11 Months Old

Well another month has managed to pass by in the blink of an eye and my baby is one step closer to being a year old. I can't believe it. Where does the time go?

This past month Jack has really become a daddy's boy.

His vocabulary now includes "oah" for Noah, "dad", "dada", "daddy", "ba ba", and "dat" for that, while pointing at something. Zoe swears he says her name too, I'm not so sure. He jabbers all the time, especially in the car. I wish I knew what he was saying.

He is getting better at pulling himself to a standing position and walking along furniture and walls. He has been my earliest crawler, but latest walker. I don't think it helps that Noah and Zoe try to help a little too much.

He loves giving kisses and still thinks Zoe is the funniest thing ever.

He loves to snuggle up with both Noah and Zoe when they lay down on the floor. He crawls over to them and lays his head down on their face, tummy, or whatever is convenient.

He loves emptying any and all drawers he can get open. Same goes for cupboards, closets, baskets, bags, and so on.

He loves a good game of "peek-a-boo". Most of the time this is all it takes to get him to stop fussing or crying.

He is full of smiles and has very expressive eyes.

He can even raise his eyebrows at you.

As you can tell, we think he is the cutest thing ever.

Some pictures from this past month:

Look at those big blue eyes.
Loving Daddy's pasta.
Zoe entertaining him. She loves pushing him around in her car.As you can see, he doesn't always stay seated.
Playing in the playroom with the older kids...
At least this time he is playing independently and not destroying their track.

Everything goes in his mouth these days. Including crayons.
We have this sweet older gentleman at church that hands out tootsie rolls to the kids every week. Somehow one ended up on the floor and Jack got a hold of it. He knew exactly what to do.I spoiled his fun right after I took these pictures. He doesn't have enough teeth to chew it properly.
