Arrival At 11 Months!

Braden is 11 months old today...hooray! :) He is still adding daily joy to the Bugbee household...and his smile is still irrestible!! :) What a little ham!! :) Still holding strong with only two teeth but he shows them off proudly! :)

He is weighing in at about 25 lbs...and I really want to check his length soon b.c he is getting TALL! :) He is fitting into his 18 month clothes quite nicely....and looks mighty handsome if I do say so myself. :) Such a sweet little man. :)

Here are some updates on Mr. B:
1) He loves to cruise....and is as active as they come. :) I don't think the boy knows how to sit still, and we are just waiting for him to realize that he really does not have to hold onto things to walk. :) Just let go...you can do it! :) Oh...and he uses things like our ottoman as a walker. :)

2) He is a finger food whiz. He loves all different kinds of food...although lately he has started to make sure we know "what" he wants to eat and "when" he wants to eat it. So there! :) HA!! For example..he loves pasta. One night he will grub it up, and then we will go to give it to him days later, and he decides that he is just not into pasta that day. Exhausting!! LOL!! This does tend to lead to LOTS of various cooking. :) The good news is that he tries almost everything...and he really never turns things down b.c he does not like them. He might just not want them that day. :) The nice days of baby food are gone... :( Ah...those were the easy days!

3) He is a fish fan...yay!! He tried salmon and he went back for more! :) And he is also in love with tomatoes. Too bad they give him a horrible diaper rash when he eats too many of them. :(

4) We are transitioning him from the bottle to the sippy cup for his formula. Sometimes he will take 3 or 4 oz out of the full 6 oz from a sippy...and then sometimes he just gets TICKED!! And when he gets ticked, even the bottle is not making things better. I think what he wants to say is "Why are you changing EVERYTHING right now? I LIKE my bottle!!" I think it is safe to say that he is definintely starting to have a mind of his own!

5) He has a few more new words like "HI" and "WOW"...which seriously crack us up daily!! :) He is still chugging along with "mama", "dada", "book", and "ball". We might have a serious talker on our hands. Big shocker, huh? Hee hee! :)

6) His latest and greatest is blowing kisses...and he is quite good at it. :) Too cute.

7) Loves to roll any ball back and forth with you. Are sports in his future? :)

8) He DOES NOT like to have his diaper changed....AT ALL. Or his clothes, or anything that requires him to lay on his back and not be mobile. I literally break a sweat everytime I change him! :)

9) He is getting better at riding in the car for longer periods of time (this has never been his favorite thing but we do it anyway)....as long as he has lots of toys to entertain him. :)

10) Reading is still one of his top favorite things to do....and he still constantly asks for "book". :) I LOVE that!! :) We limit the amount of time that he actually spends watching baby movies (only every once in awhile)...but look out if you actually put one in!! I have never seen a kid crawl so fast to get to the opening act in a movie in my life. LOL! And with a huge smile on his face too! :) Sometimes we start the movie just to watch that. LOL!! :) Then after about 10 min he is done with that movie and onto something else.

Oh Braden...how we love you!! :) You are simply precious!! :)

He is looking at me like "Mom, PUHLEASE tell me that you are not going to take these pics after I turn ONE year old!!"
He is in love with those Munchkin letters that stick to the bathtub. Right now he wants to chew the #1 to pieces. Guess he is trying to tell us "I am almost ONE!!" :) Show us those pearly whites. :)
