11 Month Pictures

















































11 Months Old

* Once again this post is very late. I am so happy that I am good about taking pictures, and updating things on Facebook, which have been extremely helpful in helping me remember little details!

Graydon is weighing around 24 lbs. and still wearing size 4 disposable diapers. He is now wearing all 12 month clothing still but wears 18 month pajamas.

He is still eating great. He eats solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has bottles in between and before bed. Still gets up once at night and has a diaper change and bottle. He drinks well from a sippy cup as long as it has a straw.

Graydon is walking now! He started walking at 10.5 months old. He is doing so well and is all over the place!
All of a sudden he is also pointing at things constantly. He is so cute and curious. He has also started clapping on demand etc.

Still hates getting dressed and throws little tantrums, but this is all normal behavior for his age.

No new teeth besides the 4.

Same nap routine, usually for about 3 hours a day, one in morning and one in the afternoon.

Still going to bed around 7:30 and goes right down.

One of the big things that happened this past month was that we dedicated Graydon (actually dedicated ourselves to raising him to love and know Jesus.) This was a very special day for us and we were blessed to be able to share it with close friends and family.

We have also attended Jazz at the Zoo a couple of times. It is hard because he wants to be all over the place and will not sit still, but thankfully food is always a good distraction! We hope that he grows up loving an eclectic, variety of music like we do.

Chris turned 31 this past month as well. We celebrated by eating at Hop Cat and Graydon did terrific. He absolutely LOVED the fish and chips, we were so proud of him!

We also attended Sage's Birthday party this month and Graydon had a great time playing with all of the little kids.

Graydon also experienced his first trip to the cabin in Caseville this month, which he did very well. It was a fun experience letting him walk in the mucky sand/water in the lake. We also went all the way over to Verona to see my family for a Family Reunion. A lot of people had not met Graydon yet so that was very fun for us!

Towards the end of the month Chris and I took a trip to Chicago for a couple days before his very last busy year of school started. Graydon stayed with Chris's parents for the weekend and did wonderful. We are blessed that they are willing to do that for us occasionally!

10 Months Old

This post is WAY late. I wrote this in August of last year. I am totally kicking myself for not keeping up on this blog better. Well I am trying to catch up the best I can!

Graydon is getting so big. He weighs around 23 lbs. and wears size 4 disposable diapers. He is mostly wearing 9-12 month clothing still but wears 18 month pajamas.

He is eating great. He eats solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has bottles in between and before bed. He usually still gets up one time during the night for a small bottle as well.
He also drinks pretty well from his sippy cup.
For purees he loves any sort of fruit, and also eats mixed vegetables, peas, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. We have been having him try a lot more regular food. He loves chicken and will eat some vegetables and fruit.
His favorite "snackies" as I call them, are puffs, arrowroot cookies, little crunchies, carrot wheels and fruit and veggie bites.

He is crawling really well and pulling himself up on everything. We think he will be walking soon!

Bath time is harder because he is constantly wanting to stand up in the tub. The boy does not sit still!

Still obsessed with the dog bowls. Anytime he hears us put the food in the bowls he comes crawling as quick as he can. You think he thinks it's his turn to eat...haha!

He hates getting dressed and likes to throw little tantrums when we change his diaper. We started flicking him on the thigh and it seemed to work.

Has 4 teeth, two on top and two on bottom.

Graydon naps very well, usually for about 3 hours a day, one in morning and one in the afternoon.

He loves the remote control, or our phones. Anything he can push buttons on that he isn't supposed to have... :)

Goes to bed around 7:30 and usually goes right down.
