11 months

Today Brendan is 11 months old, just 1 month away from his first birthday!

updates:

• He's walking all over the place. He doesn't like to be held as much as he would rather be down and exploring either by crawling or walking. He is just starting to be able to get in a standing position without using something to pull up on.
• Loves to wave hi, bye-bye and good night.
• Says mama, dada, and night night.
• He has started pointing at everything.
• He's got the beat - when ever he hears music either on the radio or from one of his toys he starts to bop to the music.
• His favorite toy right now is the block sorter and he's getting pretty good at getting the blocks through the slots (though we have to show him which shape to put it through).
• He likes us to read him books. His favorite nighttime book is Time For Bed.
• starting to feed himself a few foods mostly just veggie puffs and cheerios. Besides formula, his favorite foods are yogurt, pureed fruits and vegetables.
• He keeps growing and is at least 25 pounds and wearing size 24 month clothing.
• He loves the holiday deocrations and lights. He especially likes the large blow-up characters that a lot of our neighbors have in their yards and he waves to them when we go out for walks.
• He doesn't like to wear socks or hats - he's always pulling them off even though its chilly.
