I am 11 months old! Let the countdown begin!

Wow! 11 months let the countdown to 1 year begin!!! The tenth month was a rough one in our house, but we managed to survive :) Ford got 4 new teeth (yes 4 in a matter of weeks), and took a lot of falls mostly his head colliding with something solid! Poor guy had a hard month, but the teeth are through the gums and he is becoming much more cautious about falling. A lot of tears were shed this month from a baby who rarely ever cries, but most of the time the tears were warranted. All that being sad there was still a lot of smiling, giggling, hugging, wet kissing, joyful screaming and lots of proud moments for our sweet boy! Here are some facts about Ford at 11 months!

* He went from crawling to speed crawling in only a few weeks, and is into EVERYTHING!
* He is pulling up on just about anything he can get his hands on. I really can't leave him alone or take my eyes off of him!
* He loves to play in his room and most of the time it looks like a bomb went off. Erik and I think he tries to see how fast he can dump everything out!
* He is still very wild and very loud!
* He knows what he wants and what he doesn't want and lets you know about! I am not ready for this much attitude and this young of an age, but oh my is it here!!!
* Currently his favorite toy is an empty diaper box with a picture of a little boy on it that he calls "Daga"! Most pictures of little kids he calls "Daga"!
*He loves the beach crawling all in the sad getting into every crevice and sometimes taking a handful to the mouth!
*He loves music and loves to dance!
*He LOVES Cooper and anything with a dog on it!
*He loves books and currently his favorite is one about 101 Dalmatians not a big surprise!
*When we ask his what a doggy says he makes a panting noise with his tongue out! He knows what a lion says, a monkey, and and Indian (Erik taught him that not me :), but he gets them confused a lot! He always gets the doggy sound right though!
*He now has 6 teeth and I am hoping we get a few weeks break from any new ones!
*I still rock him to sleep and he loves to snuggle with me while he drifts off. It is pure bliss for me!
* He is finally sleeping on his own without any sort of swaddle and loves to sleep on his tummy!
*He still takes 2 naps a day for about 1 1/2 hours each.
*He sleeps from 7pm-6am and I wished I could train him to sleep later!
*He has so much personality and is a super friendly little boy! He loves to hand out smiles!
*He loves to give kisses to Erik and I and to his stuffed animals! His lambie is his favorite!

Here is our sweet boy at 11 months!
