Well this little monkey is going to be a year old exactly one month from today. It's hard to believe that he is that close to this milestone birthday. I have been feeling a little sentimental about this (and many other things) lately. It may be the fact that I feel like I blinked and he is almost a year, or it may also be the fact that May & June are big months for our family. For one, my baby sister who I remember coming home from the hospital on her birthday nearly 22 years ago, is now about ready to graduate from college and is headed to graduate school at ASU. My dad is turning 65 on Thursday, which is REALLY hard for me to believe, and Paige hits the big 3-0, exactly one month from today. A lot of celebrating is in order, but I will say that along with that, there is definitely a part of me that is feeling very nostalgic about it all.
As for Reed, 10/11 months is proving to be one of my favorites so far (although I think I say that about every stage). Reed is like a little sponge right now, learning all sorts of new things, and really interacting with everyone and everything around him.
Here are some of his favorite things at 11 Months Old:
Favorite Word "Hi"
Favorite thing to do Play with his cousin Ollie
Favorite time of day Bathtime
Favorite TV Show Barney
Favorite Toy Books
Favorite Food Chicken
Other things he is doing include; clapping & pointing (he loves to point and say "ohh"). He loves the water, loves to give "besos", open drawers and pull everything out. He climbs the stairs, sits, stands, cruises & crawls. And sleeps about 12 hours a night.
