Sweet Teddy boy is 11 months already! A good example of what an 11 month is like is what happened when I was nursing him before bed tonight. He was laying on my lap and pushed against the armrest of the chair to reach his pacifier on the end table. He popped the pacifier in his mouth and signed that he was all done. My tiny baby has opinions, can do things on his own, and can communicate his desires.

He figured out crawling and gets into everything now. Ben gets a little tired of defending his toys but we’re working how to give them both their own space.

Neither boy napped so we climbed in the van, hit the road, swung through coffee drive through, and both boys passed out. Victory is mine!

“Hello? Hi Grandma!”

We took a family trip to Binder Park Zoo where the biggest attraction is feeding the giraffes. Ben loved the giraffes as much as he did when we took him last summer.
