11 Months Old (I can't believe we are almost 1)

Kaden is 11 months old today. I keep thinking about how I felt a year ago...and thinking about how huge and uncomfortable and hot I was...geesh...and a year later...I have a sweet 11 month old little ball of fire!! :)

This last month we have learned so many new things. Kaden is getting more and more vocal, and starting to talk more. He points at things and says "that" or "what's that?". He can say dog too. He is transitioning into his sippy cup very well, we use it everyday now. We have found a new obsession of his...MONKEYS!! We have held up numerous different types of stuffed animals along with a monkey stuffed animal, and he always chooses the monkey....so we thought his b-day party would appropriately be themed with monkeys! :)

We have been taking no more than 3 steps at a time...but I am seriously just waiting for him to take off running. He also recognizes to start clapping when we say "paddy cake", "if you're happy and you know it", or "YAAAAAY"!! We have learned to blow kisses and smack our lips when we are hungry. Dancing is another new thing that we randomly picked up. Any type of music comes on and he is bobbing his head and bouncing up and down! It's the cutest thing ever.

I am in awe at how attentive he is...he pays attention to everything, and doesn't miss a thing. He gets very emotional now if Kyle and I leave. He is getting to be more and more fun each day. He is at the age where you can actually start teaching him things and watch him learn...it's awesome!
