11 months

Oh my sweet LPs. You are officially 11 months old and mommy is in birthday planning mode. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so fast. You two are growing like weeds and discovering new things daily. 


Pierce, you sure are fierce my little one. You are still on the petite side but you don't let anything stop you. You are go-go-go ALL the time. You don't want to miss a thing!!! You are definitely a mama's boy and don't like to have me out of your sight. You are very vocal and everyone knows exactly how you feel. You are smart and fearless. We have a baby gate in which you have reached up to try and unlatch like mommy and daddy do to get in and out. Thankfully it is tricky and you won't be able to get out for a while. You have gotten brave and will let go of whatever you are holding onto, to stand all alone. You will stand anywhere from 10 - 30 seconds before toppling over. You lead with your head everywhere you go. This has led to lots of bumps and bruises for you. You have recently mastered the art of crawling and are officially up on all 4's. You still have yet to find a food you don't like - although half of it ends up on the floor because you eat by the fist full. You still have days where you spit up quite a bit and mommy has to have burp cloths readily available. You are getting very difficult to change on the changing table. You try and roll away 95% of the time. Mommy likes to count to 10 with you while doing diaper changes because sometimes it calms you down. You're still in size 2 diapers and are working on cutting some teeth. Mommy can feel the lump in your mouth and is waiting for it to break the skin. You love to reach for things you know you cannot have and you protest when you're told no. You love to shake your head "no" and you definitely know your name. Pulling mommys hair as well as your brother's is one of your favorite pastimes. This causes lots of tears - by both parties. Pierce, you are so sweet and funny. Mommy and daddy love you more than words can express. Stay spunky little one. 



Knox, you are a sweetheart. You're very thoughtful and you take time to observe what is going on around you. At the same time, you love to explore and you have become quite fond of climbing the two stairs in the play room/ media room. You are very proud of yourself when you accomplish this task. Unfortunately for you, you haven't quite figured out how to get down the stairs and will cry until you are assisted down. You love to bounce - on anything and everything. You are so strong and independent. You like to be left alone to play and are very fond of your Leap Pad Computer Tutu and Papa got you. You LOVE to dance and anytime one of your toys plays music, you boogie, swaying side to side and nodding your head. You occasionally will get up on all 4's to crawl but you still prefer to army crawl. You're quick too! You now have 2 teeth and have handled them coming in like a champ. You would never even know you were getting them except for the fingers in your mouth and excessive drooling ;).  You love your paci and when you nap, you like to stand in your crib (before you fall asleep) and throw them over the side. We must strap you down when you're in your high chair because you love to turn around and look out the window. You've even attempted to climb out a time or two. You love the table mommy and daddy got you, especially when it plays you music. Feeding you has become a little challenging. You are very good about eating your puffs and Cheerios but if a food is a texture you're not too keen on, you have started spitting it out at mommy. You still love bananas and you and Pierce are thoroughly enjoying watermelon season. We have bought lots of watermelon and it's usually gone in a day or two. You're figuring out how to use a sippy cup but mostly like to chew on it. Knox, you have the sweetest disposition. Mommy and daddy love you more than words can express. Stay sweet and thoughtful little one.
