Joshua at 11 Months

How can it be that next month this sweet boy will be ONE?!  OH-MY-GOODNESS!!!

Here is what my Big Man J is up to at 11 months... 

• He loves pointing to things with his index finger
• He loves dogs
• His favorite song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider
• He really enjoys going for walks
• He hates wearing his bib and his hat
• He is a master shoe taker offer
• Army crawling is still his main mode of transportation and he is fast when he gets his eye on something he wants! Occasionally he will crawl on his knees but I don't think he likes the feel of being on his knees.  I have even seen him bear crawl a couple of times.   Too funny!
• He has 8 teeth
• We've been working on baby sign and he is starting to get it.  His version of more is softly clapping his hands or tapping one hand with his pointer finger on his other hand. For all done he shakes/waves both hands. 
• He is pulling himself up and doing a little cruising.  As a result he is currently sporting 1 goose egg, 1 scratch, and 2 bruises all on his forehead.  Poor guy.

And now for some pictures...

"HHHMMM, what's for lunch?"

 

Not sure what to think about riding the horse at King Soopers.

 

Not sure what this goofy face is all about but it sure does make me laugh.

 

We go to the park... A LOT.  Joshua really enjoys the swings, playing with his shovel in the mulch and sand, and he especially likes watching all the kids run around.  Here he is watching a group of boys play on a piece of equipment.  Once he spotted them he took off crawling towards them and never looked back.  He sat and watched them play for a good while.  He would smile at them and every now and then he would start laughing at them.    

Playing in the sand

         

 
One of Joshua's favorite things to do these days it to take the books out of the book basket, drop them behind his toy box then lift himself up on to the toy box to look and see where they went.  After he empties the book basket, I refill it and he does it again.  

"Clearly Mom doesn't know where these books belong." 

 

Add it to the stash 
 

 

"Hey, where did it go?"

This is what he does when you say "Sooo big!" 

 

Just doing some push-ups.

 

Check out that 'do on the side.  He thought baked beans would make make a great hair gel.

 

 

We sure do love this little guy a WHOLE lot and are very excited to celebrate his precious life next month!
