11 months old

*Army crawls like a flash.  Likes to complete a loop around the house stopping to look at things along with the way.

*Loves to play with the “boing, boing” door stoppers that look like springs

* loves to stand on your lap and get pulled back and forth with his arms.

* Follows mama around the house and waits outside the door to the garage, the bathroom, and the shower.  You have to check carefully when you open doors.

* Has only pulled up to a stand once.  Not sure why he hasn’t done more of that.

* Not interested in walking behind the walk with help.

* Will not self feed, or East Stage 3 foods, or cheerios or puffs.  Will gag and throw up. (bit worried about this….)

* Will not put a sippy cup spout or straw past his lips

* Very, very clingy to mama when she is around.  Regards new people suspiciously before he decides he likes them or not.

* LOVES knocking down block towers that mama builds.

* Doing better sleeping (shhh), but still wakes up in the night or early in the morning (too early)

* Likes to squeal back and forth at his sister when she screetches at him.

* Does not really like riding in the jogging stroller

*Finally gave up the morning nap

* Has two bottom teeth and two front silly looking teeth coming in.

* Does not like to chew on toys (BIG surprise).  Does not put much in his mouth.

* Been out of the baby carrier carseat for around a month (thank goodness, my arm was shot).
