11 months!

My little stinker is 11 months old! I can't believe that I will have a one-year-old in just a month. At 11 months, Frankie is...

-Walking. Not toddling anymore, but full-on, almost-running, walking. Everywhere! He is getting faster and faster. Sometimes he gets so wound up after day care that he will just walk around from room to room non-stop between dinner and bath time. As you can see from the picture above, it is getting extremely difficult to get a good picture where he is smiling, standing still, and looking at the camera. He also just recently learned how to stand up on his own from sitting.

-Throwing. He loves to throw the ball for Katy, and he loves to pick anything up and throw it.

-Bye bye. He loves to wave byebye, and he mouths "bye bye" and sometimes says it when he waves.

-Eating. A LOT! For awhile, there was nothing he wouldn't eat. But, just the last couple of nights, he has refused to eat broccoli, which used to be one of his favorite foods. I hope this is not the start of him refusing to eat veggies. He still gets three 8-ounce bottles a day.

-(Knock on wood) Has not been to the doctor in 2 full months! He has been sick during that time, and he actually has been coughing for more than a week now, but nothing serious enough to go to the doctor. This is his first two-month stretch without a doctor visit ever.

Frankie still loves to go outside, and he loves to play peek-a-boo and to "chase" or be chased. He is super ticklish, and we love nothing more than to hear his sweet laugh. He can be rough, but we are trying to teach him to be gentle. I love this little boy more than anything in the world. Happy 11 months little buddy!
