Hey There 11 Month Old Son.

• T weighs a lot. 

• Has grown. :) 

• Some fun things from this month: He crawls/cruises all over, pulls up to stand, is working on standing solo, walking with just one helping hand, wants to run, climb, and walk.

• He now says: Hi, Yay, Mom, Dad, birds, uh-oh, up, and sometimes puts "Hi" and "Dad" together for a totally adorable "Hi Dad!" 

• Yogurt is still his favorite food. Titus also thinks Diesel should share his food with him. So he empties his bowl and attempts to eat his food. ;)

• He had some fun adventures this last month.
•  He had three sets of family come see him. 
•  He went to Ojai and hungout with elementary kids.
•  He had his first train trip. Dad took him to SLO and Mom got to meet up with them after work. 

10 Months Old and Loving It

Oh Sweet Boy, words can't describe the joy of the last 10 months of really knowing you, holding you, and watching you engage in the world around you. You are such an easy joy.

Weight: ~ 21 pounds

Height: 28 inches

He gained his first two teeth.

Favorite foods: Yogurt, cheese, and pickles.

Likes: Splashing in water, petting Diesel, being outside, standing at the bathtub, jumping, giving us hugs, trying to walk everywhere with our support, (loves) his green and yellow mesh bag, his jumper, loud cars, being close to us...

Dislikes: When we apply sunscreen, being on your tummy, being taken away from mom-yep, that is definitely the phase right now.

Books: Animals, Dear Zoo, Jesus and the Children

Toys: His orange rubbery fish, his mesh bag (not really a toy, but he uses it as one), his wooden bead maze

Says: Dad, Mom, Hey, Yay!

Highlights: Watching the fireworks at the Big Bay Boom, exploring the train museum in Balboa Park, going to the Wild Animal Safari Park, seeing all kinds of family down South, watching a whole lot of World Cup games, having Grandma Coburn, Uncle Nabil, his mom, and Aunt Dori visit.

Trips: A week split between Dana Point and San Diego.

Let me go in the middle of the fountain!

He didn't want to pull his eyes away from the fireworks! 

   

9 Months Old!

So 9 months of changes have flown by.

• Eats: A much larger variety of foods. Some new favorites from this month are: cheese, couscous, and pickles. LOVES chomping on pickles! Surprise surprise, he did not like his first taste of ice cream. 
• Likes: rolling around a lot, being close or held by us (gets ansy when he wants us), walking with our support, seeing and touching other babies, petting dogs, looking at and touching trees, tracking things in the air, splashing in water, screaming (yes sometimes out of excitement and sometimes not. ;)), being tickled, smiling, blowing on his tummy, talking, bouncing, and saying Da-Da.
• Dislikes: Putting sunscreen on, when we try to get gunk out of his nose, and being transferred into his car seat. 
• He has become much aware and determined with likes and dislikes.
