Reece 11 months

Reece,

You are 11 months old!  We absolutely cannot believe that in just a month we will be celebrating your 1st birthday!

You still just have 6 teeth. We keep thinking more will pop out any day now.  You have become quite the little parrot this month. If you hear anyone say anything with the da or ba sounds you will say those syllables back to them. You have also started to baby babble which is adorable. You will look at your brothers or mommy and daddy and start "talking." You want to be big so bad and to have conversations with us. You started to wave when we say hi or bye bye and have clapped a couple of times now. 

You are definitely a mover and a shaker. You are in constant motion and love to explore. This month you have discovered how fun it is to throw things on the floor whether it is food or toys or anything in close proximity to you. You still absolutely LOVE climbing the stairs and we had to buy another baby gate for the bottom of the stairs for you little crazy boy. You are starting to cruise around a lot more and I know walking will take place really soon. You will crawl so fast to something or someone you are excited to get to and will sometimes stop and look around to see where you want to go or what is happening. You have so many baby toys and you like exploring with them and playing with them but you would rather do whatever your brothers are doing (including putting their toys in your mouth.)

You celebrated your first Christmas this month. It was very busy with Christmas with both sides of the family and our Christmas at home. You were so cute how you had no idea what was going on and how you just wanted to put everything in your mouth or play with the paper. You also met Santa for the first time!

You still like to go to bed around 7/7:30 and wake up anywhere between 6:30-7:15.  You also still take 2 naps a day.

You are still taking 4 formula feedings and are still such a good little eater.   When you are ready to eat, see someone eating, or get brought into the kitchen you start smacking your lips together while making a clicking sound with your tongue. It is quite hilarious. Also when you are finished eating, you wipe all the food on the floor or throw it, and put your head over the edge of the high chair to watch it fall. 

You absolutely adore your brothers and they love playing with you. It is so sweet.

We love you more than words can say and are so blessed that you are a part of our family.
