11 Months

Ah!  Only one more month until our baby turns 1!!  I have no idea where time has gone.  Jack will go to the doctor the beginning of June, so we will have a good idea of height and weight then.  He has moved into some 12 month clothing depending on how they fit.


Jack, Jack:
  • You had a lot of firsts this month.  First haircut-March 31st...First tooth (bottom left)-April 19th...First ear infection (double)-April 25th
  • You are able to stand alone for about 30 seconds.  Your legs are strong enough to lower your body gently back down to the ground rather than falling. 
  • You are a speed crawler.  Seriously, when you see food or a remote, you take off! 
  • You are also awesome at cruising!
  • You have become much more sensitive to your surroundings.  If your sister isn't sharing or takes a toy away that you were playing with, you get the saddest look on your face and start to cry.  You also hate it when someone opens that pantry door and closes it before you get there.  You must know this is where the food is!!
  • Speaking of food, you have quite the appepite!  At some meals, you eat more than your sister.  You are on formula only now and take 2 1/2 to 3 eight-ounce bottles per day. 
  • You take 1-2 naps per day, totaling about 3 hours of sleep.  At night, you go to bed around 7 and wake up at 6:30 to go to the sitter.
