11 months old!

Tinsley, you are 11 months old!  It is hard to believe that one month from today we will be celebrating your First Birthday!!! 

A little bit about you at 11 months old.

      -    You weigh 22 pounds.

-    You have 4 teeth!  The top two and bottom two center.

-    You are wearing size 12 to 18 month clothing.

-    You are in size 4 diapers.

-    You are still not sleeping too great.  We are still up at least once a night, sometimes more than that.  You normally go to bed between 8-8:30.  You then wake up anywhere between 12-2.  After that, you may or may not wake up again before morning.  You wake up for the day between 5:30-6 a.m.  You are definitely a little early bird.

-    You are still not a great eater when it comes to food.  We went to the doctor regarding your eating and I will document that in a separate posting.

-    You are jabbering up a storm and you have started saying “words” which you seem to be associating with things/people.  You say “mama”, “dada”, “bye” and “Eagan”.  You don’t actually say “Eagan”.  You squeal “EEEEE” in delight when you see Eagan.   It is so sweet!  We think you are starting to say “hi” as well.  The other night, when daddy came home, you were sitting in the floor and it sounded like you said “hey”.  This is how daddy normally greets you when he comes home, so we think you actually were attempting to say it.

-    You will wave when someone tells you hi or bye. 

-    When we ask you if you are going to be “1”, you hold up one finger at us and smile.

-    You are really trying to walk.  You pull up on anything and everything and walk everywhere using one hand for balance.  You also will walk across the floor if you have something to hold onto.  You took two steps to me 3 nights ago, but so far, that is the only walking on your own we have seen out of you.

-     You love to dance!  When fast music comes on, you are a little dancing machine.  We bought a Christmas dog at Wal-Mart that sings and dances and you love to dance right along with it. 

-   You are a climber.  You climb over and on top of anything and everything.  I caught you on top of a storage container the other night.  We were in your room and I was putting clothes you have outgrown in a plastic storage container.  You were “helping” me by taking a piece of clothing out each time I folded and put something in.  I finally got you distracted long enough to finish putting the stuff in the container.  I put the container outside your door in the living room.  I walked into your closet to hang something up and you were playing in the floor in your room.  By the time I turned back around, you had made your way out of your room and into the living room.  You had climbed up onto the storage container and were sitting on it just as proud as could be!  You are also a fan of climbing up grandmom and granddad’s stairs.  You are fast and we have to watch you EVERY SECOND!!!

 We are loving every day watching you grow, learn and explore.  The past 11 months have gone by so quickly!  We love you so much sweet Tinsley!

Check out those pretty pearly whites!
