Ryan is 11 months old

We’ve got one month left until he turns ONE.  That’s just craziness.

Our little [or not so little] boy has quite the personality these days.  He is a joy to have in our family and either makes me crazy or makes me smile all day long.  He’s a destructive little boy – the bigger the mess the better.  He pulls just about anything over and climbs anything he thinks he can climb.  Today he pulled our big garbage can over and it landed right on him.  I got about 15 minutes of cuddle time after that one.

Speaking of cuddling, Ryan can be quite the cuddler.  He loves to snuggle in and give loves.  I absolutely love this about him.

 

Ryan at 11 months:

. He still will eat anything & he never stops eating.  You just have to cut him off.  He gets really mad if he’s sitting in his highchair and there’s even 30 seconds without food being offered.

. He loves his mama [and his dad].  When I walk in to a room he stops what he’s doing and with a big smile crawls right over to me.  He will do the same to Wes when he’s been gone for a while.

. He’s got 7 teeth.

. He still has not mastered the sleeping thing.  He sometimes just cries and cries for no apparent reason.

. Speaking of sleeping, most of the time he lays ON his lion and holds a binky while he sleeps.  Lately when he’s mad in there he throws everything out of his crib and then cries even louder.

. He weighs 23 pounds.

. Loves being outside.  He loves going on walks, playing in dirt, crawling around in the grass, climbing on playgrounds, etc.  If he’s outside, he’s happy.  I think this summer will be fun when I can get out some water toys!

. He HITS!  Seriously!  He will whack you and pull hair on purpose.

. He loves to play but also still loves to be held.

. He’s been crawling for 5 months and walking around things for almost 4.  But no sign of walking yet.

. He had his first haircut today.  He was starting to grow a mullet so before anyone could say “look at that baby’s mullet”, we cut it off. 

. He loves music.

. He’s slightly better in the car.

. He will lay right on Nate and just roll over him and give him big hugs and kisses.

. He’s got a great smile.

. He can throw quite a tantrum.

. He HATES getting dressed and un-dressed.  The only time this isn’t a problem is when he’s standing next to the bathtub as it’s filling up with water for his nightly bath.  He LOVES getting in the tub so he will cooperate with getting his clothes off.

. He still takes two naps.  They usually aren’t great naps but he’s getting a little better.

   

We love this little boy of ours!
