Happy 11 months!

Wow. In 1 short month I will have a 1 year old. I have so many mixed emotions about this. As I sit here I remember this time last year I was working 1 day from home because I was so uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to meet Gabriel and was counting down the days. Now, I sit here, not wanting to count the days.

This month Gabriel got sick...again. This is the 3rd ear infection & cold and he also came down with a virus and got his first fever. Scared the hell out of me, as it was 102.3 at it's highest. Joe was out of town again, so it was a very stressful time for us.

Gabriel is eating a lot more table foods, but still taking in about 24oz of breastmilk in addition to the baby purees and table foods. He has a healthy appetite, but when he's not hungry anymore he knows to push away the bottle/spoon/fork. His new favorite food loves are strawberries, blueberries, grilled cheese, waffles, meatballs, rice.

He still isn't walking, but constantly pulls himself up. He tries to let go and stand without support, but quickly falls. He'll get the hang of it, we aren't pushing it. He's a bigger boy and has a lot more weight to hold up! He is a master at climbing the stairs (thanks Titi Alyssa!) and will go for them at every minute. Don't turn your back for a second!

This month Gabriel has started saying a few more words other than mama, dada, daddy. He says "Go" (says this while climbing the stairs), "yeah", "hey", "hi", "nana", and "gog" (dog). He always makes the same sound when he sees Lola the cat, but I don't think he really knows what he's saying.

Next month he will be 1. Wow.
