Eleven Months Old!

Ezekiel, you are eleven months old today! 

Your physical development has really leaped ahead this past month! Here's what you've been up to: 

- You still weigh about 18 lbs. and are nearly 29 inches long! 

- On Sunday, December 2 we got our Christmas tree. I put you in your pack-n-play to work on it and when I turned back around you had pulled yourself up to standing! Now you're pulling up everywhere and doing some cruising. 

- You started saying "ma ma" this month! 

- You have learned how to give '5's and will do it with most people. 

- You have started giving Mommy kisses! You'll sometimes give kisses to others too, but not too often. 

- You are wearing mostly 9-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. 

- You are still nursing! Usually 3 - 4 times a day. 

- We went to the Kansas City Zoo a few days before Christmas. You seemed to see more of the animals then when we took you in Fort Worth. You also took your first carousel ride! 

 - We celebrated Christmas Part I with Aunt Teresa and her family and Papa Glen. This is your first experience with the Farming Game.

December 23, 2012 

 - You got your first pair of Toms from Aunt Teresa and her family for Christmas.

 - You met your great-Grandpa Davis in Marion, IA.

- We celebrated Christmas Part II in Iowa with Daddy's family.

-You enjoyed putting together your new farm animal legos with Daddy on Christmas morning.

 - We finally bought a baby gate so we could make you a "play room". Papa Glen bought us a nice big rug so you don't have to crawl around on the hard wood floors all the time. You seem to really enjoy your area because you have all your toys, can move around as much as you want, and still see me working in the kitchen and around the house. Dora sometimes joins you near the doorway :0)

- Your hair has grown a lot this month and turned quite curly.

- You are up on your knees crawling now (not just army crawling anymore)! So you are pretty fast and I have to check on you OFTEN! ... like right now...

- You met a lot of new family this month and they commented that you are a good baby. You are pretty quiet when you talk and play (of course you scream some, but not often) and warm up to new people pretty fast. You let them hold you and feed you and even gave out a few '5's.

Daddy and I love you so much and can't believe we'll be planning your first birthday party over the next few weeks! Every day is an adventure with you and I love being your Mommy, guiding you as you grow into a little boy and eventually a young man.

To life... full of a little busy-body!
