11 months!

This kid has a personality that is just exploding all over the place these days! He is extremely busy and into everything.
Like Father like son. Dan will never live down that he drank puppy water as a small child. That happens to be Cameron's favorite no-no right now. He dumps it all over him daily it seems!


Sleep is a joke. We have tried EVERYTHING except rum/alcohol and co-sleeping. Literally, everything, and more than one time, and for longer than one night!! I am a terrible Mom. Out of desperation I have even tried a bit of benadryl or melatonin- alas it was without success! Tonight, I am trying one more last ditch effort by adding some chamomille tea to his bedtime routine. My fingers are crossed!
Cam is very independent, a very good thing. He is a Mommy's boy though and definitely prefers me over anyone else. Along with independent comes a serious stubborn streak. He can really throw a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it. There is not usually a warning or build up either. Just suddenly BAM! FEED ME! or BAM! I am a naughty sleeper, but I definitely need a nap!

At 11 months, Cam:
- Stands completely unsupported
- Has added a ton of new sounds in the last 2 days: "B", "ish", "D", "F", "G"
- He says "Hey", and "Hi". Hi was his first word.
- Has 6 total teeth cut through
- Only uses sippy cups all day, still has 2 bottles at night. One before bed, and one in the night.
- Completely transitioned to whole milk, no more formula!
- Had his first movie theatre experience to see Frozen. He did amazing and actually watched nearly all the movie!

I am so excited for his birthday. It is a little bittersweet. This year has flown by, faster than I could have imagined. Of course his shindig is a party more for Dan and I than anything else, but I am planning a fun pirate party and I can't wait to see if he will enjoy opening presents a little more than at Christmas.



Look at how curly the tips of his hair are starting to be! I love it. I have had a bunch of people ask when I am cutting his hair- not for a long while! I love it!!!


This one melts my heart. He is such a joy, and blessing! I love him so much!!
