11 Months!

Ryan is now 11 months old! I didn’t do an update for 10 months but he is changing soo fast. He is so so busy playing and crawling. He won’t sit still for more than 10 seconds and then he is off again.

These are some of the things he has been doing/is learning to do

Crawling everywhere. He would much rather be on the ground than be held right now.

Cruising. He is pulling up and walking around all the furniture

Walking – we have seen a few first steps – about 1 ½ before he falls but he is getting brave and is trying it more often. His favorite thing to do is walk behind his stroller and push it himself when we are at the store or on a walk.

Talking all the time. Sometimes I wonder if he is telling himself jokes because he will be talking and then just start laughing at himself. This also includes screeching. When he’s happy or having fun he just screams at the top of his lungs just for fun – this is not necessarily a skill we want to encourage – as there are times and places when it’s not appropriate but we are trying to teach him when he needs to be quieter.

Becoming more consistent in naptime length as well as bedtime. He consistently sleeps from 7-6:30 – which I thought would never happen.

In the last month or so I feel like he has changed from a baby to a little boy. He is showing more emotions and interests and likes and dislikes. We are so enjoying watching him grow. He loves to play and laugh and he is learning so many new things about the world!
