11 Months

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: milestone

 

Can I take a moment to mourn the fact that I don’t have a baby anymore?  I can’t believe in one month my baby boy will be a year old. It is just crazy how fast the time goes. I have a goal with the physical therapist that he will be sitting up independently by 12 months. I hope it happens. He was sitting up in the chair better then he used to but I would love for him to be able to sit up for his 1 year pictures and cake smash.

He has enter the separation anxiety age. He now only wants me. He cries if anyone else tries to hold him. Makes me feel good but it would be nice to have a break every now and then.I do love hold my sweet boy, with his sweet smile. Who could say no to him?

Therapy is definitely helping him. He now reaches for stuff. Especially while I am trying to eat. I can’t tell you the amount of food that has been spilled on me lately. ha ha!

We go next Tuesday the 19th for his MRI. I am nervous but ready for it to be over.Prayers are appreciated. Thanks for all your support!

Guessing his weight, I would say around 18lbs. He is now wearing mostly 9 month clothes and some 12 months. Size 3 diapers.

He loves riding the four wheeler with Daddy & Dustyn. You all know he loves swinging too. I would say he prefers to be outside mostly. When inside he enjoys watching “The Cat in the Hat”, Wonder Pets and Busytown Mysteries.

Favorite foods: yogurt, green beans, chicken, bananas, pancakes. Favorite Snack: Mum-Mums. He will still eat anything we eat. He gets mad if you don’t feed him or fast enough. He is like a little bird too. I get 1 bite for every 3 of his. ha ha. He now has two bottom teeth. See how long it takes for his top teeth to come in.

He absolutely LOVES his brother. He smiles and laughs anytime he is around. Carsyn is finally making raspberries sounds and babbling more. Hoping he will start doing ma ma, da da, baba sounds soon. If not they want to start speech therapy also.

He is my sweet, sweet boy. Even though this season of my life is hard, he is such a blessing. I could not picture my life without him.Love you baby boy!

    Happy 11 months little man!!! I was just thinking looking at the pictures (before you said anything) that he does look like he's doing better with sitting up on his own and upper body control. You guys will get there, I'm sure of it! He's come so far in the last two months already. You're doing a great job, hang in there!!!

    Oh, I love all of these, but the first big one in your post with his eyelashes and adorable shirt out of focus makes me giddy! He is such a sweet, precious boy and you can just feel your love for him pouring out through your words. I will be sending good energy your way next week and have faith that all will be right in his world.

    They grow up so fast don't they? I always get a little sad on the first birthday too but I LOVE the second year. I think from 12 months to 24 months is so much fun! Carsyn looks adorable, love this little portrait! Still thinking about you guys and will definitely say more prayers!

    I am so glad you did an update. I was wondering how he was doing. Your little man just totally melts my heart. I know I have said that before but he just does. I wish I could squeeze him. Definitely praying.

    These photos are so fantastic! He is sooo sweet! I am only two weeks behind you, and I am freaking out a little about my big boy! The baby bird part definitely sounds familiar... anyone new to feeding A goes to slow and he gets so cranky! He like it shoveled in, hahaha

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
