Eleven Months

 

Do you remember the story "The Monster at the End of this Book"? Grover is convinced that he won't have to face the Monster at the End of this Book if he can keep the pages from being turned. Well, I'll admit that I have given some serious consideration to the possibility that maybe...just maybe...if I don't post this eleven month post, Joey won't be able to turn one! But I guess I'm just rational enough still to know that probably won't work. Sigh...

Oh, where to start? Our Poseph is just the cutest, funnest, most hilarious kid ever! He is into absolutely everything, all the time. And he seems to know what he's not supposed to get into, and that's definitely where he wants to be! And when he gets caught, he just gives you his sweetest, most impish smile. Yeah, it's hard to get too upset after that! He loves playing with Maese, and Maese is pretty tolerant of all of Joey's toddler-love. :) Joey loves to play with the kids, and often gets rather frustrated when he can't go with them to play outside. So he'll stand at the back door and watch them, all the while yelling at them. If only we knew what he was saying! This kid babbles constantly. Danny says he's like a cartoon baby; he just crawls around the house destroying what he can, all the while sweetly babbling to whomever might be listening. This kid is too much!

Joey continues to be about the easiest baby ever. He eats on a great schedule, and now he's tackling 8 oz bottles like they're nothing. He eats anything and everything we'll give him! He still prefers his naps in the crib, and has even taken to crawling to my room and pulling his blanket between the slats of his crib until I notice he's ready to go to bed. Seriously, he asks for naps! But even the times that his naps are interrupted by my schedule, he'll catch the sleep in his carseat he can and then be patient and pleasant until he can get to his crib. I love this kid! He sleeps solid through the night, and always wakes up happy. The one thing we have definitely learned about Joey is that he gets ultra-silly when he's tired. It's hilarious! And he thinks he's the most hilarious thing ever. It's awesome!


Here's more about our silly boy at 11 months:

*Still wearing size 3 diapers, but we're starting to think it's time to move up (hello, blowouts)
*Wearing 12 month clothes
*Now has FOUR teeth! The two on the bottom, and his fangs on top :)
*Really starting to prefer his Daddy
*Waves "hello" and "goodbye"
*Has discovered his reflection and finds it hilarious
*Cruises along the furniture like a boss
*Does NOT like the feeling of grass
*His favorite toy is a ball...any ball, and he's got quite the arm!


Well, that's it. Next month is the last post! :( I'm going to miss my sweet baby boy!!
