Connor 11 Months Old



I cannot believe we are one month away from Connor turning one year old!! This year has flown by entirely too fast! I have enjoyed watching our sweet boy grow into a toddler so much! On Connor's 11 month birthday, he had tubes put in his ears. He did so good! And, knock on wood, has been well ever since! Yay! Chronic ear infections since 4 months old were no fun! So glad Connor is feeling better and more than likely hearing better! Speaking of, he talks all the time. He is saying more and more consonants  and pointing to everything asking what objects are. He is such a curious little boy.

Connor is still not walking. I really thought he would be walking by now as mobile as he is. He is cruising furniture like crazy and walking with walker and anything else he can push along. Cabinet doors are one of his favorite things to play with..opening and closing. Loves our pots and pans too! Loves banging them around while Daddy cooks in the kitchen.

Connor had his first Christmas this month! His favorite toys were his Little tikes truck and ball pit. As soon as he saw the ball pit he crawled in and began playing! Loved it! Then he saw the truck from Gigi and Aunt Jen Jen.. Loved it! Crawled right in and waited for us to push him around. He had the biggest and sweetest smile on his face while riding. Connor also got a all terrain Red Flyer wagon which he hasn't gotten to ride in much because it has been so cold. I have a feeling that will be more enjoyable once the weather warms up!

At 11 months old, Connor is
- 21 pounds
- 27 inches
- Eating real food 3 times per day with 2 snacks
- Drinking whole milk! We transitioned to milk 2 weeks from his first birthday without any problems! So glad we are finally off of that expensive formula!
- Sleeping 12 hours per night
- Wearing size 3 diapers
- Wearing 9-12 month clothes
- Wearing size 3 shoes
- Loves finger foods that he can feed himself....and Nola!
- Loves dancing to music :)
- Standing for short periods of time and has taken 1 step
- Bath time and playing outside are still his favorites
- Sticks his tongue out when you ask "where's your tongue?!"
- Favorite song "If your happy and you know it clap your hands"
- Waving and saying "bye bye"
- Saying mama, dada, bye bye, ball, and mimicking lots more!

Connor 10 Months Old


Connor has reached double digits! Time please slow down. Only 2 more months and we will have a 1 year old! I am already party planning on Etsy and Pinterest for his first birthday which is becoming way more stressful than I ever imagined! Connor is walking with walker and trying to stand up on his own! It won't be long and we will have a walker! He is definitely a busy body and loves getting into everything! :)

Connor had his first Thanksgiving this month! He looked so cute in his little turkey outfit and had a bite of turkey and dressing, sweet potato casserole, green beans, and ham. He wasn't feeling the best because we still have ear infection and upper respiratory infection. It's going on 2 months now. We have an appointment with ENT next weekend so I'm assuming tubes are in our near future.

At 10 months old, Connor is
-20 pounds 5 ounces
-inches
- Eating anything and everything! I still make his food so he has healthy choices but this boy is not a picky eater at all! For now anyway...
- 4 bottles a day, 4 oz each and 3 small meals with 1 snack
- Sippy cup with water 
- Sleeping 12-14 hours. Connor loves his sleep like his Mama!
- Walking with walker and cruising furniture much better
- Laughing a lot!
- Saying mama, dada, bye, ball
- Waving bye and clapping
- Loves balls and playing fetch with Nola
- My baby boy is so smart and such a quick learner!
