Carter's 11 Months Old

I know I say this every month, but WOW has time flown. I mean in one month we will be celebrating this BIG guys 1st Birthday!!

**Carter finally got his first tooth this past month, just after turning 10 months old. And as of last week he has a second tooth that has just broken through the gums.

**Carter is still sleeping through the night! He sleeps in the 10-11 hour range usually.

**He's napping like a champ, thankfully we've come a long way since he was younger and hated napping! 2 naps a day that range from an hour-an hour and a half.

**He still loves food!! Not much he doesn't like. Although he's funny and one day he LOVES something, but the next day he has no desire to eat the same thing. Funny kid sometimes.

**He's very into throwing his food on the floor, which I loathe obviously! Trying to teach him not to do that, but its not going so well right now.

**We are still doing swim lessons and he's doing great! He goes under the water for 4-5 seconds!! He LOVES swimming.

**Carter is just drinking out of sippy cups these days for water and milk except at bedtime, he still has a bottle. This next month we'll work on making that a sippy cup too!

**Carter started WALKING. Not walking all the time, but he'll take a few steps sometimes if standing up or if we stand him up in front of us. Still a bit wobbly which makes me nervous for him to practice on the wood and tile downstairs, so we try and just practice on the carpet upstairs.

**He's talking a bunch more lately. Still only saying dada and mama, but has conversations with me more in his own little language.

**He's mastered waving bye bye.

**He loves throwing a ball and other things. He also loves pulling books off his shelf or taking every toy out of his bins.

**Still very much in a clingy stage. When does this end?? Always wants mama to hold him. I try hard to get him interested in other things, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Love, love this sweet boy!! Can't wait for his birthday festivities next month!
