11 Months!

Only one more month until the big ONE!! Thank goodness I finally picked out an invitation for his birthday! I seriously have a hard time making these kinds of decisions, so I am thrilled to have that out of the way and just get to the fun planning for Reed's big day!

Stats:
Weight: 22 lbs. (Hasn't changed since last month. I am assuming that this is just because he has been walking like crazy the entire month.)
Heights: 31 in.

At 11 Months:

• Reed loves the water, pool, bathtub, wherever. He will take it wherever he can get it. He absolutely loves to get in the pool and splash around, but his extreme splashing skills come to life in the tub. He soaks the entire bathroom everytime.


• He killed his first living thing. Not to worry, it was only a spider. I absolutely despise spiders so you can imagine how hard it was to pull the spider out of Reed's mouth. The bug man is coming next week!


• He can catch a bouncy ball when we throw it to him. Just a few weeks ago when my Mom was here, she started throwing the ball to Reed while he was in his baby pool. Surprisingly, he would catch it! We have now started to throw smaller balls to him in hopes that he might start catching those. We're getting there!




• Has cut all of his canine teeth and is working on his 1 year molars. Poor baby! These molars are worse than any of the ones that he has cut thus far and for good reason, they are bigger. He is constantly chewing on his fingers these days to try to get some relief.


• He absolutely loves blueberries. He shoves them in his mouth as quickly as he can. It is hilarious to watch.




• If you ask Reed where his nose is, he will pull up his shirt and show you his belly. Not sure why this is the first body part for him to identify, lol! Thankfully, he will point to his belly if you ask him where his belly is.


• He has started to talk a little more. He will now say "bye bye" very clearly while waving. Too cute! He is still sporadic on the use of Mama but continues to say Dada.
  


• Reed is very loving. He has started coming up to us and wrapping his arms around our necks and squeezing. So sweet!


• He loves to open and close the french doors in our house. Thankfully, he has learned to keep his fingers out of the way.
