happy 11 months!

i can't believe we're celebrating his 11 month birthday...it just seems like it all goes by too quickly. i wish i could bottle up every moment with him. well, ok, maybe not every moment, but you get the idea:)

so let's see, at 11 months, jack has become quite the character. you say "no" and he acknowledges you, but then continues to do it...umm, what part of "no" didn't you understand!? he knows what various objects are, such as dog, light, ball & fan to name a few. we're very close to walking, he just needs a little more confidence. but one of his most recent developments is one of my favorites, he loves to have you read to him. the kid who never wants to sit in one place for more than 2 seconds will now sit with you while you read him a story--i love it! just yesterday he crawled over with a book in his hand and gave it to me to read to him. it was his current favorite "the nose book" by dr. suess--so cute:)

monkey i love you more each day...

caught red-handed...i think i pull him away from his drawers at least 10 times a day!?
(excuse the shiny face--he's got some dry skin under his nose!)

quick...i'll crawl right past her while she's taking my picture before she can yell at me!

i just though this was so cute...he always sits with his legs crossed

here he is with his new push toy...he does this cute thing where he leans his head to the side. pretty sure he's got me wrapped around his finger!
