Christian Turns 11 Months Old

Our lil' guy turns 11 months old today!

He's got five teeth now - two on top and three on the bottom. He likes to test out his bite ... on our clothing (often getting some skin in his bite - ow!) and sometimes while breastfeeding (double ow!).

His favorite play things lately: doors, door stops (the springy kind on the wall that prevents the door from slamming into the wall) and clothes hangers. He also really enjoys books, which is wonderful! He has lots of toys, and they stay untouched in his toy box in favor of whatever book he can find.

He also loves going up the stairs. Any chance Christian gets, he quickly crawls over to the bottom of his stairs, looks to the top and starts his climb. We've got to be quick around here!

I think he's on the verge of walking now. He pulls himself up to whatever we have: the couch, the bed, my desk chair and the stair railing upstairs. Since we don't have coffee tables, he's pretty limited on what he can pull himself up to.


Mealtime has become challenging lately. I know Christian is hungry, but he protests whatever I give him. I try to shake it up by offering new foods (i.e., bits of waffle, chicken, pasta) and different locations, since he often gets very upset about being placed in his high chair. So every day is different ... yesterday he ate a lot, and had a good breakfast today ... but lunch later on might be a complete failure

Bathtime has also become a bit of a challenge. He ususally wants out the moment he gets in. I have no idea why ... its a nice temp and there are fun toys. He seems to just want his Mommy instead.
