Only 1 month away from a year; so hard for us to believe! You have become such a big boy; can my little baby be that close to being a toddler??? We've already started planning your first birthday, and though I'm excited for this big day, I'm also sad that I will be saying goodbye to my little baby...
You've started "cruising," and will walk around any piece of furniture you can get your hands on. In fact, I think you spend the majority of your day on 2 feet rather then crawling! And this new trick definitely wears you out. You are still taking 2 long naps: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You sleep about 11 hours at night; 6:30 am is your normal wake-up, though you do, on occasion, surprise Mommy and Daddy with a 7am wake-up!!

Playing with your older brother is definitely your favorite past-time. You still think he is the funniest thing (and Porter feeds off your laughs!) You get so excited when he walks into the room, and I have no problem leaving you two alone to play together in his room...he is relatively gentle with you; in fact, it's usually Porter complaning that you've hit him! Oh, the fun of 2 little boys is only just beginning!!
You've gotten SOOO much better at feeding yourself. You can hold your own bottle, and we've even dropped one...you get a cup with lunch now. You're eating more and more grown-up food; you love pulled chicken, mashed potatoes, fig newtons, waffles, and yogurt. We've been buying less and less baby food...but you still get at least one jar a day. You are not that fond of real fruit (minus blueberries!) so I usually have to make sure you get enough during the day. I've decided texture is part of your issue, so anything slimy is pretty much off limits. But, we keep trying, and I remain hopeful that you will one day eat sliced banana!
You remain our sweet little man! You have definitely become more attached to us, and get rather upset when you aren't immediately greeted with a hug and a kiss when we wake up, get home from work, etc. How can we complain when such an amazing little boy loves us so much???
