11 Months Old

Yesterday Grant turned 11 months old. He is learning so many new things. Aunt Sheila taught him how to play catch - he LOVES throwing his ball and trying to catch when you throw back to him. He's eating more "table" foods - cottage cheese, bananas, toast/bread in just about any form, jello, yogurt, mixed fruits. Still not a huge fan of regular veggies even though he loved the pureed ones, but did start eating a little bit more on the meats side over the last few days - Gerber meat sticks and ham.

We have a little walker that Grant has started walking behind over the last day or two. He likes it a lot and thinks he is pretty hot stuff :) We have one inside and he is using one of his cousin's outside...(see below)

Riding on the walker/ride-on toy that we're borrowing from the Shea's - THANK YOU!Here he goes - taking off from Mommy already - it's only the beginning :)

What else...last week he learned "So Big". Now he will actually raise his arms when asked how big he is :) Oh - yesterday we asked if he could wave to the neighbor man across the street - not expecting anything b/c he had never done it before - but he actually did it! Now when asked to wave - he simply does it (usually) :) YAY!

This morning after getting Grant dressed for church I told him he looked "spiffy" and whistled at him - he busted out laughing like whistling was the funniest thing he had every heard. He tries to imitate the sound with his little voice - it's so cute!

Less than one month until Grant has been with us for one whole year. We feel extremely blessed by this little boy - day after day after day. He has brought so much joy to our lives - we pray the years to come will be as good as the first.
