11 months

This happy little boy turned 11 months old yesterday. Time has flown so quickly, and now I can't remember what our little family was like before him! He's growing and changing so much:

*I have been holding his little hands together at dinner while we say grace and tonight he did it all on his own!
*He's babbling a lot more.  He says mama a lot and I think he even associates it with me occasionally.  He has also said dada while looking at Scott.
*He's a great eater and will eat most things we give him.  So far he doesn't seem to be a fan of mac and cheese or noodles in general.  Perplexing - I wish I didn't like pasta. :)
*He's not a huge fan of the sippy cup, but it's growing on him which is good since we need to start retiring the bottle soon.
*He cruises around furniture and has stood on his own for a few seconds, but crawling is still his preferred method to get around.
*He is super curious about everything, and when he sets his mind to something, he'll figure out a way to get to it.
*Karsten can make him laugh so easily.
*He likes to play cars and makes a motor(ish) sound with his mouth when he drives them.  This is very cute, but when he does it loudly in church, it's slightly less cute.
*He likes to play throw a ball back and forth with you.
*If you tell him 'no' because he has something he's not supposed to play with, he'll throw it down. I imagine him saying Karsten's statement of 'I DIDN'T DO NOTHING'.
*He's working on getting in another tooth because he's drooling like crazy, chewing on everything in sight and pulling on his ear.
