Andrew @ 11 months!

It is so hard to believe that my baby boy turned 11 months old on the 20th!!   He is growing up way to fast for me.  We haven’t been to the doctor since he was 9 months so I have no clue how much he weighs but I am sure it is over 20 lbs! 

He does not crawl on his hands and knees but he scoots and pulls himself all over the house!  I need to put a cleaning pad on him so he can sweep while he moves all around!  He has finally started to pull up.  He pulls up on toys, chairs and his bed. 

He jibber jabbers a WHOLE lot and he is so LOUD!!  He can say “Da-Da”, “MaMa”, “bye-bye” (and waves).  Papaw and Nana say that he says their name too! 

He is starting to eat “big people” food and loves it!  His favorite things so far are pancakes, bananas and anything sweet!  He will still eat some baby food but lots of times he will spit it out.  He loves to make a mess.  I guess it is time to start weaning him off the bottle….so sad!

Here are a few pics of my sweet little man!

My Little Indians

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  I had the entire week off of work and I enjoyed spending time with my kiddos!  Last Friday, Syd and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Colonial Day School.  Sophie was dressed as a precious Indian and she told us all sorts of things she learned about the Indians and Pilgrims.

After lunch me, Mom, Kori and Andrew headed to Foley, Al to do a little Black Friday shopping.  We stayed 2 nights and had a great time.  Andrew did so well shopping…he is such a trooper.  The girls stayed in Vicksburg with MeMe, Pop, Jason, Scott and Syd.  They had a great time all weekend.  MeMe and Jason took them to the Monroe Zoo!

We hope you had a fun turkey day too!
