Olivia and Anthony: The 11th Month

It's coming up fast....the big ONE! Wyatt is now 11 months old and the time before his first birthday is quickly sliding away. He has always taken his changes in leaps and bounds, and now is no different! Last week he went from pulling himself to his knees to pulling himself into a stand. We are so excited about this change, but it now it's incredibly difficult to keep things out of his grasp :) Then earlier this week he started walking along the coffee table and couches, which means practically nothing is safe! Haha! He'll hold onto our hands and RUN to where ever he wants to be. It's absolutely adorable. And the whole time he'll pant "he he he he"...kind of like a woman in labor. At therapy Wednesday he climbed a WHOLE flight of stairs on his own (which we've been working towards since before he could crawl), and his latest accomplishment came yesterday when he started clapping! It came completely out of the blue too! It's so exciting to me to see all these milestones finally happen because we've been waiting and waiting for them.

And when it comes to food, it's more of the same. Wyatt's decided that he just really doesn't care for baby food anymore, and will only eat finger food of some sort. I've started buying the toddler graduates food since he absolutely prefers them. And boy can that boy eat!! I thought he was a piggo before when he would down double the amount of milk the pediatrician said he could physically handle. Now he'll eat nearly as much as I do! Anthony has to make an ENORMOUS batch of scrambled eggs in the morning to feed both he and Wyatt. The funniest part is that Wyatt is still a skinny bub! He's a little chunk on him (enough to cuddle), but for how much he eats, you'd expect him to be at least twice his size! A friend of mine had a baby four days before I had Wyatt, and they met not long ago. Her boy is already in 18 month clothes!! Meanwhile, Wyatt is barely in 9 month. I still think our guy is pretty damn perfect though :)
