11 Months!

Henry is now 11 months old.  It’s crazy how sometimes I think this year has flown by and other times I think it is taking forever!  I guess it just depends on the days… henry has mellowed out a lot since he was born.  He takes about a 2 hour nap daily and gives mommy some down time in the afternoon.  (Thank god) he is still rather clingy and prefers mommy to anyone and everyone else.  Henry has gotten both his bottom middle teeth and all 4 in the middle of the top have been coming in together for the past 2 weeks.   They have finally broken through within the last 2 days. 

Henry is crawling around like a fool and can pull himself up to anything.  He recently just discovered how to climb stairs as well.  This little man has developed an attitude and now I know how mike feels sometimes when he has to deal with me J  Henry does not like to be told “no” and will crawl after me and try to hit me when I won’t let him do things he wants to.

Henry has started drinking whole cow’s milk today.  He seems to be taking it great and didn’t even seem to notice when I swapped it out for his formula.  I am sure it tastes better!  He has also been on a Sippy cup for about 2.5 weeks now too.  We have done away with nipple bottles except during bed time.  Mostly we only keep them then because the Sippy cups we have don’t hold enough milk for the hungry man before bed.

Language has been a difficult thing with henry.  He is making tons of sounds, continues to growl, but he won’t vocalize any real words and doesn’t even seem to try.  I think most of it is laziness. I know pretty well what he wants now that he doesn’t even need to ask for anything.  I’m sure with time he’ll get sick of waiting for me and finally speak up!
