11 months...oh my!

I cannot believe we are one month away from having a one-year old little boy (not baby).  He already doesn't seem like a baby.  No one told me toddler-hood starts at 11 months!

At the doc's office last week, Sawyer weighed 18 1/2 lbs (he lost some weight from being sick) and was 30 inches long. You can see his long arms and legs below. 

Sawyer is a very active little boy. He

• wears 12-18 month clothes
• wears size 3 diapers
• does NOT sleep through the night (don't worry...I am used to it.)
• takes 2 naps a day (an hour-2 each)
• has 6 teeth (4 up top and 2 on bottom)
• eats anything that he can pick up - all finger foods
• drinks 3-4 bottles a day and breastfeeds in the am and pm
• is learning how to drink out of his sippy cup 
• says real words, such as mama, dada and da (dog) and still babbles CONSTANTLY
• pulls himself up on everything
• cruises along tables and couches
• crawls very fast everywhere
• loves to un-roll toilet paper (keep the bathroom doors closed)
• has a fake laugh he uses when he wants you to really make him laugh
• waves bye-bye (not consistently)
• is full of personality (see below pic) and has a real belly laugh

• thinks his dad is hilarious (dad is making him smile)

• loves all toys, especially musical ones and ones that fit in his mouth (trucks, singing animals, his tunnel, balls)
  
  
  
  
• dances to anything resembling music- really NON-STOP
• gives big open-mouth kisses when you ask for them (here he is kissing his little girlfriend Scarlett)

• lays his head on you when he wants a hug - precious
• pulls hair for comfort
• loves to swing
• enjoys being read to and played with
• still does not know a stranger -likes everyone
• welcomes people he knows with big smiles
• wants his "mama" when he is fussy
• makes his mom and dad very happy everyday.  Seriously, we are so blessed to have such a sweet boy who is full of energy and excitement for life
