Once again, where has the time gone? Really, the next time I write my "birthday" posting, it REALLY will be Jameson's birthday and he will be ONE! This mommy is truly having a panic attack and in denial! It was just a short year ago that I was wishing and hoping I could fast forward a year so I wouldn't be huge and pregnant and now I would give anything to go back to the huge baby bump...
Anyways... This past month has been... well... fun and stressful all in one. Mostly fun, but I can't leave out the stress because it's true. Our little man finally learned to crawl! (yay!) AND walk behind toys... AND stand up in his crib! Busy, Busy month I tell ya! Although it was pretty stressful at first with a little man always on the move (and thinking I had the house almost baby-proofed but quickly realized I was very wrong!), it truly has been a blessing and so much fun. I can tell Jameson is much happier now that he can move around and get to all the things/places he wants! The house is a total disaster by the end of the day with toy explosions EVERYWHERE, but I truly love it and don't mind one bit!
11 Month Statistics
Weight: 26lbs
(this was on our home scale, so it may be off just a bit)
Height: So, we tried really hard to get J's length..
The best we could get was about 31 inches... give or take just a little due to
a squirming 11 month old!

Clothing Size: 12 months along with some 18 month
This last month has really been an "eating" learning curve for me! We have been working really hard to get Jameson into a regular eating schedule that incorporates three main meals a day along with two regular snack times. He still gets an eight ounce bottle when he wakes up in the morning and right before bed, but overall, the goal is to slowly cut back on the formula intake and increase on the real food. I also have to mention the fact that we have been playing the "sippy cup" trial and error game for quite some time now. (So, anyone out there looking for sippy cups, we have pretty much bought out Target and Babies R Us' supply!) As of today, the progress of sippy cup training is getting a little better, but there hasn't been too much to report on just yet. (lots of messes - between Jameson throwing them EVERYWHERE and them leaking everywhere while he is trying them out... let me tell you, formula has been splattered places I thought would never be possible!)
I would have to say one of our favorite developments has been the fact that Jameson LOVES to play with all of his toys and... and... loves to play all by himself! Don't get me wrong, we still follow him around, chat with him as much as possible, but we are quickly learning that he is actually enjoying his time alone and learning a ton of problem solving skills along the way! (I think this has been difficult for me to comprehend because I have the mind set that he needs our help 24/7, needs our attention, needs mommy and daddy by his side ALL.. THE... TIME... and that is just not the case anymore)
So on top of the stress of having a mover and shaker, Jameson is quickly developing one heck of a personality and major "testing" skills! Let's just say the temper tantrums are starting full speed and as soon as you say "No No" he starts smiling and trying whatever he shouldn't be doing once again! Jameson has also mastered the "fake" cry to get what he wants! Fortunately Luke and I have caught on to that little trick quite quickly... Little Mr. Man wasn't too happy about that, but it surly makes for some great laughs on our end!
The monthly photo shoot has really taken a turn for the worse I guess you would have to say! It's almost impossible to get Jameson to sit still and, as you will soon see, whenever I say his name or put the camera up to take a picture he quickly turns away or around! Although the pictures may not be the greatest, they do make for some good laughs and great stories (I can't wait for the day Jameson's significant other asks for baby pictures! He is in so much trouble)
I think I caught the one second he was actually sitting down
Seriously ALWAYS on the move!
I gave up on the sticker for a while and just put it on his back
so he wouldn't tear it off and so you could actually see the number
Trying really hard to get a picture with his sign
Such a big boy!
I can't believe it's been 11 months since Jameson came into our lives! He truly has made our family perfect! Love you little man!!!
