He's 11 months old! Davis is still just the sweetest, cutest little thing I've ever seen! Everywhere we go I get comments about his darling red hair, blue eyes and his single dimple. His sweet face is a perfect match for his sweet, lovable spirit. We just love this kid so much!
He used to really prefer me, but has started to show equal enthusiasm about Ben. His face lights up when Ben gets home from work! He bobs his head forward and kicks his little feet until Ben picks him up.
He's really into toys, we now have a baby toy bin in the family room. He loves the walking toy he got for Christmas and pushes it all around. He's started pulling himself up on furniture and cruising around. Just before the 11 month mark he finally started crawling on hands and knees instead of his baby seal scoot. He climbs the stairs like a champ (although hasn't learned to go back down yet).
This past month he started getting picky about food! For awhile there he was feeding himself all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meat. Now he mostly likes waffles and white rolls! We can still sneak other stuff in sometimes, but it's a lot more work than it used to be. Also, at 10.5 months he weaned himself! All of a sudden, one Saturday he refused to nurse! He was down to three feedings a day at that point, and he was taking a full bottle of formula before bed already. So we just went to straight bottle feeding which I honestly think he prefers. It was a little sooner than I wanted, but I basically had no say in the matter.
He likes to watch ESPN with Ben. Seriously, if he's having a hard time going down to bed, they come downstairs and turn on ESPN and he calms right down. After a little while he turns in to Ben, which is his sign that he's ready for bed. Then once Ben lays him down he goes to sleep right away. One night my parents were even babysitting and Davis was having a rough time, so my dad watched a little ESPN with him and it worked like a charm!
He loves toys, but also really loves remotes, phones and the tupperware/bowl cupboard in the kitchen. On this particular day he took off his socks and was entertained by repeatedly throwing them on the ground for like 15 minutes.
Oh Davis, I can't even imagine life without you! Babyhood is pure magic and we are all constantly intoxicated by the love we have for this baby!
