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. 

Reece 10 months

Reece,

You are 10 months old! How have 10 months flown by so fast?

You are 30.3 inches long (95 %), 22 pounds 9 ounces (85 %), and your head is in the 96%. You are a big chunky boy!

This month you got dedicated to the Lord. Your brothers, parents, Eden, Aunt Jeralyn, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, and Mimi came to support us as your parents and to pray over you. 

This month was your first Thanksgiving. We went to Louisiana to spend it with mommys side of the family. Lots of family got to meet you for the first time. They loved holding you and you are such a joy to be around. You did awesome in the car and the hotel too!

You have 6 teeth now and we're pretty sure you're working on more. Your new favorite thing is to make a farting sound with your tongue between your lips. It's adorable how you like to do it and have someone else do it back to you over and over. You love to say "baba" over and over. We are trying to get you to wave and clap but you are not wanting to yet and just think we are funny when we do it.

You are still so busy! We have to really watch you because you will put anything in your mouth, pull things down, and will crawl all the way up the stairs. You are so quiet about it so it is hard to know what you're up to at times. We keep thinking you'll walk soon since you're cruising so much, but maybe not! We'll see...

You 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 taking 4 formula feedings still.   You are still taking some baby food, but are such a pro at finger foods now too! You LOVE to feed yourself now and are so good at it! You don't seem to be a picky eater. You love yogurt melts, baby puffs, Cheerios, cheese, and fruit most of all.

We love you sweet little man!
