11 months old

Carson - what a character you have become:

• You keep me and Da-Da entertained constantly. 
• You have developed quite the little attitude, you get mad when we close the door b/c you love going outside, and you hate when we have to take something away from you that you are not suppose to have. 
• Heaven forbid we take your passy! I had to give you a bath the other night with it in your mouth :)
• You love your baths, some days after we get home that is the only thing I can do to make you happy. 
• You have been skipping your afternoon naps lately.
• You are getting better and better at walking, you are also getting faster. 
• You love to pick up the smallest things on the floor, I have one eye on you at all times. 
• You love to feed yourself, some of the finger foods you like now are: chicken, pork chop, potatoes, green beans, cheerios, puffs, cheese and whatever mama and da-da are eating - you walk up to us and spit your passy out to let us know you want a bite. I still feed you jar food to make sure you are getting enough to eat. Not sure how much you are throwing on the floor to share with your doggies. 
• You still don't really like the sippy cup, not sure what we are going to do when we try to wean you from the bottle.
• We have started to add a little cow's milk to your bottle to start getting you use to it, hopefully in a week or so we won't have to buy formula anymore, YAY!
• You got a new carseat last week and I think you are much more comfortable and love being able to see what is going on. I don't worry so much about you being too hot anymore now that you are facing forward.
• You now think it is extra fun to get up (for good) at 5:45 every morning; but you are so cute walking around/playing the kitchen in your PJ's while I fix your bottle and Da-Da is getting ready to leave for work, you are always in the best mood when you wake up each day. 
• You probably weigh about 20-21 pounds, are still in size 3 diapers and 12 month clothing.
• You have 2 teeth, one of which is still making its way up. I think you are about to get more soon. 
• You are a little dare-devil, you get one bruise and scratch after another :(
• You love to jump into piles of pillows and blankets. You love being naked. You really loved jumping into piles of pillows while being naked :)
• You love being chased, you even try to get the dogs to chase you. :)
• You love music, it is so cute when you bounce your knees and bootie when you hear a song.
• You do not like loud noises, it upsets you at daycare when other babies cry loudly, and you hate it when Da-Da wrestles with Chase b/c Chase barks really loud! You hate the vacuum cleaner, the blender and the lawn mower. 
• You have your 1st beach vacation coming up, I can't wait to see you play in the sand, please don't eat any!
• AND.........Your 1st Birthday party is around the corner as well, I am having so much fun planning the perfect party to celebrate you!!!!!!!! Mama loves you so much!
