11 months old

So we are 11 months old!

We have 11 teeth. Our two top molars came in and the bottom right has poked through too. We can see the white on the top of the one on the left so it should be in any day. This kid is a tooth growing machine.

We are still working hard on other skills such as "so big!" clapping and waving.

He is still crawling like a madman. We had to finally get some cabinet locks and some gates. We have one that is drilled into the wall when you first walk in so he can't get to the stairs and another moveable wooden one that we can use to keep him contained in the living room or out of the kitchen.

He is also cruising around the furniture that we have. In the living room we have 3 stand up toys lined up against our wall unit. He starts at one and works his way down the line. He also can cruise from the ottoman to the couch and walk down the couch. We got a walking toy that arrived today that he started to use. He is doing great with it, although he would prefer to play with the toys that are on the front of it and walk, but we'll get there!

We are getting things ready for his first birthday party. I can hardly believe he is going to be one!
Grayson is doing great with picking up food off of his tray! Here is our first really good spaghetti sauce face picture. He LOVES pasta. He just shovels it in. He does a good job with meatloaf too. For pancakes and grilled cheese he doesn't like for them to be cut into small pieces, he would just prefer holding the whole thing and taking bites off at his own discretion.
We started looking into big boy carseats. Here we are "trying one out" at our local store.

Just a rare shot of affection from Layla- mid-lick :) He loves pulling himself up to stand up by the couch and letting her lick his hands. He really likes to play with the tags attached to her collar.
