Christian 11 months

Such a little man!

Wow! Christian is on the move. He loves to pull himself up on everything he can. He loves to walk along the furniture as well. We got him a chair to walk around in but he doesn't know quite how to use it. He can push himself backwards and then gets frustrated. He mostly likes to climb on it and push it around. He is learning to wave and clap but doesn't quite have it but its coming. He LOVES to be outside and loves to go on walks in the stroller. He gets so upset and starts to cry when you bring him inside or shut the door on him.

He loves to stand up where ever he is

He still isn't sleeping through the night and that is frustrating. But he sleeps in for me until about 8:30am so its really nice not to have to get up at 6am. He takes really good naps but has to be in his own bed or car seat to even fall asleep. Church is hard because we have to go right about his nap time. I try and rock him to sleep but it only lasts for about 30-45 mins depending on what is going on.

He is doing better at eating and will at least try the things I put in front of him and depending on how hungry he is. He LOVES applesauce so at least he is getting some fruit. He still loves Cheerios in the morning and yogurt. He really likes crackers and bread. When he does try things he puts it in his mouth and chews for awhile and then if its not something he likes he just spits it back out.

Such a little flirt

Christian is such a happy boy. I love to go into his room in the morning and see him either standing up or sitting up and he has such a big smile on his face. He is starting to say mama and I love that. I will say 'where is mama?', and he will look right at me......so cute! He loves to look at the family pictures I have around the house. He just looks at them and smiles. I point out each person and he gets so happy. His favorite place to play is in the bathroom. I don't know what it is about the bathroom, he won't go into my room but loves the bathroom. So when he is up or we venture in the bathroom we have to keep the door shut and he gets so mad when you shut the door. Weird?! Christian likes to hear music too. Every time a cartoon or even the singing show 'The Sing Off' is on he will turn his head and watch and listen and eventually will bounce up and down.
