11 months

My my how things have changed....

I put James down for a nap today.  He was quiet for about 30 minutes and then well, I guess he woke up, or maybe he just decided that 30 minutes was enough time for me to get settled into some sort of project.  So I let him be noisy for a little bit - then he started to cry.  I went in to give him some loves and comfort him.  Surprise, he was sitting up.  That hasn't happened before.  I laid him back down and he was quite again.  20 minutes later he is full on crying again.  Like come and get me right now crying.  So I went to check on him and SURPRISE!  He is now standing up in his crib.  I can just hear James saying "Happy 11 months old Mom - he he he".

James had a lot of firsts this month -
He fell down the stairs
He got his first ear infection
He discovered himself in the mirror and loves to give himself kisses
He tried a curry stew and liked it
He now stands up the crib

He is also starting to not nap as well
He still wants to walk everywhere but can only do it with help
He is particular about the books we read to him
He does NOT like to be left in a room by himself
He loves watching movies like Baby Einstien
He doesn't like to lay down for a diaper change
He is more cuddly
He loves the tub - so much that he will stay in it naked with no water.

 If you look closely at this photo - click on it and look close you will see two cute little teeth.

 This is James trying to stand up - this is as far as he can get.

 Eying the camera - I can barely take any photos without a little helper.
