McKenzie: You're 11 months old today!!




Wow. In one month you'll celebrate your first birthday. I cannot believe how fast you've changed over the past 11 months. You complete our family more than you'll ever know.

Month 10 was a big month for milestones for you. You totally ditched crawling. You learned how to stand up without using something or someone as support. You've decided that walking is over-rated and you've begin to run. It i so cute as you still waddle a bit. You learned to clap along to songs and actually did this task when prompted to do so. You've never been a "parrot" type of baby, so this milestone shocked Daddy and I more than any other.

You're stomping your feet now when Mama sings, "Stomp, Stomp, Stomp your feet, stomp your feet today!" I made that up. Are you impressed? Haha.

You wave, blow kisses, and give high fives! You initiate love ALL the time by hugging and kissing those you're closest with. You absolutely love to kiss and hug on Bayleigh. Bayleigh humors you by giving you big, wet, slobbery kisses. You laugh hysterically and the two of you repeat these cycles.

You can say "No, No, No" but you shake your head yes when doing this. Daddy and I try to tell you that you're confusing us.

You're well on your way to ditching the bottle next month. You're only getting a breakfast bottle and a bedtime bottle. Everything else is in your sippy cup. You also learned to drink from a straw! Finally. You're a straw sucking pro now. You tried whole milk for the first time. Mama bought the Organic kind- you're not a fan of it quite yet. We Keep trying though.

You're fiery personality came out this month, too, with full fledged, toddler style temper fits. Complete with screeching and attempting to slap. You've earned some cool off time in your pack in play for this new milestone.

Nanny got you your first Rays shirt. You're quite proud to support Pop Pop's baseball team as they battle the Phillies in the World Series.

I cannot wait to see what month 11 has in store for us. We love you a bit more every day.
