11 months

I can't believe my baby boy is almost a year! 

Ethan at 11 months:

• Loves loves the park
• Is so close to walking - pushes anything and everything (including random strollers at the park)
• Great eater - favorite foods include: Blueberries, pancakes with jam, mandrain oranges, ice cream (don't worry we don't give it to him very often)
• Still nurses before naps, at night, and in the morning. 
• Takes one to two naps a day - anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes 
• Is finally sleeping through the night - at least when Chris and I are on the air mattress in the living room...we're still working on all of us being in the same room...needless to say a one bedroom apartment isn't the best idea...
• Says ma ma, da da, and daww (dog) - at least I think 
• Has already begun to throw tantrums - especially when I'm trying to change him
• Loves balls and trucks. 
• Is really good a playing catch, has great aim and a good arm for such a little guy
• Has an adorable laugh and finds the simplest things hilarious - such as throwing a ball 
• Every now and again he scrunches his nose and starts to fake laugh - it's the cutest thing
• Went through a phase (for a month or so) where he would get so excited or happy and ball up his fists, flex his arms and grit his teeth with a huge smile - it was pretty priceless 

We have our tough moments every now and again, where he is throwing a tantrum or not sleeping but more often than not he is the happiest little boy and brings us so much joy! I am so blessed and so grateful to be his mom!
