It seems to us, each time we post we mention something about how quickly the time goes by.... so we will spare you. But HOLY COW, does time sure fly!
The Dude is now 11 months old. According to the shipping computer at Papa's work, he is around 18.5 lbs, standing like a pro (sometimes unassisted!), eating like a horse, constantly babbling, imitating words and sounds like crazy (not always getting the right sounds, but definitely nailing the syllables), and definitely going thru a "Mama Phase".
No sure signs of walking soon, though when lead by the fingers of the lovely Gram-Manda he struts his legs like a toy soldier. He's getting the idea, and trust us - we are in no kind of hurry.
"Sleep" is still a four letter word in our house, but some nights are better than others. Chalk it up to developmental beasties, teething or separation anxiety... who knows - but we've given up obsessing about it and given in to the fact that will probably never go back to our pre-baby, well rested look. *sigh*
But the payoffs are HUGE. We have a happy, goofy, active little guy who is the light of our universe. And when he plants a sloppy, wet kiss on you, you can't help but forget about how tired you are.
Let the preparations for The Great First Birthday Extravaganza begin!
