Paxton 11 Months

Shenanigans with Paxey at 11 Months...

1. You like to pretend that you are bashful when people say hello to you.  You will look the other way for a bit and then turn your head back to them and eventually smile .

2. Your top 2 teeth are coming in, but are taking awhile to come all the way down! Looks like you are going to have a gap too.

3. You will growl at people sometimes!

4. You still take awesome 2-3 hour naps. You nap 2x a day still and usually your morning nap is the longest.

5. You like to crawl and explore the house and all the crumbs on the floor.  When you come looking for me you get stuck under the kitchen table and just cry.

6. You are still a Mama's boy and will cry for me to hold you if I'm in the same room.

7. Your new snack of choice lately has been veggie straws.

8. You eat oatmeal on the daily with a little brown sugar and milk.

9. You are able to scoot yourself across the couches.

10. Grammy Schaub bought you new brown shoes for Christmas and they look like little old man shoes with velcro straps.

11. You still enjoy eating sweet potatoes, and poop them out quickly after consuming them!

12. While we were at Grammy Schaub's for Christmas break 2014 you started waving goodbye, it's the cutest thing! Your 2nd word you say now is "buh-bye!"

13. You are drinking out of your sippie better, but need more practice so that Mommy can wean you from nursing.

14. You're still nursing 6-7x a day, I definitely think I'll be breastfeeding you longer than a year.  I never planned on going longer than 1 year bc breastfeeding is always challenging for me but I feel that with you still being so little that you need it.

15. You're very entertained by the piano at Grammy Schaub's house and love to bang your hands on the keys.

16. Aunt Amber and Uncle John got you this navy blue beret hat and you look like a little boy from Newsies in it or a train conductor.

17. Since it's cold you've started wearing more of the free sweaters Amber got for you last year from the army and you look so handsome in them.

18. We were in Mesa for Christmas and Mommy thought that she was going to die from exhaustion. You slept so horrible for the first 5 nights and literally would wake up every 2 hrs crying and would want me to rock you back to sleep. It was rough for the both of us. I still wish that you took a binky to help self sooth yourself. 

19. You like to suck on the strings from Mom's hoodie jackets and pajamas.

20. You smack your lips when you eat, it's so funny! Like you want everyone to know you're enjoying your food, and you always two hand your food into your mouth! 

21. You're my little sock collector. Whenever you are roaming the house I always find you with a sock in hand that Annabelle me or Dad have left laying around.

22. When you get excited you breathe really fast and wave both of your arms up and down, up and down and laugh while doing it!

23. Dad likes to call you "Bud Bud!"
