Happy 11 Month Birthday!

Dear Luke,

Your 11 month birthday didn't feel like that big of a deal to me... maybe it's a little overshadowed by your ONE YEAR birthday that's just a month away!  I'm planning a fun little party for you. :)

At 11 months:

You weigh 20 pounds 10 ounces.

You are broadening your culinary palette.  You've had your first adult meal: Italian pesto salad (elbow noodles, cannellini beans, pesto, and parmesan).  You also eat peas, mixed vegetables, pita bread, and you had some of a waffle this morning.  You do NOT like picking up bananas by hand, but you loved them mashed.

You LOVE playing with any kind of little lotion tube and your bottle of vitamin D drops.

You definitely know what "no" means and, at times, listen when we say it. :)

You still want Mommy, most of the time.

You have begun to learn to drink from a sippy cup.

You've taken to dropping your bear or lovey out of your crib.  I think it was an accident the first few times, but you've also done it intentionally to see what happens when you drop it.  Then you dissolve into tears when you realize you can't get it back.  One night when I was gone you did this after Daddy put you to bed.  He turned off all the lights upstairs and sneaked in to deposit your bear back in the crib, without you seeing him.  You were feeling around for it and when you found it, you cuddled up, sighed contentedly, and fell right to sleep.

You're still working on your top teeth and have at least one more little tooth trying to come through on the bottom.

You are obsessed with your Baby Einstein take-along tunes toy.  It's the toy you never get tired of!

You can say more consonants now... mama, nana, and still lots of dada.



We love you!

Love,
Mommy
