11 Months Old

WOW!!! I can't believe Campbell will be a year in a month. So much has changed in 11 months and a lot has changed in the last month. Babies are amazing little creatures.

Recent changes:

We are down to only one bottle a day. So far, so good! Campbell loves crackers and would eat them and nothing else for every meal. He is eating more and more meat along with all the same veggies and fruits he loves. Last week I broke down and feed him a hotdog. Can you believe that? I absolutely HATE hotdogs! We were at a baseball game, and I figured he could have one hotdog. I was hoping it might be his last, but he scarfed it down, so I'm pretty sure he will enjoy many more hotdogs in his future.

Campbell continues to crawl around the house and is getting faster and faster. He pulls up on everything, and is now trying to stand up from a seated position with nothing around to help him up. He has yet to be successful, but I'm sure it will happen before long.

His new favorite hangout spot in the house. He just pulls up on the baby gate and stands there for a while looking out the windows to the back yard...maybe it's his way of telling me he wants to go outside and play.

He continues to add words to his vocabulary. He now says Duck, Ducky, Bat, GeeGee for his sitter Angie, and occasionally when I say, "I Love You", Campbell will say, "Ov Ewe". His favorite toys are balls, a sword (from his friend Logan's birthday party), learning table, and anything that an adult might be using that he thinks he needs. He loves to play with remote controls, cell phones, keys, pens, a broom. He has quite a "big" personality! Some say it reminds them of me at that age. Hmm...I guess I'll take it as a compliment. :)

Campbell didn't go to the doctor for a well check-up this month, so we had to weigh him on the home baby scale. He didn't sit still very long, so it was hard to get an accurate reading. The scale finally stopped at 23 lbs 2 oz. He is growing and learning so fast, it's hard to keep up!

Bye, Bye until the next post.
