Benjamin is 11 months

Our laid-back Benjamin is showing off his cool hair after bathtime. Do you like how I spelled out eleven with the blocks this time?

Seriously? Benjamin is only a month from turning 1-year-old? I was just saying a few days ago how sometimes that seems so fast and then other times it seems like Benjamin has been in our lives for a long time. Crazy how life is, huh?


Things going on in our 11-month-old's world:

  • He is definitely walking everywhere! Maybe running a little, too.
  • He developed separation anxiety in the mornings when I head to work and Drew has to pry Benjamin's Kung Fu grip off of my legs so I can leave for work (insert sniff, sniff for me!).
  • He loves to turn anything into a car (i.e. push the remote around the floor like a race car). Are boys just born with this boyish instinct?
  • While he loves playing with his "cars", he also loves a hair product. Anywhere from trying to brush his hair to playing with my rollers or hair dryer. Well, let's be honest...he likes them to push around as cars too.
  • He's signing "all done" and waving bye-bye.
  • He loves for people to put their hands on his mouth to make it sound like and Indian call (sorry, I know that's not the politically correct term anymore).
  • He still lights up just about any room that he's in with that infectious smile.
  • He's into everything! We actually had to babyproof our house with cabinet locks and always keep an eye on the dog food and toilet. This is something we never had to do with ME, but this BAD boy is lightning fast!
  • Last, but not least, he's melted mine and Drew's hearts and we're so thankful to have this sweet baby in our lives...now if he could only sleep through the night every night...
