11 Months

Say it isn't so......how can there only be one month left until my baby turns one?  Maverick is 11 months and is rapidly approaching his first birthday.  He weighs right at 19 lbs and I'll have to add the length later.    He is finding his voice and has been quite the little screamer lately.  It's okay when he's "talking" but can grate on your nerves during dinner when he's just bored.

Maverick has 6 teeth total, 3 on top and 3 on bottom.  He loves to eat!  He will still eat some "baby food" but mainly eats table food that isn't too processed.  I really need to work more on his sign language.  He picks it up quickly, but I often forget to show him new signs.  I'll need to drag out my book as a reminder.

Maverick is still a stationary baby.  He doesn't crawl, roll, or scoot.  This makes life for me pretty easy, but I know that's all about to change SOON.  He almost has crawling down, but has yet to go forward.

Maverick loves being outside, swinging in the swing or going for a walk in the stroller.  We all can't wait until it warms up and stays warm so we can be outside more often.  He still takes a morning nap of about 1 hour and most days will nap from 1:30-3:30 or 4 p.m.  He is ready for bed by 7:30 p.m. and usually sleeps 12 hours at night.

Maverick loves his stand-up tables and especially likes to play with anything he's not really supposed to have like paper, trash, or something of his brothers'.  We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives and can't wait to see more and more of his personality develop this coming year.

**Edited to add that Maverick has started waving this month to most everybody.  He likes waving hello and bye.  He is not saying any "words" but is still babbling.  He recently started screaming as a form of communication (as mentioned above)  So when he sees you you might get a wave and a scream hello :)
