hand in peoples mouths.

You are getting really good at picking up small pieces of food and getting them into your mouth. If the food is really soft though you would rather just squish it then eat it.

You have stood up all by yourself a couple times which means that it probably won't be long before we have a walker.

Everett you are the sweetest baby ever. I really don't know how we got so lucky to have you in our lives. It is hard to believe that in one more month you will be 1. You have the coolest little personality. You love to explore, have no fears, and are just loving this little life of yours.
