and that means that Allen is 11 months old. It would be easy to miss this month because everyone wants to talk about his first birthday next month. But would your response ever be "oh, he's 7 months old, well, he'll be 8 months next month!" No! We're starting to plan for a birthday party, but right now, we're celebrating 11 wonderful months with our angel baby. This last month has been very busy with Christian working extra and me starting my fall semester. Allen had a little adjustment getting back on schedule with going to Ms. Devon's everyday, but now he's doing great. He talks a lot! We've heard him say/mimic: bye-bye, mama, dada, all gone, done, Mocha, more, bubbles, papa, the end, te amo, and car noises. Right now he is using his approximation of "more" consistently. He uses it many times a day because he always wants more food! He is very decisive and will let you know what he wants, especially if given choices. I let him pick out clothes, food, and books. Allen is also standing by himself more and more and taking more steps. He hasn't taken his "first step" without holding on to something yet, but it is coming soon! We have so much fun playing together. We make each other laugh by chasing each other (crawling), tickling under his chin, banging two book blocks together then throwing one, and putting toys on our head and making them fall. Of course, he loves to throw things down on the ground and has recently taken to trying to feed the cats some of his cheerios, which he could eat all day, everyday. We've had lots of fun with friends and family and are extremely grateful for another healthy, happy, love-filled month together. Here are some pictures from the last month and from today to mark his 11 month birthday. Notice some of his new expressions and funny faces :)
